In 2025, the smart manufacturing readiness level of China's power cord industry reached 3.2, with leading enterprises achieving levels above 4.0. Facing fragmented downstream demand and agile delivery requirements, manufacturers are turning to modular, reconfigurable flexible manufacturing systems. For example, Jinbei Electric's Changsha smart factory adopts a "unitization + AGV + digital twin" architecture, reducing production line changeover time from an average of 4.5 hours to 38 minutes, and improving overall equipment effectiveness to 86.7%. Meanwhile, AI quality inspection systems have been fully deployed, using machine vision for 360-degree scanning of cable surfaces to identify micron-level defects in real-time, stabilizing the factory pass rate above 99.95%.
