Beijing printing companies are vigorously promoting smart digital transformation and upgrading.
The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology recently released the "Beijing Manufacturing Industry Digital Transformation
Implementation Plan (2024-2026)." Clear regulations have been made regarding the printing industry: the CNC rate of key processes should reach 55%, the networking rate of production equipment should reach 19.63%, the digitalization rate of management should reach 67.5%, and the coverage rate of digital R&D design tools should reach 75.2%. Beijing printing companies have been vigorously promoting smart digital transformation and upgrading.
It is reported that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Beijing plans to allocate a budget of 40 million yuan to establish a special fund for high-quality development of publishing and printing enterprises, supporting the digitalization, greenization, intensification, and connotative upgrading development of enterprises. In 2023, 22 printing service key guarantee enterprises were re-identified, completing more than 6,000 types and about 550 million copies of key guaranteed publications throughout the year; environmental governance performance rating of printing service enterprises was conducted, with 12 A-level enterprises and 21 B-level enterprises rated, a 71% increase in A-level enterprises compared to 2022; the total main business income of printing enterprises in the city exceeded 24 billion yuan, with 2 enterprises selected as the first batch of national printing demonstration enterprises, 5 printing enterprises rated as green factory demonstration enterprises by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and 4 printing enterprises rated as intelligent factories or digital workshops by the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology. For three consecutive years, the printing quality and environmental quality of Beijing enterprise printing have remained at a high level. In the "3·15" quality inspection variety, the printing quality exceeded 98%, and the environmental quality was 100%.
The "Digital Transformation Implementation Plan" shows that Beijing will cultivate and select intelligent factories and digital workshops in Beijing, cultivate a group of intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and excellent scenes, set up a number of typical benchmarks for digital transformation, and form replicable and promotable "Beijing Intelligent Manufacturing" new experiences and models.
Currently, there are four printing companies in Beijing that have entered this group. As one of the first batch of national printing demonstration enterprises selected, Beijing Shengtong Printing Co., Ltd. has utilized advanced technologies such as mobile Internet, big data, and cloud computing. Since 2015, it has launched the publication service cloud platform and continuously polished and upgraded it. It has now connected customers, suppliers, related companies, publishers, and its own intelligent production center, realizing information sharing in production, sales, and supply, forming an efficient and collaborative digital service circle, running at an information acceleration rate, and has been successively awarded "Intelligent Manufacturing Benchmark Enterprise - Intelligent Factory" and "Lean Printing Intelligent Factory" in Beijing.
Beijing Jianhong Printing Co., Ltd., which was awarded the honor of "Digital Workshop for On-demand Printing of Publications," has information technology and on-demand printing as its core. It independently developed the "Zhongtu Print Cloud" platform and successfully incubated a new retail model mechanism integrating functions such as digital resource hosting and intelligent printing services, promoting efficiency improvement and cost reduction. The newly selected guarantee enterprise, Beijing Jiexun Jiacai Printing Co., Ltd., has also performed well in the field of on-demand printing. In 2022, it took the lead in introducing the first domestic Fangzheng Jieying P5600CHD high-definition color inkjet rotary digital printing machine, deepening its exploration of a new path featuring on-demand production to promote energy conservation and emission reduction, reduce inventory, and expand diversified profit models.
In addition, Beijing Yachang Art Printing Co., Ltd.'s POD intelligent manufacturing digital workshop, Beijing Dingjia Century Printing Co., Ltd.'s integrated digital workshop for printing, binding, and distribution have also made it to the list of digital workshops in the past two years.
Next, Beijing printing companies will accelerate the construction pace of digital workshops and intelligent factories, increase efforts in the training of skilled personnel, and fully build a high-quality capacity supply, technically advanced and safe, green integrated and open industrial system.
