2026 — Smart Factory Commissioned, Efficiency Up 300%
In 2026 Hengsheng commissioned its smart factory, lifting production efficiency by 300%. Smart scheduling, automated machining and quality traceability are wired into one monitored line, so the dimensions, tolerances and sheen of every batch can be tracked and verified.
Core Strengths
- Efficiency step change: 300% higher efficiency after commissioning, giving large orders far more lead-time flexibility.
- Smart scheduling: scheduling and traceability make the dimensions, tolerances and sheen of each batch trackable and verifiable.
- Precision machining: five-axis CNC holds ±0.05mm, forming complex profiles and three-dimensional elements accurately.
- Capacity: the largest base outputs up to 3,600㎡ a day, able to take large-area project orders.
Key Figures
Service Process
- Drawing intake: import fabrication drawings or a three-dimensional model into the scheduling system.
- Smart scheduling: the system optimises scheduling and cutting by slab size, veining and lead time.
- Precision machining: five-axis CNC and automated lines cut, form and finish.
- In-line testing: process and dispatch test data recorded live and bound to the batch number.
- Numbered dispatch: packed in installation sequence and shipped with test records.
Applications
- Batch production of cut-to-size for large projects
- Precision forming of complex and three-dimensional stone elements
- Prefabricated build-ups demanding tight tolerances
- Urgent orders and top-up production under time pressure
Sustainability & Certification
Smart scheduling and cutting optimisation raise yield and cut raw material per square metre; processing waste utilisation exceeds 85%, with offcuts sorted into mosaic and inlay.
The line runs at 95% water recirculation under an ISO 50001 energy management system, so energy and water per unit of output keep falling.
Deep Selection Guide
The biggest change a smart factory brings is controlled tolerance. Where a project involves prefabricated build-ups, complex elements or strict bookmatching, machining accuracy decides whether the site installs smoothly. Confirm the fabricator's equipment capability and tolerance standard, not just the stone. In practice, supply three-dimensional models or complete drawings for complex elements and fix tolerances and test method in the contract. For large areas of cut-to-size, confirm daily capacity and the staged release plan so scheduling does not put site milestones at risk.
- Selection criteria:When deciding what stone Batch production of cut-to-size for large projects needs, Efficiency step change is the decisive factor; once that is settled the rest of the selection has a baseline.
- Specification & thickness:Control dimension by Smart plant commissioning (2026) and set the thickness allowance by Precision forming of complex and three-dimensional stone elements; junctions and corners should be marked on the drawing before work starts.
- Acceptance & records:Acceptance centres on Smart scheduling: checked before dispatch, re-checked on site, and filed by batch so the record can be retrieved later.
- Sustainability:Smart scheduling and cutting optimisation raise yield and cut raw material per square metre; processing waste utilisation exceeds 85%, with offcuts sorted into mosaic and inlay. This must appear in the acceptance documents and be aligned with local environmental and green material rules.
The Hengsheng advantage on 2026 — Smart Factory Commissioned, Efficiency Up 300% is quality control pushed forward into selection and fabrication, closed out with complete test and delivery records the project team can rely on.
FAQ
- What does 300% efficiency mean for a client?
- Lead-time flexibility and urgent-order response: the same capacity absorbs a tighter programme, and top-ups after design changes can be scheduled far faster.
- Does a smart factory mean more consistent quality?
- Yes. Scheduling and traceability bind dimensional, tolerance and sheen data to the batch number in real time, so deviation is caught early and the factory pass rate stays above 99.7%.
