Industrial artificial intelligence provider Hongyi Technology has partnered with IT service provider iSoftStone and Huawei Cloud to launch a national ecosystem alliance aimed at deploying autonomous AI agents across China's manufacturing sector.
The initiative, named the iSoftStone Tianxuan AgentOS Ecosystem Alliance, was officially launched Nov. 6 during an industry conference in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The alliance brings together regional clients, independent software vendors, and channel partners to turn agentic AI concepts into standardized, repeatable software solutions for factory floors.
Guangzhou-based Hongyi Technology, founded by executive veterans from Alibaba, Huawei, P&G, Midea, Kingdee, and Douyin, specializes in digitalizing small and medium-sized manufacturers. The company's technology stack combines its proprietary Shiguangji AI industrial foundation model with its Daxiong Cloud and Dingdang Cloud agent operating systems, paired with specialized edge computing hardware.
Targeting a domestic market of more than 5 million small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, the company offers multi-tiered automation tools to lower operating costs and boost production efficiency across industrial sectors.
As of September 2026, Hongyi Technology has surveyed more than 70,000 manufacturing businesses and deployed its industrial AI agent platforms across nearly 20,000 factories in 70 cities across 15 provinces. Supported by a technical service network of over 1,000 partners, the firm has set a goal to expand its platform to 100,000 factories within the next three years.
The company has established strategic industrial partnerships with major cloud and telecommunications providers, including China Telecom and Alibaba Cloud. At the 2025 and 2026 Apsara Conferences, Hongyi Technology showcased integrations combining its industrial agent operating system with Alibaba's Qwen large language models to create intelligent control units for factory operations.
Hongyi Technology's platforms were highlighted in the 2026 Industrial AI Agent Development Report published by the China Academy of Industrial Internet, an institute under China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The firm was also recognized as a key digital economy provider in regional industrial internet initiatives and national innovation competitions.
Alliance members stated that the new partnership will focus on accelerating the final stages of field integration, allowing industrial AI agents to manage complex manufacturing workflows, real-time quality control, and supply chain coordination across domestic production networks.
