This allows us to provide personalized customization services.
Active Participation in Digital Exchange Activities to Gain Valuable Insights
To continually expand our perspective on digital transformation, we actively participate in various digital forums, conferences, and exhibitions. Through interactions with other companies and experts in the field, we have gained valuable insights.
In July 2022, during the 12th China Light Industry Informatization Conference, we actively engaged in seminars hosted by experts in the digital field. During these sessions, experts shared the latest trends and cutting-edge technologies in digital transformation. They presented application cases of technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing in digital transformation, as well as their outlook on future digital trends. This professional knowledge deepened our understanding of the significance and advancement of digital transformation. It reinforced our understanding of the profound meaning of "innovation is an endless journey," compelling us to stay at the forefront of technological development, continually innovating and upgrading our digital systems.
Furthermore, we have participated in numerous exhibitions such as the "Asia Digital Expo" and "Paris Home Digital Exhibition," which bring together a multitude of digital technologies and product applications. At these exhibitions, we've had the opportunity to experience the latest digital equipment and intelligent solutions firsthand. Through interactions with exhibitors, we've learned about successful application cases of digital products in other companies. These on-site observations and interactions have provided us with a more intuitive and in-depth understanding of the prospects of digital equipment applications, offering us more choices and insights for our digital transformation.
Through these exchange activities, we have also connected with pioneers of digital transformation from different industries. They are willing to share their experiences and lessons, guiding us through potential challenges that may arise during the digital transformation process. We've exchanged ideas on methods and strategies for problem-solving. These interactions have boosted our confidence, reinforcing our belief that we can navigate the path of digital transformation with greater stability and determination.
Current Challenges and Reflective Considerations
While we have achieved a series of successes in digital transformation, we also face several challenges and issues:
1. Digital transformation requires continuous investment and the determination and courage to persist over the long term.
Technology evolves rapidly, demanding that we keep pace with technological advancements to continuously optimize our digital systems to remain competitive.
2. Developing a digital product inspection line is challenging due to the diverse and non-standard nature of products, as well as the diversity of raw materials (from naturally grown wood). The research and development for inspection lines are complex and costly, while product profits remain low, making it unfeasible at present.The various systems have not yet achieved seamless integration.
In response to these challenges, we will rise to the occasion:
1. We will continue to increase investment in digital transformation to ensure that our digital systems and equipment remain at the forefront.
2. We will strengthen cooperation with research institutions and technology companies to introduce more advanced digital technologies.
3. We will increase our investment efforts and seek collaboration with relevant platforms to develop an ERP system that aligns with the characteristics of our company, enabling the integration of various systems.
Digital Transformation of the Factory as a Key Strategic Driver for Company Development
Through the improvement of organizational mechanisms, substantial financial investment, measures for digital transformation, comprehensive talent management, and collaborative supply chain management, we have achieved significant improvements in work efficiency. Active participation in various digital exchange activities has further expanded our horizons. However, digital transformation remains an ongoing process that requires continuous effort and innovation. We believe that digital transformation will continue to achieve tremendous success in the future.
