Lenovo Wuhan Industrial Tour: Dive into the Lighthouse Factory and Immersively Explore the Path to Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade

The AI revolution gives rise to new possibilities for intelligent manufacturing. How can innovative ideas transform from "samples" in the laboratory to "standard products" on the production line and then become "essential items" in industrial scenarios? The answers lie in the front - line of the industry.

On January 19, 2026, the third season of Lenovo's "New Business Innovation Ecosystem Roadshow Season" in Wuhan's industrial sector was successfully held. Different from previous roadshows, this time, Lenovo directly moved the venue into the Lenovo Wuhan Industrial Base.

During the event, Lenovo's Innovation Accelerator led dozens of hard - tech entrepreneurs deep into the heart of the production line. Through the model of "immersive visits + in - depth sharing + supply - demand discussions", it not only demonstrated Lenovo's best practices in intelligent and green manufacturing but also directly connected the real industrial needs between industry benchmarks and entrepreneurs, enabling "mutual empowerment" to take root at the production front - line.

Deep into the Lighthouse Base, Scenario - based Empowerment Accelerates Innovation

The Lenovo Wuhan Industrial Base combines the dual honors of a "zero - carbon factory" and a "lighthouse factory". It is Lenovo's largest global manufacturing base for mobile intelligent terminals. Led by the guide, the entrepreneurs visited the core areas of the base, including the digital exhibition hall, the SMT workshop, and the assembly workshop in sequence.

Here, the entrepreneurs got in touch with the forefront of the global intelligent manufacturing revolution, felt the productivity improvement brought by AI at close range, and witnessed how the innovation blueprint was implemented in each process.

This trip to Wuhan was a crucial step for Lenovo's Ecosystem Roadshow Season to penetrate into the heart of the industry. In this season, "Lenovo Innovation Accelerator" doesn't stop at just holding events. Instead, by leveraging Lenovo's leading position as the "chain master" of the industry, it uses a precise empowerment system to deeply integrate Lenovo's entire industrial chain and global ecosystem resources, clearing the bottlenecks for small and medium - sized enterprises.

From the inspiration collision of product innovation to the technical verification in actual scenarios, and then to the market promotion of application implementation and large - scale commercialization, Lenovo Innovation Accelerator is helping small and medium - sized enterprises embrace the AI revolution, achieving precise empowerment and co - prosperity growth between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Decoding Intelligent Manufacturing, Lenovo Unveils without Reservation

During this event, Lenovo not only opened the physical doors of the factory but also, in the sharing session, through several front - line business representatives, opened the "cognitive door" of years of accumulation, sharing its strategic thinking and practical experience in intelligent manufacturing in the AI era.

Lenovo is comprehensively implementing a "one - body, multi - terminal" personal intelligence layout and is committed to continuous efforts in AI PC innovation, product form breakthroughs, and key technology solutions.Yang Zhimeng, the business development director of Lenovo Innovation Accelerator detailed Lenovo's internal "three - level R & D system": including the product division focusing on 1 - 2 - year implementation, the research institute responsible for 3 - 5 - year forward - looking exploration, and the venture capital system for long - cycle incubation. And "Lenovo Innovation Accelerator" is the core hub connecting this internal system with external innovation, aiming to fully open Lenovo's innovative product matrix, technological advantages, and global supply chain resources to startups, creating a platform that can help enterprises directly connect from "technical verification" to "commercial implementation".

Wu Can, the operation director of the Advanced Manufacturing Center of Lenovo Wuhan Industrial Base emphasized how to build a new digital form of intelligent manufacturing in Lenovo Wuhan Factory by combining vertically and horizontally with the digital space and Luban Intelligent Agent as carriers on the solid digital foundation. Specifically, vertically build the "AI Master", fully develop the historical data, business knowledge, and experience accumulated in the informatization of various fields, and empower with AI technology to finally form a professional intelligent agent with business intelligence and autonomous decision - making ability. Horizontally construct the digital space, remove organizational and system barriers, allowing business capabilities to be freely combined and business data to be infinitely interconnected. Build a new - generation collaborative platform centered on people and with customer value as the core.

