Recently, Chinese eight government agencies, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, released “the Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Machinery Industry (2025–2030).” This plan provides clear goals and policy support for digital transformation in the machinery sector and related fields.

As a fundamental industry in the national economy, the machinery industry plays a vital role in advancing new industrialization. Against the backdrop of the country's continued promotion of high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, Fujian—as a major manufacturing province—has witness many local companies grow by innovating under the “Digital Fujian” and “Smart Fujian”. Among them, Wecon—a national-level “Little Giant” enterprise recognized for being specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative—has developed a self-developed full-stack technology system and is becoming a key player in the smart manufacturing ecosystem.

As a key player in Fujian’s intelligent equipment industry, Wecon has developed a range of automation products, including:

· HMI (Human Machine Interface)

·  PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

· V-BOX intelligent gateway

· Servo drive systems

· VFD

The company has also built three specialized control systems:

1. Motion control

2. Vision control

3. Injection molding control

In addition, it has introduced two IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) platforms:

· V-NET (a public-cloud service)

· V-IEC (a private customized service)

These products and platforms are now widely used in:

· Equipment manufacturing

·  Printing and packaging

· Energy conservation and environmental protection

· New energy industry

They deliver efficient and reliable automation and digital solutions to customers.

Completed Technology System: Making Factories Smarter and More Efficient

How can a piece of fabric be cut and sewn into a quilt cover in just one minute?

How can crops receive timely irrigation in the field?

How can equipment at a remote hydropower station be monitored from far away?

Wecon technology can achieve all of these.

Wecon has built a complete technology system—from hardware to software, from on-site operations to remote management. It enables:

· Precise equipment control

· Intelligent data analysis

· Real-time remote monitoring

With this one-stop solution, AI and the industrial IoT truly come to life in factories, delivering efficient and reliable automation support across industries.

In industrial control, the PLC works like the “brain” of factory machines, making sure they run in the right order. With its complete technical system, Wecon now offers small, medium, and platform PLC. This allows Wecon to meet needs at every scale—from single machines and small workshops, to production lines and large manufacturing.

In August 2025, Wecon’s AC60 medium PLC was applied to Box-type Warehouse Robots at the smart warehouse center of a leading logistics company. With smart control, these robots handle different types of cargo boxes and manage the full process of storage, retrieval, and sorting. Compared with manual work, warehouse efficiency and accuracy have greatly improved. Picking mistakes and management gaps are much lower, making warehouse operations safer, faster, and smarter.

Seizing Smart Manufacturing Opportunities for Industrial Upgrading

As a technology-driven company in industrial automation, Wecon stays ahead of industry trends and adapts quickly to change. In recent years, the rapid rise of the new energy vehicle industry has not only driven manufacturing upgrades but also set higher standards for smart factories. In response, Wecon continues to innovate, empowering the growth of smart manufacturing.

In 2024, Wecon provided a full-process intelligent automation solution for the motor production line of a leading domestic carmaker. The line:

· Connects thousands of devices

· Enables real-time data collection and analysis

· Allows operators to monitor each step and adjust parameters at any time

This makes production transparent and controllable, greatly improving both capacity and product quality while ensuring safe and reliable operations. It also helps companies tackle the challenges of complex manufacturing.

Accessible Technology, Closer Service, Real Value for Customers

A client in agriculture shared this feedback:

“Our cooperation with Wecon began in 2021, when we were upgrading products and equipment. From day one, we found their products easy to use, user-friendly, and very stable. With both online and offline training, even non-specialists could get started quickly.”

The client also praised Wecon’s service:

“Their support team always responds quickly to solve equipment problems nationwide. For major projects, they send engineers on-site to ensure machines working.”

“Making Better Automation To Build Your Success.”

This is more than a slogan—it’s a value Wecon puts into action. By upgrading both technology and service, the company helps customers move forward in digital transformation and improve efficiency. Known for being easy to use, stable, and responsive, Wecon has earned trust as a long-term and reliable partner in smart manufacturing

Looking ahead, Wecon is accelerating innovation to deliver:

· Independently developed automation systems

· Smart and customized solutions for factories

Guided by the Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Machinery Industry, this national-level “Little Giant” enterprise is building a smart manufacturing ecosystem and setting new standards for China’s industrial control technology.
