On October 30, 2025, at the 8th China Fluorosilicon Industry Green Development Conference, Yongxiu County in Jiangxi Province was awarded the title of "China Organic Silicon Industry Digital Transformation Benchmark Zone" for its practice of empowering industrial upgrading with "industrial brain". This county, known as the "Capital of Organic Silicon in China", is accelerating its progress towards becoming a global high-end organic silicon material base through digital reconstruction of its industrial ecology.


Digital Hub: The Intelligent Revolution from Production to Decision Making
Yongxiu County invested 40 million yuan to build an organic silicon "industrial brain", which integrates industrial operating systems and more than 200 industrial apps to achieve real-time data collection and analysis of the entire industry chain. In the production workshop of Maihao Organic Silicon, AI algorithms perform deep learning on equipment operation data, improving the accuracy of equipment fault prediction to 98% and reducing maintenance costs by 35%; At the level of industrial chain collaboration, the supply and demand docking platform built by the industrial brain has increased the inventory turnover rate of upstream and downstream enterprises by 40%, and shortened the order delivery cycle to 7 days.


Innovation Ecology: A Leap from Following to Leading
Relying on the industry university research mechanism of "enterprise problem setting, scientific research answering, and market judgment", Yongxiu has established 2 national level enterprise technology centers and 5 provincial key laboratories. In September this year, the "high-performance silicone oil lotion" developed by Yongxiu Research Institute of East China University of Technology broke the foreign monopoly, and the product added value increased three times; The "aerogel composite" jointly developed by Jiangxi Xinghuo Organosilicon and the Process Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been applied to the thermal protection system of the Long March series rockets, marking Yongxiu's technological breakthrough in the aerospace field.


Green Transformation: From Scale Expansion to Value Enhancement
Facing the "dual carbon" goal, Yongxiu took the lead in building a circular economy system. Through the carbon footprint tracking module of the industrial brain, enterprises can accurately calculate the full lifecycle emissions of their products and optimize their process routes. For example, Jiangxi Blue Star Spark Organic Silicon has reduced unit product energy consumption by 15% and reduced annual carbon dioxide emissions by 26000 tons through waste heat recovery technology; The newly introduced Eken silicone project adopts a closed-loop production process, with a waste silicone recovery rate of 99%, achieving "zero waste" production.


Cluster effect: from single point breakthrough to full chain rise
At present, Yongxiu has gathered 172 upstream and downstream enterprises, forming a complete industrial chain from metal silicon smelting to terminal products, with over 1300 product types and an industrial correlation of 70%. In the first three quarters of 2025, the output value of the organic silicon industry in the county exceeded 28 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22%, accounting for 18% of the national market share. With the improvement of public platforms such as the "Organic Silicon Pilot Base" and "Provincial Testing Center", Yongzheng has attracted more high-end projects to land. It is reported that the "Silicon based New Materials Innovation Industrial Park" with a total investment of 5 billion yuan has started construction, and it is expected to drive the industrial scale to exceed 100 billion yuan after completion in 2027.


Yongxiu's practice has proven that digital transformation is not a multiple-choice question, but a must answer question, "said Zhang Jianjun, Secretary General of the China Fluorosilicon Organic Materials Industry Association." Through the dual drive of digital technology and green technology, Yongxiu has not only reshaped the competitiveness of traditional industries, but also provided a county-level sample for the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry
