On November 27, the kickoff meeting for the Aosen Special Steel Digital Factory System Project was held successfully, marking a crucial step in the company’s digital transformation. Attending the meeting were Li Sheng, Deputy General Manager of China Metallurgical Beijing Jingcheng Digital Technology Co., Ltd.; Zhu Zhibin, Assistant to the General Manager; and Liu Saiguang, Director of the Digital Innovation Department at Aosen Special Steel, among other leaders.
This project innovatively integrates digital twin technology to build a digital management and control system covering four dimensions: company-level, production-line-level, equipment-level, and product-level. It is the first to establish a digital twin factory in the steelmaking and special rolling workshops, making it a benchmark project for Aosen Special Steel’s digital transformation. Upon completion, the project will effectively break down data silos among various information systems, comprehensively enhance the digitalization level of processes such as production scheduling, quality control, energy management, and equipment maintenance, enable full-lifecycle data traceability, and drive the enterprise’s shift from “experience-driven” to “data-driven,” thereby injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the steel industry.
Going forward, as we enter a new stage of high-quality development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Aosen Steel will focus on deepening the construction of its intelligent manufacturing system and driving digital and intelligent upgrades across the entire production and operational process. Relying on this platform, we will consistently focus on our three core goals—“Premium Aosen, Green Aosen, and Smart Aosen”—to foster knowledge sharing and technological outreach. We will continue to advance the construction of smart factories, achieving end-to-end digital and intelligent transformation—from R&D and marketing through manufacturing to customer service—and providing customers with cutting-edge digital products and solutions.
Zhang Xin, Project Manager of China Metallurgical Beijing Jingcheng Digital Technology Co., Ltd., and his project team, along with Guo Jian, Director of the Aosen Special Steel Plant’s Steelmaking Plant; Li Hang, Head of the Digital Innovation Department; Zhang Zhonglei, Head of the Equipment Management Department; Zhang Quanshun, Head of the Quality Department; and Zhao Zhipu, Deputy Head of the Production Management Department, attended the meeting.

Breaking through the “last mile,” 2,200 kilometers of green direct transportation.
Aosen Steel has successfully bridged the “last mile”—this is Aosen’s first green achievement of the new year, and also the starting point for walking hand-in-hand with our customers toward a low-carbon future.
In recent years, Aosen Steel has elevated its digital and intelligent transformation to the core strategic priority of enterprise development, fully promoting the deep integration of digital technologies with physical manufacturing. Guided by the advancement of smart factory construction, the company has systematically established new digital infrastructure—including an industrial internet platform and a dedicated 5G network—and, building on this foundation, has vigorously promoted the comprehensive implementation and deepened expansion of digital technologies in key areas such as production, logistics, energy, and environmental protection. A series of digital and intelligent application scenarios covering the entire production and business chain have now translated into tangible improvements in efficiency and breakthroughs in capabilities. Previously, the company has already been recognized with numerous honors, including “Double AAA-level” for smart factories, integration of informatization and industrialization, and digital transformation; DCMM robust level; and CMMM integrated level. This latest award further solidifies its leading position in digitalization within the industry.
In recent years, Aosen Steel has actively implemented a “talent-driven enterprise” strategy and continuously deepened its industry-academia-research cooperation with high-quality institutions such as Hebei University of Industrial Technology. The company has cumulatively obtained 18 invention patents and 134 utility model patents, and holds qualifications for research platforms including a postdoctoral research workstation, steadily strengthening its technological innovation capabilities.
The deepening of this cooperative relationship reflects the shared commitment of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to collaborate synergistically and jointly elevate the level of foundational materials for high-end equipment in China. Aosen Special Steel looks forward to continuously absorbing cutting-edge market demands through close collaboration with industry-leading customers such as the Wafangdian Bearing Group, thereby driving upgrades in R&D and manufacturing, creating greater value for our customers, and providing solid material support for China’s high-end equipment manufacturing sector to foster independent innovation and high-quality development.
Looking ahead, Aosen Steel will closely align with the requirements of the 15th Five-Year Plan for high-end, intelligent, and green development in the manufacturing sector. We will continue to advance key initiatives such as optimizing our energy systems, tracking and managing carbon data, and building smart dispatching platforms. Together with our partners across the industrial chain, we will jointly create a green, low-carbon, and highly collaborative steel industry ecosystem, injecting Aosen’s strength into driving high-quality development of the industry.
This visit and exchange further strengthened the strategic partnership between Aosen Special Steel and Fanruan Software, and clearly outlined the direction for deeper cooperation between the two parties in the future fields of manufacturing digitalization and intelligentization. Looking ahead, Aosen Special Steel will continue to remain firmly rooted in physical manufacturing, driven by innovation, and actively collaborate with outstanding partners. We are committed to deeply integrating digital technologies into every link of our enterprise’s production and operations value chain, steadily advancing toward high-quality development goals characterized by high-end sophistication, intelligence, and sustainability, and wholeheartedly setting a new benchmark for intelligent manufacturing in the industry.
