Design is the soul of products and the language of industries. It brings beauty to cold machinery, simplifies complex technologies, and delivers more human‑centered products to public life. Today, Hebei’s manufacturing sector has achieved notable transformation: from traditional to smart manufacturing, from single‑product innovation to full‑industrial‑chain value reconstruction, and from aesthetic appearance to structural performance. The power of design is reshaping “Hebei Manufacturing”.
The Hebei Intelligent Manufacturing · Cluster Renewal exhibition area, the largest venue of this year’s Hebei International Industrial Design Week, has been fully upgraded: larger exhibition space, more industrial clusters, and more distinctive design works .
Divided into two major sections — New Consumer Scenarios and Intelligent Manufacturing Strength, the exhibition covers eight themed pavilions focusing on Hebei’s key industries: Equipment Manufacturing, Robotics, Healthcare, Materials, Fashion & Light Industry, Smart Home, Food Design, and Sports & Mobility. It showcases innovative products from local enterprises including CRRC Tangshan, Jidong Equipment, Haigong Machinery, Yuming Zhixing, Runze Technology, Heping Electronics, Kelin Electric, Xiong’an Anying, Chengde Longzhida, Kangtai Medical, and Shiqing Medical, presenting benchmark innovation cases of Hebei’s industrial clusters.
Exhibition Highlights
The 4 000 m² Hebei Intelligent Manufacturing · Cluster Renewal zone displays typical cases and design outcomes of industrial‑innovation‑empowered design. It tells the story of Hebei’s industrial transformation through cutting‑edge design: from high‑end equipment upgrading, to the revival of time‑honored industries, from innovation in traditional clusters to the implementation of smart manufacturing, depicting the upgrade trajectory from “Hebei Manufacturing” to “Hebei Intelligent Manufacturing”.
As a province with profound history, Hebei boasts numerous manufacturing clusters alongside time‑honored cultural industries such as Dingzhou porcelain, silk weaving, Quyang stone carving, Weixian paper‑cutting, and Hengshui Laobaigan liquor. Thanks to design, these traditional crafts are revitalized and re‑enter modern daily life with new looks.

Featuring lightweight design, carbon‑fiber composite materials for key parts, and permanent‑magnet traction technology, it reduces weight by 30 % and improves strength by 20 %. With noise‑reduction and vibration‑reduction technologies, it reaches low‑noise standards. Its exterior design integrates modern aesthetics and technological sense.
04 Intelligent Inspection Robot
Developed by BinGuo Keji (Qinhuangdao) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., this multi‑scenario intelligent inspection robot supports wheel‑and‑track mode switching. Equipped with multiple sensors and self‑developed AI algorithms, it carries out high‑precision automatic patrols for harsh environments, improving operational efficiency and maintenance accuracy. It is applied in ports, steel plants and power plants to realize unmanned high‑risk‑position operations.
05 RXR-M40D Fire-Fighting Robot
Brought by CITIC Heavy Industry Kaiwu Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., the RXR-M40D fire-fighting robot features outstanding dynamic performance and fire extinguishing capacity. It can adapt to narrow spaces and operate in fire scenes. Compatible with fire trucks, municipal fire water supply systems and hand-held fire monitors, its minimum required water supply pressure is only 0.1MPa. The fire monitor adopts an integrated gun-cannon design and supports automatic switching. Under low water pressure and low flow conditions in the system, it automatically switches to water gun mode; with sufficient water supply, it switches to water cannon mode automatically. It is especially suitable for micro fire stations, urban-rural fringe areas, old residential communities, industrial and mining enterprises, rural lanes, basements, scenic spots, farmers’ markets and other densely populated public venues with fire monitoring requirements.
06 Fully Automatic Robotic Coffee Bar
Brought by Hebei Huijin Group Co., Ltd., this fully automatic robotic coffee bar is a fully self-service fresh coffee production and sales device. Adopting a "mini storefront" design, it only occupies 1.5㎡ to realize efficient space utilization. Integrating mechanical arms, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, it forms the foundation for intelligent coffee service.
07 Shi Xiaoyi (Persimmon Little One)
Launched by Baoding Yuguo Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., Shi Xiaoyi is an IP image for frozen persimmon product packaging. The product is available in two packaging styles for frozen persimmon food. It adopts a round paper cup + sealed cover structure, with orange and green lids in two color schemes for visual distinction of different specifications. The packaging features the IP image “Persimmon Kid”, a cute cartoon character wearing a persimmon-shaped headgear with lively expressions.
