A total of 332 projects in Haimen district in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province achieved digital transformation and intelligent upgrading in 2022.

This was largely due to the implementation of a series of measures rolled out by authorities, including integrating service provider resources, establishing a comprehensive service system and providing onsite services to enterprises.

Among those that have undergone this transformation is Tongguang Group Co Ltd.

Ding Guofeng, the general Manager of Tongguang, said that intelligent upgrading has greatly increased his company's operation efficiency, and the number of workers needed on the production lines has been reduced from seven to two.

He added that his company spends more than 5 million yuan ($727,038.47) every year to upgrade its production lines, and is expected to increase production capacity by more than 50 percent this year.

Last year, Zenith Steel Group Company Limited was recognized as a national demonstration intelligent factory, while two enterprises were listed as provincial demonstration intelligent factories, and eight enterprises received recognition for their intelligent workshops.

Authorities have also been holding promotional events to encourage enterprises to become cloud native. The district is currently home to 84 cloud-native enterprises.
