60 Minutes Tonight, a program on Wuxi City News Channel, launched a special report themed Exploring Wuxi's New Productive Forces with the focus Xiongwei: Equipping Manufacturing with an Innovation Engine. The camera zeroed in on Xiongwei's intelligent manufacturing scenarios, core technological breakthroughs and future plans. Through an exclusive interview, the program showcased the company's achievements in patented technologies, design capabilities and automation practices, highlighting its role as a core engine of "Wuxi's Strength" in the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.

I. On-Site Footage: The Reality of Intelligent Manufacturing in the Workshop

In this report, the camera of 60 Minutes Tonight went deep into Xiongwei's production workshops and office areas, vividly presenting a Wuxi model of intelligent manufacturing: high-speed robotic arms accurately processing components, automated blanking devices efficiently connecting production processes, and all links operating in an orderly manner in modern factory buildings. Meanwhile, the camera also captured the R&D and collaboration scenes in various department offices, showcasing the company's complete operational picture of "precision manufacturing + intelligent innovation" in an all-round way and interpreting its hard-core strength as the core engine of the production chain.

II. Interview Session: Breaking Through Industrial Bottlenecks with Technological Innovations

In the report, Zhao Junwei, CEO of Xiongwei, shared in depth the company's innovative practices. He noted that as a national-level specialized, sophisticated, distinctive and innovative enterprise, Xiongwei has always taken technological innovation as its core driving force. To date, the company has accumulated more than 500 patents of various types and over ten invention patents, covering key fields such as process technology, die technology, design technology and equipment technology. These technological breakthroughs have not only directly improved production efficiency, but also effectively broken through numerous bottlenecks in the development of precision components in the industry.

Notably, the self-developed industrial die development platform built on the company's AI large model technology has completed trial operation and been officially put into application, boosting the efficiency of traditional die design by 20 times. In the meantime, the "fully automated industrial robot for production workers" developed for production scenarios is in the stage of practical simulation. Currently, the company's automation level has reached Phase 2.0, and it will continue to advance toward high-level automation of Phase 3.0 and 4.0 in the future, further unlocking the potential of intelligent manufacturing.

III. Wuxi's New Productive Forces: Industrial Momentum Growing from the Workshop

The reporter of 60 Minutes Tonight commented in the report that Xiongwei's innovative practices are exactly the beating new pulse of Wuxi's manufacturing industry. Its technological breakthroughs and exploration of intelligent manufacturing have made "precision" and "reliability" its core competitive advantages, and even endowed the production lines with gradual "thinking capabilities".

Founded in 1996, Xiongwei has been deeply engaged in the precision manufacturing field for nearly 30 years. Relying on the production capacity layout of its seven production bases and its full-process capabilities covering "R&D-design-production-inspection", the company has extended the value of intelligence from the workshop to the entire industrial chain, emerging as an important engine for Wuxi's economy to pursue broader development vision.

IV. Future Outlook: Advancing High-Level Automation, Sustaining Innovation

On the path of innovation-driven development, Xiongwei's exploration has never stopped. Going forward, the company will continue to focus its efforts on the core directions of high-level iteration of automation and in-depth empowerment of AI:

On the one hand, it will accelerate the scenario verification and implementation of the "fully automated industrial robot for production workers", drive the phased leap of automation level, and realize a more efficient and intelligent management upgrade of production processes; On the other hand, it will deepen the application of AI technology in die design, production process optimization and other fields, further amplify the advantages of AI, and endow the production lines with more precise "thinking capabilities".

This special report by 60 Minutes Tonight is not only an authoritative recognition of Xiongwei's past innovative achievements, but also an expectation for the company to lead the development of new productive forces in the manufacturing industry in the future. Moving forward, Xiongwei will continue to take technological innovation as its "engine", keep making breakthroughs in the fields of precision manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, and inject more Xiongwei's driving force into the high-quality development of Wuxi's manufacturing industry.
