The first rays of morning light in 2026 shine upon the towering factory buildings and winding pipe corridors of the Pingdingshan Nylon New Materials Development Zone. Here, the very heart of China’s nylon industry is beating with powerful vitality, and Shenma Shares is one of its most vigorous pulses.

Looking back to November 24, 2025, the Second China Nylon Industry Development Conference opened in Pingdingshan. Shengma Shares unveiled five new products—high-quality adiponitrile developed entirely in-house, ultra-high-strength nylon 66 industrial filament, para-aramid, colored nylon 66 filament, and a variety of high-temperature nylon products—gaining unanimous praise from attending experts, scholars, and industry peers thanks to its outstanding technological prowess and superior product performance. Looking ahead, Shengma Shares will remain firmly committed to high-quality development, focus on reform and innovation, and leverage technological innovation to drive industrial upgrading, injecting powerful momentum into the rapid development of China’s nylon industry.

Solid innovation stems from systematic investment and well-established mechanisms. For a long time, Shenma Shares has placed scientific research and innovation at the heart of its strategy. Through multifaceted initiatives—including sustained R&D investment, strengthened platform development, and the active recruitment of talented individuals—Shenma has comprehensively solidified its innovation foundation. The company has established a clear guiding principle: "Salaries depend on research projects; bonuses depend on research outcomes." It has also built a diversified incentive system centered on material rewards, honorary recognition, and career development opportunities, thereby fully stimulating the initiative and creativity of its research personnel.

“Digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of production aren’t about following the latest trend—they represent a profound shift that’s critical to the development of our enterprise and the restructuring of our business model, aiming to help us achieve sustained breakthroughs on entirely new tracks,” said Zheng Zhanhui, Head of Digital Intelligence Management at Shenma Shares.

Since 2025, Shenma Shares has introduced various advanced equipment—such as intelligent inspection robots and rail-guided inspection robots—tailored to the specific production conditions of different units. At the curtain fabric company’s production site, a massive robotic arm precisely places spools of yarn from the tail end of the twisting machine onto an intelligent automated guided vehicle (AGV). The AGV then transports the stacks of yarn to the spinning workstation, where a robotic arm unpacks them. Subsequently, a rail-guided vehicle (RGV) moves the spools onto two-meter-high yarn racks. The entire process is highly efficient and seamless, with workers’ roles shifting from direct operation to on-site supervision and maintenance, significantly reducing labor intensity.

In November of the same year, Lianzi Cloth Company successfully completed the automated transformation of the process for transferring yarn from the direct-twisting machine onto the large yarn frame. Facing challenges such as limited factory space and difficulties in bringing in large-scale equipment, the company’s technical staff teamed up with the equipment manufacturer to tackle these obstacles head-on. The proposed solution underwent more than 30 rounds of optimization and adjustments, and the company even invited a leading international expert in automation to provide design guidance. Ultimately, the project was completed flawlessly. Following the transformation, equipment operating efficiency improved by 20%, and the time required to load yarn onto transport vehicles was dramatically reduced—from the original 6 to 7 hours down to just 1.5 hours. Taking this achievement as a starting point, the company is now moving toward its goal of building China’s first “dark factory” in the nylon industry. It is fully committed to advancing the automation and intelligent upgrading of all production processes, aiming to set a new benchmark for intelligent manufacturing in the industry.

“The company’s digital and intelligent transformation focuses on two key areas: First, accelerating the intelligent upgrade of equipment at the production end to reduce the workload on personnel and improve efficiency; second, deeply tapping into the core value of enterprise data by building an intelligent operations platform that drives comprehensive digital transformation and enhances management effectiveness and decision-making capabilities,” said Lou Yanwei, Director of the Operations and Finance Department at Shenma Shares.

In April 2024, Shenma Shares established a special task force and launched the construction of an intelligent operations platform, using Curtain Fabric Company, Curtain Fabric Development Company, and Engineering Plastics Technology Development Company as pilot units. By deploying data collection facilities, establishing seamless data transmission links, and optimizing data integration systems, the platform transforms massive amounts of production data into actionable business insights.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the platform will officially go live. It adopts a “daily cost and daily profit” accounting model, enabling managers to view in real time product specifications, customer information, inbound and outbound inventory data, as well as key metrics and trends such as sales volume and marginal contribution. This marks a shift from “periodic accounting” to “real-time control,” providing precise insights for cost management, production scheduling, and business decision-making.