Zhu Junzhao, the senior manager of the intelligent device solution business group of Lianbao Technology shared the practical experience of Lianbao, as "Lenovo's largest global PC R & D and manufacturing base". Currently, Lianbao Technology has become a full - stack intelligent manufacturing solution service provider. Lianbao Technology's whole - factory and whole - line solutions, intelligent equipment solutions, and digital solutions can be easily accessed and flexibly customized.

Peng Wei, the KAPM minister of the NB product department of TCL CSOT, and Yin Long, the team leader of the intelligent manufacturing group of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, as important partners of Lenovo also emphasized sharing the experience and achievements of TCL CSOT's intelligent manufacturing transformation, demonstrating the advanced path of AI digital employees from Copilot (assistant) to Agent (intelligent agent), providing a valuable "CSOT sample" for collaborative innovation between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Win at the Front - line, Innovation Inspiration Meets Industrial Practice

If the visit and sharing session is to break the cognitive barrier, then the discussion and exchange session is to break the business barrier. Now, nearly 20 representatives of startup enterprises had co - creation exchanges with Lenovo. Entrepreneurs in the advanced manufacturing industry hope to build development advantages by relying on the intelligent manufacturing scenarios, resilient supply chain system, and lighthouse factory management experience provided by Lenovo as the "chain master".

The cooperation expectations of the participating enterprises towards Lenovo mainly focus on areas such as technical verification, supply chain management, and global market growth. They hope to leverage the potential of the chain master to solve the pain points of survival and development. Front - line business problems such as the "high cost and difficulty" of the AI revolution, the "yield bottleneck" in precision manufacturing, and the "unstable model change" in multi - variety and small - batch production have also become hot topics in the on - site exchange.

Enterprises in fields such as robotics, visual inspection, and industrial AI are eager to access Lenovo's real production line environment for PoC (Proof of Concept), obtain high - quality industrial data to train algorithms, and let the technology take root at the production front - line.

Lenovo's experience output in supply chain management, refined production scheduling, and cost reduction and efficiency improvement has also been favored by entrepreneurs new to hardware and traditional factories hoping to transform. Some enterprises even hope to disassemble and reuse Lenovo's management modules in their own factories.

During the exchange, the enterprises present expressed their strong desire to integrate into Lenovo's ecosystem. Entrepreneurs hope to embed their hardware or software products into Lenovo's global product system for integrated sales and seek all - around support in product development, channel collaboration, and subsequent financing.

Tong Yanjun, the product director of Yibo Intelligence Robotics said after the event: "This event not only provided strategic guidance but also had practical implementation docking. Lenovo very carefully showed us its development history and internal know - how. This opportunity is really rare."

Wang Yu, the financing manager of Jiuyao Optoelectronics praised the event form: "This kind of event is great. It's not a one - way output where someone speaks on the stage and others just sit and listen. The exchange is all - around, and this face - to - face collision can really promote substantial cooperation between the upstream and downstream."

Zhang Guoqing from Zhisen Investment expressed his expectations from an investor's perspective: "I hope this kind of event can become a regular thing, allowing more entrepreneurs to have in - depth exchanges and resource docking with Lenovo according to different sub - fields."

From "pulling along" to "running together", Lenovo is proving with practical actions that real ecosystem empowerment is not simply injecting funds but opening up the most core scenarios and clearing the most critical bottlenecks, allowing innovative technologies to blossom and bear fruit in the industrial soil. By opening its ten - thousand - employee factory as a verification field and outputting a management system verified by hundreds of billions of output value, Lenovo enables small and medium - sized enterprises to stand on the shoulders of giants and complete the development leap in the AI era with lower trial - and - error costs.

When the "system tree" of large enterprises intertwines with the "innovation seedlings" of entrepreneurs, a new intelligent manufacturing ecosystem that supports each other and grows resiliently is taking shape. This is not only the vision of Lenovo Innovation Accelerator but also the inevitable path for Chinese manufacturing to move towards the high - end of the global value chain.

In the future, Lenovo will continue to be rooted in the front - line, turn the "lighthouse factory" into an incubator for entrepreneurs, and continuously open up the most real production scenarios and supply chain data, so that every hardcore innovative idea can find the certainty to take root and germinate in the soil of the global supply chain.
