Daina Technology and Shenghong Petrochemical Group have reached a strategic cooperation: AI + Lights-out Laboratories are empowering the intelligent upgrade of the entire petrochemical industry chain.

On May 12, 2026, Beijing Dyna Experimental Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenghong Petrochemical Group officially signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement in the field of intelligent services. The two parties will engage in systematic collaboration across areas including laboratory intelligence upgrades, intelligent transformation of production processes, and optimization of manufacturing technologies. Leveraging the core technologies of AI + Lights-out Laboratories, Shenghong Petrochemical has achieved a strategic leap from an “management-driven smart factory” to an “AI factory driven by data.”

Strategic Alignment: A Two-Way Pursuit of Intelligent Transformation

Currently, Shenghong Petrochemical is systematically advancing its intelligent transformation and has positioned it as a core strategic priority. The roadmap has evolved from building smart factories to a phase of deep AI-driven innovation spanning the entire business value chain—research and development, production, operations, and management—thereby elevating its AI strategy alongside its “1+N” industrial framework as two key engines propelling high-quality growth. As a leading player in China’s dark‑factory laboratory sector, Daina Technology has successfully delivered the acrylonitrile testing dark‑factory project at Sierbang Petrochemical’s Quality Center—the country’s first demonstration project to integrate AI‑powered automation into industrial production processes. This initiative has significantly enhanced testing automation, fundamentally mitigating occupational health and safety risks associated with manual handling of highly toxic samples. This collaboration represents a precise alignment between technological capabilities and industry needs.

Three major areas of collaboration: end-to-end empowerment from the laboratory to the production line.

First is the construction of a dark‑room laboratory. Daina Technology will help Shenghong Petrochemical transform its laboratory into an AI‑driven, unmanned operating model, overcoming key technological challenges such as multimodal environmental perception and cross‑device collaborative control, and establishing a fully automated, closed‑loop intelligent system that spans from experimental operations and reaction execution to data processing. By conducting an in-depth investigation and assessment of the existing laboratory’s process characteristics, Daina will deliver comprehensive planning, solution design, and implementation for the “dark‑room” laboratory.

Second, closed-loop application of AI technologies. Focusing on the practical business needs of Shenghong Petrochemical’s intelligent transformation, we are developing domain-specific AI models tailored to vertical industries, with key applications in product quality prediction, process‑control guidance, and risk identification and assessment. At the same time, we are helping to establish a high‑quality, standardized data‑collection framework, providing robust data support for the autonomous learning and continuous optimization of these specialized AI models, thereby driving a systematic enhancement of production efficiency through artificial intelligence.

Third, the establishment of an intelligent management platform. Daina Technology leverages cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital twins to build a comprehensive digital management platform that integrates real-time monitoring of both laboratory and production environments, digital visualization, and intelligent operations and maintenance management, thereby comprehensively elevating the enterprise’s level of intelligent and digital governance.

Technological Confidence: Dual Support from Key Laboratories and Industrial Practice

Daina Technology, leveraging the “Beijing Key Laboratory for Fully Automated AI Experimental Systems” jointly established with the Chinese Academy of Standardization, possesses robust technical capabilities in the fields of artificial intelligence and the development of Lights-out Laboratories. From Sierbang Petrochemical’s pioneering domestic demonstration project to Shenghong Petrochemical’s intelligent upgrade of its entire industrial chain, Daina Technology is driving a paradigm shift in the petrochemical industry—from “experience-driven” to “data-driven”—with “AI + Lights-out Laboratories” at its core.

Co-create the future

This strategic partnership marks a new phase in which Daina Technology’s AI + Lights-out Laboratories technology is advancing from isolated pilot projects to large-scale industrial applications. Moving forward, the two parties will continue to deepen their collaboration, leveraging intelligent and digital solutions to drive high-quality development in the petrochemical industry and contribute technological expertise to the transformation and upgrading of China’s energy and chemical sectors.
