Intelligent manufacturing comes to Wuxi

Jiangsu Jinxiu Aluminum Co has recently agreed to cooperate with Citic Dicastal to establish an intelligent manufacturing project named Wuxi Dicastal Wheel in Wuxi's Huishan district.

The first-stage of construction was completed in October 2016 with a total investment of 688 million yuan ($101.48 million).

Compared to traditional workshops that require a great deal of manual operation, the new plant features an intelligent manufacturing system which reduces labor costs by half, while enhancing the precision and efficiency of production at the same time.
