Textile workshops rely on air-conditioning fans to regulate temperature and humidity, purify the air and keep spaces ventilated. Traditional fans depend heavily on manual adjustment, which makes control imprecise and equipment failures hard to predict, People's Daily reported in January 2026.
Shandong Jinxin Air Conditioning Group, a maker of textile air-conditioning and dust-removal equipment based in Wucheng County, Dezhou, Shandong Province, addressed this using the Inspur Yunzhou Industrial Internet Platform. "By using Inspur Yunzhou Industrial Internet Platform, we installed multiple types of sensors on traditional fans to collect and train data, and developed digital-intelligent fans," said Wu Zicai, the group's chairman.
According to Wu, the resulting digital-intelligent fans optimise parameters such as air volume in real time based on operating conditions, control workshop temperature and humidity precisely, and reduce equipment maintenance cycles by 40 percent. The figure comes from the company's chairman and was not independently measured in the article, which gives no further detail on the models or data used.
The example appeared in coverage of a work plan released on 7 January 2026 by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments to deepen the integration of manufacturing and AI. The plan sets out seven priority areas and 21 measures, and calls for applying three to five general-purpose large models in manufacturing, launching 1,000 high-level industrial intelligent agents, building 100 high-quality industrial data sets and promoting 500 typical application scenarios.
