Jingdezhen ceramics industry embraces tech empowerment, innovation
Yishan Ceramics Co is deepening its digital transformation on the production front, boosting both efficiency and quality. Within its facilities, industrial assembly lines hum with precision, powered by digital systems overseeing every phase — a testament to technology's transformative role in traditional porcelain-making.
The company operates a fully automated cup production line that integrates forming, handle attachment, drying and demolding. With an hourly output of 1,200 pieces — roughly three to four times more efficient than manual crafting — it dramatically enhances mass-production capacity.
Digital upgrades extend to glazing and firing. Automated glazing equipment handles bisque-fired items, processing up to 1,400 pieces hourly while precisely controlling glaze thickness to prevent defects. A high-temperature tunnel kiln, operating continuously at 1,380°C, ensures consistent product quality through accurate temperature control, achieving a daily output of 30,000 pieces.
Digital management safeguards the entire workflow. Real-time data on output, yield rates and equipment performance are displayed on workshop screens, informing capacity planning, process refinement and maintenance — steadily steering ceramic production toward greater scale and standardization.
