Jingye Steel has successfully obtained Level 4 certification in the National Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Assessment.

On July 1, 2026, Jingye Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. officially achieved national certification for Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity ( CMMM ) Assessment for Level 4 (Optimized) certification. This not only serves as an authoritative validation of Jingye Steel’s level of intelligent manufacturing but also marks its entry into the forefront of China’s smart manufacturing sector—Level 4 “Optimized” is among the highest tiers that domestic enterprises can realistically attain (with no certified companies yet at the top-tier “Leading” Level 5), and nationwide, only 11 steel companies have achieved this certification.

This assessment was conducted in strict accordance with GB/T 39116-2020 “ Smart Manufacturing Capability Maturity Model The two national standards, GB/T 39117-2020 “Method for Assessing the Maturity of Intelligent Manufacturing Capabilities,” have been implemented by nationally accredited, authoritative assessment bodies, covering the four key capability dimensions of people, technology, resources, and manufacturing. The Level 4 “Optimization” tier requires enterprises to possess model‑based, data‑driven predictive and optimization capabilities, enabling deep cross‑functional and cross‑process collaboration and continuous improvement—representing a critical leap as intelligent manufacturing evolves from “integration” to “leadership.” Obtaining this certification signifies that Jingye Steel’s intelligent manufacturing system has reached a domestically leading level.

5G+ Intelligent Overhead Crane

In recent years, Jingye Steel has been fully committed to intelligent transformation, guided by the core principles of “end-to-end intelligent upgrading, seamless data integration across all elements, and green transformation of the entire value chain.” By deeply integrating cutting-edge technologies such as the Industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, and 5G, the company has established an intelligent control system that covers every stage of production and operations. This has enabled horizontal connectivity among 22 digital systems and vertical end-to-end integration, while more than 70 3D‑based automated workstations have replaced manual labor. In the ironmaking process, the company has independently developed a blast furnace expert system and an intelligent hot blast stove combustion model, dynamically decoding the “black box” of blast furnace operations. These innovations have boosted combustion efficiency by 8% and reduced energy consumption by 5%, ensuring stable molten iron quality. In steelmaking, a converter alloy‑addition model has been deployed to accurately predict alloy dosing, enabling precise process control. In the rolling mill segment, the plant is equipped with ultra‑fast cooling systems, powerful pre‑straightening machines, and high‑precision nondestructive testing equipment, and has undertaken the development of… Slab mold The steel‑leakage early‑warning system achieves a 97% accuracy rate, eliminates all incidents of adherent steel leakage, and ensures precise control over the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of finished products, thereby providing a robust guarantee for the stable production of high‑end offerings.

Leveraging its cutting-edge intelligent manufacturing capabilities, Jingye Steel was included on Hebei Province’s first list of Advanced Intelligent Factories on June 19, 2025, and was subsequently recognized as a National-Level Outstanding Intelligent Factory for 2025 on September 4 of the same year.

This achievement of CMMM Level 4 certification not only underscores the continued, authoritative recognition of Jingye Steel’s progress in intelligent manufacturing but also lays a solid foundation for further elevating its level of digitalization and striving to attain “leading‑edge” status. Standing at this new starting point, Jingye Steel will steadfastly advance deep integration of digital and intelligent technologies, leveraging data-driven approaches and AI‑enabled capabilities to propel steel production toward high‑end, intelligent transformation, thereby contributing to the high‑quality development of the steel industry. Greater strength.
