LKIMM × WEISI : From Equipment Networking to "Lights-Out Factory" – Empowering Smart Manufacturing Upgrades in the Collectible Toy Industry with Systematic Capabilities
Against the backdrop of fast product cycles, high quality standards, and tight delivery schedules in the collectible toy industry, the deep collaboration between LKIMM and WEISI has achieved significant milestones. In this partnership, LKIMM has delivered not merely individual injection molding machines, but a fully integrated, operational, and validated plant-wide injection molding system. The following four factual outcomes constitute the core value proposition of this collaboration.
I. System Integration: Fully Embedded in WEISI Smart Factory's Digital Closed Loop
LKIMM's injection molding machines have been deeply integrated into the overall architecture of WEISI's smart factory, fully interfacing with its MES, intelligent scheduling, and automated production lines. This enables end-to-end digital control encompassing equipment networking, data exchange, and process coordination. The injection molding segment is now incorporated into WEISI's digital management closed loop, providing a real-time, actionable data foundation for production stability and quality traceability.
II. Operational Mode Validated: "24h Lights-Out Production" Proven Under High-Demand Orders
During the production of derivative products for the hit collectible character "Nezha," LKIMM equipment has demonstrated 24h stable operation, with lights-out unmanned production sustained through actual order cycles. This model directly enabled WEISI to rapidly scale capacity during peak order periods driven by IP popularity, efficiently converting IP-driven demand into delivery capability.
III. Scale Proven: Solution Supporting the Launch of a 40,000 m² Industry Benchmark Factory
WEISI's 40,000 m² smart factory, built with significant investment, is now in its final pre-launch phase and will become an industry benchmark upon completion. LKIMM has undertaken the full plant solution—extending from injection molding equipment to digital production and comprehensive process control—marking the company's evolution from "single-machine availability" to "plant-wide deployability."
IV. Benchmark Co-Created: Defining a Replicable Path for Smart Manufacturing in the Collectible Toy Industry
The partnership is strategically aimed at industry leadership—jointly establishing a smart manufacturing benchmark and aspiring to be a frontrunner in intelligent manufacturing technology. LKIMM will continue to provide WEISI with more mature injection molding solutions. The validated "equipment + MES + automation" collaborative model offers a referenceable and replicable upgrade pathway for the broader collectible toy industry.
In this collaboration, LKIMM and WEISI have together validated a viable path for deeply integrating injection molding equipment into smart factories—machines now fully interfaced with MES and automated lines, 24h unmanned production proven in real high-demand orders, and the solution supporting the launch of a 40,000 m² benchmark facility. Both parties will continue to deepen their partnership, offering a practical reference for smart manufacturing upgrades across the collectible toy sector.
