As demographic dividends fade and labor costs rise, adoption of intelligent hardware and bigdata IT drives profound transformation across China’s traditional manufacturing sector, pushing "Made in China" toward "Smart Manufacturing in China".

Driven by maturing AI, IoT and robotics technologies, intraplant logistics for secondary and tertiarytier packaging manufacturers is undergoing revolutionary change across warehousing, production and transportation. Smart logistics effectively lower costs and raise profit margins for packaging factories, becoming a major growth engine for intraplantlogistics industries.

On June 1, Taiwan based Teng Sheng Technology Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Crown Way Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. held a strategic cooperation and joint R&D signing ceremony at Crown Way’s premises.

Xie Dong (Mainland Marketing Lead, Teng Sheng) and Qi Haoquan (General Manager, Crown Way) signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement on behalf of both parties. They reached key consensus on joint R&D and joint supply for whole plant logistics. The two sides will integrate intra plant logistics product portfolios, delivering comprehensive whole plant intelligent digital logistics solutions including paper roll logistics, cardboard logistics, robotic stacking systems, automatic pallet dispensers, automated high bay warehouses and smart logistics control software.

Per agreement, Teng Sheng and Crown Way will jointly research and innovate material handling and smart logistics technologies. Joint R&D will focus on intra plant warehousing, logistics and handling within paper packaging factories, together with digital factory development. R&D outputs will be shared. The cooperation enables unified planning and design covering paper roll receiving all the way through carton / printed product warehousing, logistics and handling, delivering truly smart, efficient and customized whole plant logistics experiences for end customers.

Qi Haoquan, General Manager of Crown Way, commented:

The whole plant logistics market sees severe product homogenization. Disappearing demographic dividends plus higher operational standards create challenges — yet also opportunities. Customers need smarter handling hardware to replace manual work in targeted workflows and cut operating expenses. Crown Way brings proven whole plant smart logistics solutions, layout planning expertise, R&D capabilities and advanced manufacturing know how. Teng Sheng is a respected expert in warehousing, stacking and material handling automation, with deep product design and digital construction experience plus stringent quality standards. This aligns perfectly with Crown Way’s focus on R&D, premium quality and high standards. This powerful partnership creates win win outcomes for both sides

"Crown Way intends to build a new intra plant logistics ecosystem together with Teng Sheng, accelerate factory transformation toward intelligence and digitalization, and bring premium smart manufacturing experiences to more customers."
