Central China's first electric digital smart manufacturing center, developed by Hubei Changjiang Electric Co, was launched on July 3 in Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone (Optics Valley of China) in Central China's Hubei province. 

Boasting an output 1.5 times greater than the previous one, the new automatic production line also shortens the production cycle of its intelligent high and low-voltage equipment by 50 percent, and only requires half the number of workers that the old production line needed.

Zhang Zuodun, president of Changjiang Electric Intelligent Manufacturing Construction Co, introduced the automatic production line, hailing it as the most high-end, advanced and intelligent in the whole industry. Representing the growing capabilities of the electrical industry, the all-automatic configuration can not only raise workers' efficiency to a large degree, but also improve their working environment. 

The flexible production line is a technically sophisticated and highly automatic system that applies technologies in areas like microelectronics, computer science and systems engineering. 

The Changjiang electric digital smart manufacturing center possesses a flexible production line that mainly consists of an automatic processing system, a logistics system, an information system and a software system, with the automatic processing system being the "heart" of the whole production line. 

Moving forward, the company will bring in intelligent assembly lines, and achieve assembly automation by employing standardized approaches and industrial robots.
