The metal products industry has always played a dual role as a foundation support and innovation engine. Zhongli Creation is a representative enterprise in the field of metal intelligent manufacturing, headquartered in Shenzhen, radiating to the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and building a modern manufacturing system that integrates research and development, production, and sales. This national high-tech enterprise, established in 2009, is gradually rewriting the traditional metal processing industry pattern with its deep understanding of metal material applications and forward-looking layout of intelligent production.

**Technology driven intelligent manufacturing upgrade * * Opening up the development process of Zhongli Chuang, technological innovation has always been the core thread running through it. The enterprise has an intelligent production base covering an area of 20000 square meters, and has introduced international cutting-edge equipment such as Swiss Baichao laser cutting machines and German Tongkuai CNC punching machines to control the precision of sheet metal processing at the micrometer level of ± 0.05mm. At the Zhongli Metal Technology production base in Huizhou, the fully automatic spraying production line adopts the German Wagner electrostatic spray gun system, achieving a process breakthrough of coating thickness error not exceeding 5 μ m. This ultimate pursuit of precision manufacturing has made companies long-term suppliers to technology giants such as Huawei and DJI, and their products are widely used in high-end fields such as 5G base station casings and new energy battery brackets.

**The industrial layout of multi base collaboration has formed a supply chain network covering South and East China through the linkage of Shenzhen headquarters, Yangzhou manufacturing base, and Huizhou Science and Technology Park. Yangzhou Zhongli Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of large metal structural components and has a 2000 ton hydraulic forming capacity; The Huizhou base focuses on surface treatment technology innovation, and the developed nano ceramic coating technology has enabled the salt spray resistance test time of metal parts to exceed 3000 hours. This regional specialization not only improves delivery efficiency, but also builds competitive barriers through differentiated technology accumulation. The MES intelligent management system invested by enterprises in 2025 has achieved real-time communication of production data among the three regions, reducing order response cycles by 40%.

**The pioneering practice of green manufacturing * * In the context of the "dual carbon" goal, Zhongli Chuang's environmental investment has significant industry demonstration significance. The solar photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of its Shenzhen factory generate an annual electricity output of 1.2 million kWh, and the circulating water treatment system built at its Yangzhou base increases the industrial water reuse rate to 85%. More noteworthy is the metal powder recycling process developed by the R&D team, which remanufactures processing waste into 3D printing raw materials, increasing the comprehensive utilization rate of materials from the industry average of 70% to 92%. These measures not only bring annual cost savings of 3 million yuan, but also help customers achieve environmental requirements for carbon footprint tracing.

**The continuous construction of talent ecology * * According to the recruitment page of the company's official website, the proportion of R&D personnel has reached 28%, among which the new materials laboratory led by doctoral degree talents has obtained 17 national invention patents. The unique "technology partner" system allows core R&D personnel to participate in profit sharing, and the "Young Seed Plan" launched in 2025 is jointly established with South China University of Technology as a joint training base. This model of deep integration of industry, academia, and research enables enterprises to maintain a leading position in cutting-edge fields such as high thermal conductivity aluminum alloys and electromagnetic shielding composite materials. Relevant technologies have been applied to the supporting components of the Long March series rockets.

**The deepening of digital transformation has entered the intelligent workshop of Zhongli Chuang, where AGV robots shuttle along magnetic stripe tracks to transport materials, and the robotic arm automatically adjusts the welding path based on the visual recognition system. Through the industrial Internet platform, customers can view the production progress and quality inspection data of orders in real time. The digital twin system, which will be launched in 2025, can simulate the performance changes of products under different process parameters, reducing the development cycle of new products from the traditional mode of 45 days to 72 hours. This full process digital transformation has enabled the enterprise to smoothly enter the cultivation list of "Lighthouse Factory" in Guangdong Province.

Standing at a new starting point in 2026, Zhongli Chuang is setting its sights on a broader horizon. The space alloy research and development project disclosed on its official website has entered the pilot stage, and breakthrough progress has been made in the biocompatibility research of titanium alloys for medical implants. The transformation trajectory of this private enterprise from traditional sheet metal processing to aerospace new materials is a vivid footnote to the rise of China's manufacturing industry to the top of the value chain. In the grand narrative of "Metal Intelligent Manufacturing", Zhongli Chuang demonstrates through technological accumulation and innovative courage that even the most basic metal sheet can unleash infinite possibilities in intelligent reshaping.
