DALIAN, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Located at the Changxing Island Economic Zone of Dalian City, northeast China's Liaoning Province, Hengli Heavy Industries industrial park launched its "Ocean Factory," a green shipbuilding base, in early 2023. Its "Future Factory" was put into operation in early 2025, specializing in the manufacturing of high-value-added green vessels ranging from ultra-large oil tankers, ultra-large liquefied gas carriers to ultra-large container ships, alongside high-end marine engineering equipment.
At the industrial park, cutting-edge technologies such as welding robots, automated cutting, and dynamic automatic steel-plate marking are extensively deployed across the site. Numerous industrial data collection terminals have been installed throughout dry docks, workshops and quays. Leveraging advanced technologies such as industrial data acquisition, IoT sensing and on-site 5G private networks, the entire factory has realized digital capture of production-related factors as well as refined operational management.
