China News Service, Chongqing, June 24 (Reporter Zhong Yi) The mechanical production line is operating at high speed, the optical lens is precisely assembled, and the rotating shaft device is tested... On the 23rd, a cross-strait media delegation participating in the Twin Cities New Momentum·2026 Cross-Strait Media Sichuan and Chongqing Tour event visited high-tech enterprises in Dazu District and Tongliang District of Chongqing to experience the vivid practice of enterprises taking root in the west and accelerating transformation and intelligent upgrading.
Shengtai Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Shengtai Optoelectronics), located in Shuangqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone, Chongqing, was established in 2018. It is a high-tech enterprise mainly engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, sales and image software services of CCM camera modules. "One in every 20 mobile phone cameras is produced here." He Yi, public affairs manager of Shengtai Optoelectronics, said that now, based on the company's deep cultivation of mobile phone and pen movie imaging modules, it has accelerated its entry into AI vision modules, vehicle imaging, drone imaging and other tracks. Its products have covered diverse scenarios such as autonomous driving, smart home, and aerospace.
He Yi said that in the context of the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, companies have also launched digital upgrades across the board in recent years. The current automation rate of production lines has reached more than 98%, and some links have been fully automated. This move helps companies achieve multi-dimensional efficiency improvements in terms of saving labor costs, increasing per capita production capacity, and improving product yields. At present, Shengtai Optoelectronics has built a modern production base of 80,000 square meters, more than 100 modern production lines, more than 1,000 advanced production equipment and a corporate R&D and testing center of more than 3,000 square meters. The company has also established a cross-strait collaborative R&D team. The Taiwanese team is deeply involved in the optical supply chain and core architecture debugging, while the mainland team relies on local intelligent production lines to implement mass production, realizing complementary advantages.
Xin Liangang Electronic Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. (Xin Liangang for short) located in Tongliang District is a Taiwan-funded enterprise mainly engaged in the manufacturing of computers, communications and other electronic equipment. Relying on the rotating shaft technology accumulation of Taiwan Lianhong Group, we are actively exploring the mainland market. Since landing in Chongqing in 2013, it has obtained more than 400 patents.
"I have been working in the mainland for nearly 30 years, and I have witnessed with my own eyes that the mainland industry has steadily moved from traditional processing and manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, and now it has fully entered a new stage of AI development." Lin Mingdui, general manager of the company, said that in response to market changes, Xin Liangang has formulated a two-step transformation path of "notebook basic base + diversified new tracks". The first is to develop cross-industry diversification, break through the limitations of a single laptop industry, and find new possibilities and development space through diversified layout. The second is to regard intelligence as the core competitive advantage in the future, continue to promote intelligent upgrading of manufacturing, introduce intelligent technology to improve production efficiency, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement. "At the end of 2023, we have just completed a 50,000-square-meter R&D building and factory."
It is worth mentioning that during the visit, the relevant persons in charge of the two companies unanimously stated that Chongqing’s enterprise-friendly business environment is an important basis for companies to take root and expand across borders.
Shengtai Optoelectronics chose Dazu District as its headquarters and manufacturing base mainly due to its superior geographical location and the high-quality business environment and policy support provided by the local government. The camera module production line is a typical asset-heavy operation model, with an investment of approximately 10 million yuan in equipment for a single production line. In view of this characteristic, the local government provides all-round assistance from site selection to production support, and assists enterprises in effective financing, solving the financial problem of expanding reproduction.
Xinliangang also benefits from the industrial supporting facilities in Sichuan and Chongqing. Lin Mingdui said that under the overlay of multiple strategies such as the Western Development and the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle, the Sichuan-Chongqing region, as the largest and most dynamic urban agglomeration in southwest China, has sound economic development and industrial supporting facilities, and its future development prospects are exciting.
Yang Riching, convener of Taiwan's "Business Times" news team, said that as Taiwan's mainstream professional financial media, he is particularly concerned about the development achievements of Sichuan and Chongqing's technology industry. From laptop accessories to the AI track, from traditional manufacturing to intelligent upgrades, the two high-tech enterprises have coincidentally launched a cross-sector diversified layout, breaking out of the growth bottleneck of a single main business. This is not only a trend under the resonance of industrial gradient transfer and technological iteration, but also a vivid footnote to the "new momentum" of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle.
