What Huashu Jinming does

Huashu Jinming (华数锦明), legally Changzhou Huashu Jinming Intelligent Equipment Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., is a Chinese national high-tech enterprise that engineers turnkey intelligent manufacturing solutions for new-energy-vehicle, battery, automotive, consumer-goods, 3C, and photovoltaic manufacturers. Its commercial activity is organized into four business divisions: Assembly (battery module and PACK production lines plus aluminum lightweight vehicle body equipment), Packaging & Logistics (robotic palletizing, automatic warehouses, and factory-level logistics), Software (MES, WMS, WCS, machine vision, big-data analytics, Product Control Center, and an AI Agent OS), and Platform Support (simulation and standardization). Core technology combines proprietary six-axis serial-joint and three/four-axis parallel industrial robots, laser welding with vibration lens, friction-stir and CMT welding, AGV/RGV logistics, computer vision, and digital-twin simulation, integrated through self-developed software that connects to ERP and SAP platforms.

The company sells custom-built production lines and software systems on a project basis to enterprise OEMs and battery manufacturers, with quotes scoped per configuration and supplemented by after-sales service from wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hungary and Japan and service centers in France, the UK, and Southeast Asia. Cumulative overseas sales have exceeded CNY 1.3 billion, with line deliveries to the USA, Germany, France, the UK, Romania, Japan, Malaysia, and Türkiye. Domestic manufacturing spans Changzhou (headquarters, with Phase 2 commissioned in 2024) and Wuhan (Hubei Huajin Intelligent Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.), combining for over 110,000 m² of floor space capable of approximately 20 parallel large-scale battery module, PACK, and CTP line assemblies. As of December 2024 the company held 68 national patents and 17 software copyrights.

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward Chinese battery and EV majors such as CATL and BYD, alongside international OEMs including Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault, and consumer-goods buyers such as PepsiCo, Mars, and Glico. Revenue recognition is lumpy and equipment-cycle-driven; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is engineered per customer specification with international safety certifications (CE, UKCA, JIS). HSJM operates as a private company led by General Manager Shen Can (申灿), with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and was recognized in 2023 as a National Specialized and Innovative Little Giant Enterprise.
