Shangchun Zhizao Speaks: Technological Empowerment for Industry Upgrades

In the keynote speech themed "Using the 'Green' of Intelligent Manufacturing to Explore the Future of the Industry, and Using Cross-border 'Innovation' to Solidify the Foundation of a Strong Country," Du Mingchao, General Manager of Shangchun Zhizao, directly addressed the three core challenges of the coatings industry—efficiency, environmental protection, and safety—sharing three breakthrough intelligent manufacturing achievements of automated equipment in the coatings industry:

 

 

 

Circulation cleaning technology: Linking equipment and reactors to solve the problems of pipeline residue waste and hazardous waste;

Three-dimensional intelligent shared equipment: Achieving "cleaning while filling" to improve efficiency for multiple varieties and high-frequency changeovers;

Empty barrel three-dimensional storage system: Optimizing space and logistics management to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

 

 

The solution, with its core values of "precision, efficiency, and safety," sparked enthusiastic responses, with guests praising it for providing a practical technological path for industry upgrades.

Practicing Responsibility: Love Transmission and Intelligent Manufacturing Go Hand in Hand

The conference specially set up a "Passing on Love, Letting Love Grow" public welfare session, where Du Mingchao, General Manager of Shangchun Zhizao, took the stage to receive the award as an "entrepreneur of love," demonstrating the company's commitment to using technology for good and giving back to society. In the intelligent equipment salon, Bai Anbang, director of the business department of Shangchun Zhizao, and industry experts discussed the application of automation technology, proposing a three-in-one intelligent upgrade framework of "precise weighing, intelligent filling, and visual control," showcasing Shangchun's strength in empowering the industry's high-quality development with technology.

Targeting the Future: Working Together Towards a New Journey of "Tri-Transformation"

In 2025, Shangchun Zhizao officially settled in the Changzhou Zhonglou Xinxin Intelligent Industry Park, relying on a approximately 15,000㎡ intelligent manufacturing base to create a benchmark for ultra-clean filling covering fields such as new energy and semiconductors. In the future, Shangchun will uphold the vision of "Upholding the original intention of industrial development and shouldering the global mission of green development," and will assist the industry with three actions:

 

 

 

Be a facilitator of efficiency improvement: Promoting the new paradigm of "3-sided 0-wait" intelligent manufacturing;

Be an enabler of green transformation: Achieving resource circulation and low-carbon production;

Be a practitioner of ecological co-construction: Jointly building an innovation ecosystem with industry-academia-research partners.
