China's manufacturing industry is undergoing changes and upgrades. A striking phenomenon is the emergence of a large number of "lighthouse factories". "Lighthouse factories" represent the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry and are also known as "the most advanced factories in the world." At the digital intelligence center of the world's first "lighthouse factory" in Jiangsu's special steel industry, the reporter saw a large screen displaying all the operating data of the entire factory in real time, from the unloading and transportation of raw materials to blast furnace smelting and rolling finished products, real-time analysis and command of production, and coordination efficiency increased by 90%. More than 200 intelligent applications, as well as more than 100 sets of intelligent equipment such as detection robots and 5G unmanned vehicles, have given each link more "clairvoyance" and "super hearing", making production smoother. The World Economic Forum has released the latest list of "Lighthouse Factories". Among the 21 newly added manufacturing "Lighthouse Factories", 11 are located in China, covering multiple industries such as new energy, home appliances, and steel. Currently, there are 62 "Lighthouse Factories" in China out of the 153 "Lighthouse Factories" in the world, making it the country with the most "Lighthouse Factories" in the world.

Advanced electrical control technology is the core foundation for die casting machine to realize efficient, stable and intelligent production, playing an irreplaceable role in upgrading modern die casting equipment manufacturing. Excellent electrical control systems directly determine the precision, stability and operational efficiency of automated die casting machinery in industrial mass production. The complete electrical control system of intelligent die casting equipment consists of three core modules: PLC controller, motor drive unit and real-time sensor detection system. As the core control unit, the PLC controller undertakes instruction reception, data analysis and overall operation control. The motor drive system drives all moving components of the die casting machine, while high-precision sensors monitor real-time production parameters, realizing closed-loop automatic adjustment for the entire casting process. Three key supporting technologies guarantee superior equipment performance: professional PLC programming, precise motor drive and high-sensitivity sensor detection. These core technologies enable automated operation, ultra-high molding precision and long-term stable operation of industrial die casting machine, effectively reducing production errors and product defects. Widely applied in automotive manufacturing and high-end machinery industries, the optimized electrical control system supports the mass production of core components such as engine cylinders and gearbox housings, ensuring accurate dimensional tolerance and stable mechanical properties. The continuous upgrading of electrical control technology further accelerates the automation and intelligent transformation of global foundry manufacturing, greatly improving production efficiency and finished product quality for die casting equipment.

The seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened in Shanghai, with foreign leaders praising China's openness, inclusiveness and responsibility as a major country. They said the CIIE showcases the charm of China's super-large-scale market and creates development opportunities for global companies. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim noted that the CIIE offers a platform for companies worldwide, especially SMEs, to showcase their strengths and attract investment. He stressed that free trade cooperation should promote global progress and sustainable development, not suppress competition. Quoting a Chinese saying, “Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade,” he called for building a community with a shared future for mankind. As a key window for foreign companies to display new products and technologies in China, this year's CIIE attracted over 3,000 exhibitors. Many brought global debuts, cutting-edge technologies and innovative services. The expo focuses on four major tracks: digital economy, green and low-carbon, life sciences, and manufacturing technology. It has upgraded the innovation incubation zone and set up a new materials zone for the first time. The automobile area presents the possibilities of future travel. Promoting innovation through opening up, the first six CIIEs showcased nearly 2,500 first-launched products, technologies and services. The seventh CIIE centers on developing new quality productive forces and deepening the integration of technology and the economy, injecting momentum into global sustainable development.

From November 5 to 10, the 7th China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). "The CIIE Commitment" is a commitment of friendship, cooperation and win-win. The Expo was planned, proposed, deployed and promoted by Chinese President Xi Jinping. It is a major decision of the Party Central Committee to promote high-level opening up in the new era. It is an important measure for China to actively open its market to the world. It is the world's first national exhibition with imports as the theme! The exhibition area of this CIIE exceeds 420,000 square meters, with 3,496 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions participating. The number of participating Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders in the country (region) reached 297, setting a historical high! Premier Li Qiang attend and deliver a speech; The Expo has six exhibition areas: 1. Food and agricultural products 2. Automobiles 3. Technology equipment 4. Consumer goods 5. Medical devices and medical care 6. Service trade! Expo address: No. 333, Songze Avenue, Qingpu District, Shanghai Bengbu Longhua Die Casting Machine Co., Ltd. November 5, 2024

Container selection is critical for safe and efficient die casting machine shipping in international trade. There are huge operational differences between 40ft open-top containers and regular containers for loading heavy industrial equipment like 500T die casting machines. The 40ft open-top container is the most ideal option for die casting machine loading. It only requires a driving crane to lift the die casting machine directly into the container, featuring high flexibility, simple operation and high safety. It effectively avoids equipment collision and abrasion during loading and unloading, perfectly suitable for large industrial die casting equipment export. In contrast, 40ft regular containers involve complicated and time-consuming loading procedures. Multiple auxiliary tools and equipment including steel plates, cranes, forklifts and jacks are required. Workers need to lay steel plates on the wooden container floor to reduce friction, then lift, push and adjust the heavy machine step by step. Finally, workers must use jacks to remove the recyclable steel sliding plates. Without professional steel plates, overseas buyers will face great difficulties in unloading. The die casting machine will directly rub against the wooden container floor, causing stuck equipment and potential damage. With years of export experience, we strongly recommend global customers to choose 40ft open-top containers for industrial machine export, ensuring convenient, safe and cost-effective transportation of die casting equipment.
