　　Zhang Yan first introduced the company profile, engineering achievements, and technological innovations, especially the development of intelligent manufacturing technology, to the guests. Professors Yang Runyu, Zhu Haiping, Wang Bo, Dr. Hou Qinfu, and Professor Xiong Shixian respectively introduced their research progress and fruitful achievements in related fields. The experts enthusiastically visited the process design institute and intelligent manufacturing laboratory of Nanjing Kaisheng, showing strong interest in the company's independently developed expert optimization system, production management system, and other industry-leading intelligent manufacturing technologies.

　　General Manager Feng Jianhua delivered a welcome speech, expressing his warm welcome to Academician Yu Aibing and his team for traveling from all over the world to Nanjing Kaisheng. He reviewed the cooperation history between the Process Institute of Jiangsu Provincial Industrial Technology Research Institute and Nanjing Kaisheng, and introduced Nanjing Kaisheng's achievements in the research and development and promotion of new technologies, new equipment, and intelligent manufacturing technologies in the building materials industry. He hoped to strengthen the complementary advantages of both sides with the Process Institute of Jiangsu Provincial Industrial Technology Research Institute, conduct comprehensive cooperation in the field of building materials industrial processes, and promote the intelligent manufacturing technology of the building materials industry and even other industries to a new stage of development.

　　Academician Yu Aibing stated that Nanjing Kaisheng is in a leading position in the field of intelligent manufacturing technology in the building materials industry, has carried out a large amount of fruitful work in cement industrial design, industrial process control, and optimization, and has mastered a wealth of cement industrial process data in practice. The Process Institute of Jiangsu Provincial Industrial Technology Research Institute has conducted in-depth research in advanced computational particle technology, high-performance computing and control platforms, intelligent industrial process information, process intensification and innovation, and has achieved remarkable results. This cooperation is the first time that the Process Institute of Jiangsu Provincial Industrial Technology Research Institute has cooperated with the industry. The signing of the strategic cooperation agreement marks the beginning of a new model of Sino-foreign cooperation, industry-academia-research cooperation, and multi-regional cooperation in the field of intelligent manufacturing in the building materials industry. Based on the signing of this strategic cooperation agreement and the establishment of the "Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Manufacturing of Building Materials," both parties will continuously expand the scope of cooperation, jointly promote the continuous improvement of technology in the building materials industry and other industrial fields, and make due contributions to the construction of efficient, low-consumption, and low-pollution green manufacturing.

　　Academician Yu Aibing and General Manager Feng Jianhua signed the strategic cooperation framework agreement on behalf of both parties and jointly unveiled the "Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Manufacturing of Building Materials."
