Kangping Bio Recognised as "Heilongjiang Provincial Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshop"

Heilongjiang Kangping Bioengineering Co., Ltd. has been recognised as a “Heilongjiang Provincial Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshop.” This honour was formally conferred by the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology in 2022.

Policy Background

Digital workshop construction is a key lever for the national implementation of the intelligent manufacturing initiative and promotion of manufacturing digital transformation. In 2015, the State Council issued “Made in China 2025,” establishing intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, explicitly calling for “taking intelligent manufacturing as the main direction and accelerating industrial internet innovation and development.” In 2017, MIIT issued the “Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2025),” listing digital workshop and smart factory construction as key tasks for intelligent manufacturing.

To implement the manufacturing powerhouse strategy, the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Heilongjiang Provincial Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshop Recognition and Management Measures (Trial)” (Hei Gongxin Guihua Guifa [2017] No. 12) in 2017, promoting intelligent upgrade across the province’s manufacturing sector, accelerating the construction of “digital (smart) workshops,” selecting and cultivating benchmark enterprises in the intelligent manufacturing field, and leading manufacturing transformation. In 2025, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology revised the recognition measures, issuing the “Heilongjiang Provincial Digital Workshop Recognition and Management Measures,” dividing digital workshops into two tiers: “Basic Level” and “Advanced Level.” Among them, Advanced Level digital workshops are demonstration benchmarks that have completed full-process digital transformation and information system integration applications, achieving real-time collection and visual management of production data, and forming intelligent breakthroughs in critical links such as intelligent production scheduling, quality traceability, and predictive equipment maintenance. Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshops recognised by Heilongjiang Province in 2024 and earlier are all regarded as Advanced Level digital workshops.

From the recognition criteria perspective, digital (smart) demonstration workshops must meet corresponding indicator requirements in dimensions including production equipment intelligence, production process automation, data interconnectivity, and product information traceability. Specific requirements include: the proportion of intelligent equipment units (sets) to total workshop equipment units (sets) shall not be less than 70%; establishment of workshop-level industrial communication networks and real-time database platforms, achieving on-site data visualisation, information sharing, and optimised management based on the industrial internet; adoption of intelligent quality inspection equipment at critical processes, enabling online automatic inspection, alarming, and diagnostic analysis of product quality; and establishment of product data information management systems, achieving full-process traceability of products.

In terms of policy support, according to the “Heilongjiang Provincial Several Policy Measures for Promoting Industrial Revitalisation,” for digital workshops and smart factories recognised at the provincial level, a one-time subsidy of 10% of the project contract amount (including equipment investment and digital construction costs such as industrial software procurement) is provided, with a maximum subsidy of 2 million RMB for digital workshops and 10 million RMB for smart factories.

From an industry trend perspective, the digital workshop is the first step towards a smart factory and an important foundation for intelligent manufacturing. A digital workshop takes the process and equipment required by the production object as its basis, uses information technology, automation, and measurement and control technology as means, connects different workshop units with data, and plans, manages, diagnoses, and optimises production operation processes. Against the backdrop of intensifying global manufacturing competition and the increasing importance of supply chain security, digital workshop construction has become an essential path for manufacturing enterprises to enhance production efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality, and strengthen market competitiveness.

Kangping Bio’s Digital Workshop Construction Practice

The company is equipped with two advanced intelligent production lines for freeze-dried bovine colostrum powder, achieving comprehensive automation control and digital management. The company can precisely control parameters at every production stage, effectively ensuring the stability of process conditions for each batch of products, while achieving comprehensive recording and full traceability of production data. With its mature digital production model, the production workshop was successfully recognised as a “Heilongjiang Provincial Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshop” and also passed the authoritative certification of the “Integrated Management System of Informatization and Industrialization.”

Significance of the Recognition

The recognition of the bovine colostrum workshop as a “Heilongjiang Provincial Digital (Smart) Demonstration Workshop” marks that Kangping Bio’s intelligent manufacturing level in the freeze-dried bovine colostrum powder production field has reached provincial advanced standards. The company will continue to promote the deep application of digital workshop construction achievements, further optimising automated control of production processes, data interconnectivity, and quality traceability systems, setting a benchmark example for the intelligent transformation and upgrade of the bovine colostrum biological products industry.
