Leading Chinese LCD panel maker CVTE has intensified its efforts to go digital as Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) accelerate their digital transformation.

CVTE, headquartered in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, has been manufacturing LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) mainboards, intelligent interactive panels, medical devices, and other hardware since its establishment in 2005.
The company has launched a newly developed digital platform featuring its internet-connected automated optical inspection devices, which conduct quality inspections on each product and provide real-time quality inspection data.
"There are 70 such internet-connected devices in this workshop, which collect millions of production data every day, providing a basis for production decisions in a fast and accurate manner," said Zhang Feng, head of the component factory of CVTE's intelligent manufacturing base.
With intelligent internet-connected equipment and digital platforms, CVTE also provides solutions for the upstream and downstream data flow of the industry, improving the production efficiency of the industrial chain.
"In addition to the production process, we are also carrying out digital transformation in supply and delivery coordination and driving more small and medium-sized enterprises in the chain to transform together, helping them reduce costs and increase efficiency," said Zhang.
As of now, China has selected three batches of 101 pilot cities to support more than 40,000 SMEs in implementing the digital transformation, and nearly 3,000 of them have completed this transformation.
"Taking the digital transformation of SMEs in pilot cities as a leverage, we will promote SMEs smart, digital and internet-connected in a classified and phased manner, innovate our policy measures, optimize our services, support SMEs' artificial intelligence entrepreneurship, and promote the digital transformation and high-quality development of China's SMEs in a systematic and in-depth manner," said Jia Hongwei, deputy director of the Department of Small and Medium Enterprises under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Data show that China has selected and cultivated more than 3,500 digital service providers and created more than 10,000 digital products characterized as "small, fast, light, and accurate."
