At the meeting, Chairman Liu Shuqi delivered a keynote speech, sharing Tongwei's practical experience in intelligent transformation and digital upgrade. He stated that Tongwei has always regarded intelligent transformation and digital upgrade as the core driving force for the high-quality development of the enterprise. After years of continuous innovation and in-depth industrial development, Tongwei has formed a complete PV new energy industry chain covering high-purity crystalline silicon, high-efficiency cells, module manufacturing and terminal applications. The core process of Yongxiang High-Purity Crystalline Silicon – the "8th-Generation Yongxiang Method" – achieves a product purity of 99.999999999% and maintains the top global market share. Meanwhile, TW Solar has ranked first in the world in terms of cell shipment volume for eight consecutive years.

Chairman Liu Shuqi Delivering a Keynote Speech

Chairman Liu Shuqi said that TW Solar Meishan Company has made a landmark breakthrough in the field of "intelligent transformation and digital upgrade". By deploying more than 50 innovative practices of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), systematically integrating artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and algorithm models, it has built a digital closed-loop system of "perception - decision - execution". This has achieved remarkable results: the photoelectric conversion efficiency has increased by 12%, the product defect rate has decreased by 41%, the production conversion cost has decreased by 37%, and the carbon dioxide emissions have decreased by 33%. Tongwei's practice fully proves that intelligent and digital transformation is not a "choice", but a "compulsory course" for the reconstruction of enterprise competitiveness, and even more a core production factor for promoting the leap of the manufacturing industry.

The significance of the Lighthouse Factory lies not only in the production of high-quality PV products, but also in the formation of a set of intelligent production paradigms that can be implemented and replicated. Tongwei will continue to deepen the methodology of the "Lighthouse Factory", work with upstream and downstream industrial chains and local enterprises to build a high-end, intelligent and green industrial ecosystem. It will help more manufacturing enterprises reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve quality and enhance intelligence, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results at a higher level.

After the meeting, the participating leaders and guests walked into TW Solar Meishan Company, visited the company's exhibition hall and intelligent manufacturing production lines on the spot. They gained an in-depth understanding of the enterprise's latest application achievements in automation, informatization, artificial intelligence and other aspects, and highly affirmed Tongwei's demonstration role in promoting intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation.

This meeting has injected new and strong impetus into the transformation and upgrading of Meishan's manufacturing industry, and once again demonstrated the practical responsibility and leading role of leading Chinese new energy manufacturing enterprises represented by Tongwei in the field of "intelligent transformation and digital upgrade". In the future, Tongwei will continue to take the "Lighthouse Factory" as the benchmark, take innovation as the engine, data as the link and green as the background color. It will work with the government, the industry and all sectors of society to jointly promote energy transition and intelligent manufacturing upgrading, actively respond to Meishan's "strategy of building a strong city through intelligent manufacturing", help Meishan accelerate the leap from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", and contribute "Tongwei's strength" to building a manufacturing power and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
