Sichuan Chengdu Smart Factory Project

Located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, this Smart Factory Project leverages a comprehensive suite of AI-powered video analytics from Fuwee to dramatically enhance workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Below is an overview of the project background, key AI functionalities, and the results achieved.

Project Background

With the rapid development of Industry 4.0, intelligent manufacturing has become a defining trend in modern industrial transformation. The Chengdu Smart Factory Project was launched to accelerate this transition by integrating advanced AI technologies into daily operations—aiming to elevate automation, improve safety performance, and optimize overall production efficiency.

AI Capabilities Implemented

1. Smoke & Fire Detection

Using HD surveillance cameras and AI-driven image analysis, the system continuously monitors factory environments for smoke or open flames. Once an abnormality is detected, the system instantly triggers alerts to prevent potential hazards.

2. Safety Helmet Detection

The AI system monitors workers in real time to ensure they are wearing required safety helmets, helping enforce essential safety protocols across production zones.

3. Uniform (Workwear) Compliance Detection

By identifying whether workers are wearing the correct work uniforms, the system strengthens workplace standardization and ensures that staff comply with safety dress codes.

4. Smoking Detection

In designated no-smoking areas, AI algorithms automatically detect smoking behaviors, reducing fire risks and ensuring strict adherence to factory safety regulations.

5. Sleeping / Absent-from-Post Detection

Through behavior monitoring analytics, the system identifies sleeping or unauthorized absence at critical posts to ensure stable and reliable production operations.

6. Intrusion Detection

AI intrusion detection monitors restricted areas and immediately alerts security personnel when unauthorized individuals enter, enhancing the factory’s overall security level.

Project Outcomes

The implementation of the Chengdu Smart Factory Project has generated substantial benefits:

• Significant improvement in safety management, with real-time alerts reducing accident risk.

• Higher production efficiency, enabled by automated monitoring and reduced manual oversight.

• Enhanced compliance and worker safety awareness, thanks to continuous visual monitoring.

• Better operational stability, as AI ensures that key positions and zones remain properly supervised.

These AI functions have collectively lowered incident rates and reinforced the factory’s digital transformation strategy.

Conclusion

The Sichuan Chengdu Smart Factory Project highlights the transformative potential of AI in modern manufacturing. As AI technologies continue to develop, smart factories will become a driving force for industrial innovation—delivering safer, more efficient, and more intelligent production environments.
