What Jimeng Intelligent does

Jimeng Intelligent (积梦智能) is a Shanghai-based industrial internet platform founded in 2017 that sells under the Lingfei Digital Factory (灵飞数字工厂 / LinkFactory) brand. The company delivers a cloud-based Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system combined with proprietary IoT hardware to growth-stage and SME manufacturers in China. Its core software platform integrates four functional modules: production management, material management, quality management, and equipment management, supported by an edge-hardware line that includes an entry-level and professional Data Acquisition Box with 5-channel PLC and Modbus RS485 support, an ARM/Linux IoT Edge Gateway aggregating up to 50 data acquisition terminals, an Industrial PC for shop-floor data capture, and a Signal Tower. The platform integrates with Bluetooth measurement devices for quality inspection and synchronizes inventory records with ERP financial systems, delivering end-to-end traceability and real-time production visibility.

The business model is a three-stream hybrid: (1) a pay-as-you-go cloud software subscription positioned at approximately one-third the cost of traditional MES software with multi-level customizable permissions and custom report development; (2) hardware sales of edge data acquisition and gateway devices; and (3) implementation services, structured around an unusually aggressive 4-week deployment SLA that contrasts sharply with conventional MES implementations. Documented customer outcomes include equipment utilization increases, statistically analyzed efficiency gains, delivery cycle compression from 60 to 30 days at a Ningbo pipe fittings factory, and on-time delivery improvements to near 100%. Named enterprise customers include SAIC Group (上汽集团), China Aerospace (中国航天), Shanghai Electric (上海电气), and Huafeng Group (华峰集团), with documented SME wins in hydraulic parts (Guyuan) and pipe fittings (Ningbo).

Jimeng Intelligent is privately held, headquartered in the Xuhui District of Shanghai at Caobao Road 103, and operates with 51-100 employees. Its founding team is drawn from Apple, Huawei, SAIC, Google, and Alibaba, with Li Huaiyu (李怀宇), CIO and MD of CMC Capital, serving as strategic advisor. The company has one disclosed funding event (February 2023) and more than 10 software copyright certifications. Operations remain concentrated in East China, and there is no public listing or external institutional control disclosed in the available material.
