Holy Hong joins forces with a leading automation company to usher in a new chapter for smart water-based paint factories.

2026-01-13

Traditionally, the production of industrial water-based paints has long relied on the experience and intuition of seasoned craftsmen. Today, Holy Hong is committed to endowing factories with the ability to "think." Recently, Holy Hong reached a deep partnership with a leading domestic provider of automation solutions to jointly plan a major upgrade: Completely transform the existing water-based paint factory into a true “smart factory.” 。

This is not merely a simple addition of equipment; rather, it’s a systematic reconstruction—from the “foundation” to the “brain.”

I. Overall Delivery: Building a “Turnkey” Digital Factory

This collaboration is backed by a strong partner that boasts over 5,000 professional engineers and has served more than 35,000 enterprises cumulatively, making it a seasoned benchmark in the automation field. The core of the cooperation established between the two parties is: Rather than undertaking piecemeal renovations, we’re fully committed to delivering “turnkey projects.” 。

This means establishing seamless connectivity from the bottom layer all the way to the top layer:

Bottom layer Smart meters, automatic valves

Middle level Distributed Control System (DCS), Batch Management System (Batch)

Top floor Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Ultimately achieve end-to-end transparent management: from raw material flow and production progress to efficiency bottlenecks and detailed energy consumption—everything is fully under control. Completely break down “information silos” and let data drive the factory to operate efficiently.

II. Precise Problem-Solving: Leveraging Intelligence to Tackle Pain Points in the Water-Based Paint Industry

Industrial water-based paint production has long been known for its “small-batch, multi-variety, diverse colors, and frequent line changes.” This collaboration directly addresses these challenges:

Flexible production, exponentially boosted efficiency.
By leveraging advanced flexible batch control technology, multiple tasks can be processed simultaneously across different sections of the same production line. This significantly reduces changeover time and maximizes production efficiency.

Smart error prevention, an iron rule of quality.
We’ve introduced physical-level error-proofing mechanisms at critical stages such as material feeding—such as PDA scanning for confirmation and automatic valve interlocking. If the ambient temperature or humidity fails to meet the specified standards, the system will automatically prevent material feeding. We’re not challenging human nature; we’re simply eliminating the influence of luck on product quality.

Overcome stubborn ailments, ensure stable operation.
To address the industry challenge of high-viscosity materials easily clogging pipes and experiencing poor discharge flow at low temperatures, the solution integrates technologies such as electric trace heating and steam jackets, ensuring that the automated system can operate stably even under extreme conditions.

III. AI Empowerment: Installing a “Learning Brain” in Factories

Automation is the foundation; intelligence is the goal. Holy Hong is committed to enabling factories to have the ability to autonomously optimize and make decisions.

Intelligent Operations and Maintenance Establish an expert knowledge base (RCA) that leverages speech recognition and natural language processing technologies to codify fault-handling experience. When equipment malfunctions, employees can quickly seek guidance from an “AI expert,” which is expected to boost repair efficiency by 50%.

Process optimization The system continuously collects data on the environment, materials, and other factors. An AI model automatically learns from this data and fine-tunes process parameters, driving production away from reliance on experienced craftsmen’s expertise toward data-driven decision-making.

Lean energy consumption Implement a sophisticated energy consumption metering system with up to seven levels, precisely tracking the energy consumption of each piece of equipment, each batch, and each production process, thereby providing clear data support for green and low-carbon production.

IV. Efficient Advancement: Fully Accelerate Production Start-up in the First Half of the Year

The project has entered the high-speed implementation phase, with electrical instrument installation proceeding in parallel with the delivery and placement of hardware equipment. Clear objectives: Complete joint commissioning and testing between May and June of this year, and officially begin production. 。

To ensure the success of the project and build a talent pool, the partner will provide a dual training system—combining on-site training with a research and development base—to cultivate a group of professionals for Holy Hong. Proficient in water-based paint technology and also skilled in digital systems. The composite core backbone.

V. Unwavering Original Intent: Intelligence is the ultimate pursuit of exceptional quality.

Our push toward intelligentization is by no means driven by chasing buzzwords—it’s about returning to the essence of manufacturing: achieving greater... Stability , more Controllable , more Environmental protection , more Reliable Product quality.

This strategic partnership is not merely an upgrade of a single project; rather, it represents Holy Hong’s strategic positioning for the future production model. As water-based paint factories begin to “think,” the competitive landscape of the entire industry will also be refreshed accordingly.
