Stepping into the production workshop of Guizhou Tyre Co's radial tire subsidiary in Zhazuo town, Xiuwen county, visitors are greeted with scenes of intelligent production.

In the finished product warehouse, logistics robots, gantry manipulators, and automatic stackers are busy dispatching orders based on the sequence provided by the sales system. They retrieve corresponding order specifications and quantities for loading during the stocking period.

This is Guizhou's first fully-connected 5G smart factory. By introducing intelligent automatic guided carts and a smart logistics system, wireless industrial interconnection and production scheduling have been achieved across all processes, significantly enhancing production efficiency. The factory's capacity has increased from an annual output of 2.2 million sets to 3 million sets.

Simultaneously, the factory has achieved green manufacturing and earned titles such as "National Green Factory" and "Demonstration Enterprise for Green Design of Industrial Products".

Tail gas from carbon black production is recycled for boiler combustion, which reduces coal consumption. Used tires are recycled and processed to produce recycled rubber for reuse, minimizing environmental pollution.

The company's product lineup includes tires for passenger vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, industrial vehicles, and special tires, totaling five major series. Thanks to their safety and durability, these products have gained favor in the market. They are now being exported to more than 130 countries and regions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.
