Behind the metal casing of a laptop lies exceptional quality co-created by multiple precision anodizing processes and a strict accuracy testing system. The manufacturing of 3C profiles adheres to the most rigorous industrial design standards, with manufacturing precision measured in microns, mirror-like surface treatment, second-level synchronized production efficiency, and carbon emissions reduced to an extreme minimum—all combining to form a threshold representing the highest global industry standards. For a long time, this set of standards was monopolized by enterprises from Japan and Germany.However, a Chinese aluminum alloy technology enterprise has successfully broken through this barrier. Innovation Group is a world-class green aluminum alloy enterprise, whose 3C electronic components made in China are installed in internationally renowned brands such as Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, and OPPO. The transformation journey of this traditional manufacturing enterprise has become a model for "Made in China" to shift from a "scale-oriented" to a "standard-oriented" development model.
In the consumer electronics sector, the standards set by international giants often represent the highest level of manufacturing. Their requirements for aluminum material suppliers are comprehensive and strict, covering three major dimensions: environment, accuracy, and efficiency.
Environment: The heavy metal content in wastewater from anodizing workshops must reach an extremely low level, and the emission limit of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) far exceeds the internationally accepted standards.
Accuracy: High consistency and reliability are required in terms of strength, hardness, toughness, anodizing effect, and other properties.
Efficiency: On the premise of meeting extremely high environmental protection and accuracy standards, large-scale mass production, cost control, and timely delivery must be guaranteed.
This requires the manufacturing system to simultaneously possess ultra-high precision, extreme cleanliness, and efficient responsiveness. Meeting this standard means a complete restructuring of the entire manufacturing system.
Innovation Group’s breakthrough stems from its strategic investment in intelligent manufacturing systems. By systematically deploying automatic control systems and industrial Internet platforms, it has realized data-driven management and real-time optimization of the entire production process, building an intelligent process system featuring "visualization, controllability, and optimizability."In key links such as electrolysis, the company applies AI algorithms to dynamically adjust current efficiency, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing losses, with a marked decrease in unit energy consumption. The overall operational efficiency has reached the international advanced level.This system not only enables real-time monitoring and adaptive adjustment of process parameters but also continuously optimizes the production process through data-driven approaches. While improving the consistency of product quality, it effectively reduces carbon emissions, demonstrating the comprehensive benefits of intelligent manufacturing.
Innovation Group’s practice reflects the transformation direction of China’s manufacturing industry. When the industry was still competing on costs, the company insisted on increasing R&D investment, holding 721 patents (including 68 invention patents), and leading or participating in the compilation of more than 30 national and industrial standards.In terms of standard development, its automotive aluminum products have passed the certification of German automakers and entered the supply chains of Porsche and BMW. Through the packaged output of standardized processes, it has achieved a leap from product output to technology output.
Against the backdrop of global industrial upgrading, the definition of manufacturing is being restructured. Innovation Group’s practice demonstrates the new connotation of "Made in China":
By deploying 5G + Industrial Internet, the adjustment time of production lines has been shortened.
It has invested over 100 million yuan in building a photovoltaic power generation system, achieving an annual carbon reduction of approximately 31,448.17 tons.
It has established an industrial design center, integrating materials science with aesthetic design to develop new alloy materials with a jade-like texture.
As enterprises like Innovation Group continue to break through manufacturing limits, "Made in China" is realizing a role transformation in the global value chain—from "OEM assembly" to "standard-setting." This transformation path proves that only by deeply integrating intelligent manufacturing with process innovation can China gain real discourse power in the high-end manufacturing field. Standard output, equipment localization, and process reengineering are becoming the new foundation for "Made in China" to go global!
