Zhejiang Zhongcai Pipes Science & Technology Co. Ltd. has signed a cooperative agreement with Megvii to build unmanned workshops. General manager of the company Jia Liqiang said that sorting and encasing were completed by employees after pipes of different types rolled off production lines, but now all the work is done with the advanced visual recognition technology of Megvii.

"When enterprises scale up their businesses, the interaction between data and devices is very important. Many parameters were predicted based on experience, which always led to poor management and deviations in decision making. Now, it only takes a few hours to generate production and sales figures, so we have precise control over the business," Jia noted. He believes digital transformation decides the future of enterprises.

Whether smart transformation is widely promoted among medium and small sized enterprises concerns the effects of industrial upgrading of the county, said Li Ning, secretary of the Communist Party of China Xinchang county committee.
