Recently, the exclusive smart manufacturing base of Guangdong Shilifang New Material Technology Co., Ltd., located in Jinyang Industrial Zone, Boluo, Huizhou, completed an all-line intelligent transformation, increasing overall capacity by 30%, completely resolving market order delivery pressure, and building a solid production foundation for supplying engineered quartz stone to the home decoration and engineering markets.

As a smart manufacturer deeply engaged in the entire quartz stone industry chain, Shilifang's upgrade covers the entire production process of raw material sorting, automatic batching, high-pressure pressing, soft-gloss polishing, and finished product inspection. Before the transformation, some processes of the company's multiple production lines relied on manual assistance, with pain points such as capacity ceilings and quality control fluctuations. This upgrade invested in intelligent robotic arms, fully automatic material distribution systems, and digital online inspection instruments, realizing unmanned control of the entire chain from quartz raw material warehousing to finished slab delivery. The daily output of a single production line has increased significantly, and the stability of large-scale production has been greatly enhanced.

Relying on its in-house equipment R&D team, Shilifang's upgrade did not rely on external complete equipment sets. All production line transformation plans and automated supporting equipment were independently developed, which not only reduces long-term equipment procurement and maintenance costs but also allows flexible adjustment of production processes according to product patterns. For popular soft-gloss series slabs such as Fish Belly White, Imperial White, and Jazz Gray, the new polishing module optimizes the matte soft-gloss process, making the surface reflectivity precisely controllable and solving the industry's common problems of harsh glare and stiff texture in traditional quartz stone.

At the quality control level, the digital inspection system captures slab particle distribution, grain uniformity, and density data in real time. Unqualified products are automatically diverted, preventing defective slabs from entering the market. After the upgrade, the plant also improved the circulating dust removal and wastewater recovery environmental protection systems, achieving 100% recycling and reuse of production solid waste, in line with green building material production standards.

Currently, the base can stably supply eleven series of quartz stone products, covering home decoration kitchen and bathroom countertops, whole-house wall and floor integration for villas, star-rated hotels, commercial complexes, and other engineering scenarios. With increased capacity, the company can undertake large-scale engineering procurement orders while shortening delivery cycles for customized home decoration slabs. Shilifang's management stated that the next step is to rely on the upgraded smart manufacturing base to increase R&D on new low-radiation environmentally friendly quartz stone formulas, while opening up factory construction guidance and equipment technology output services to help the industry's intelligent transformation.
