Chunyu Zhou joined Gangyu Stone Group in 2005 and is currently serving as the Technical Director. She has participated in the development of numerous leading technologies in the stone industry and has successfully applied these technological achievements to multiple key projects, such as Shanghai Tower, Retrofit Project of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport T1 Terminal, BUND SOHO. The series of core technological innovations she has led focus on improving equipment precision and intelligent control, setting new benchmarks for the industry.
She established an intelligent management platform that covers the entire lifecycle of stone manufacturing, forming a closed-loop system of "planning—execution—inspection—sales." By using a software system to optimize the production process of over 100 common types of stone, she optimized key processes such as cutting and polishing, achieving a yield rate of 92% and reducing energy consumption by 18%. The internet-based control system for stone production equipment supports the parsing of over 200 device protocols, enabling remote monitoring and centralized scheduling of CNC cutting machines, waterjet cutters, and polishing machines, increasing equipment utilization to 83%. The big data design system for stone texture patterns aggregates over 1.2 million stone texture data points, supporting AI-based pattern recognition and personalized customer customization, significantly improving design response speed and compressing new product development cycles by 40%. The intelligent execution system for the stone manufacturing process uses MES technology to dynamically allocate production line resources in real time, enabling visual tracking of processes and early warning of abnormalities, reducing manufacturing delays by 30%. The intelligent quality inspection system for stone production is equipped with hyperspectral imaging technology, allowing for 0.1mm-level defect detection in terms such as cracks, color differences, and thickness, with a quality traceability accuracy of 99.8%. The intelligent supply and sales management software connects the ERP system with online sales platforms, supporting automatic replenishment of raw materials and synchronized shipping of customer orders, increasing the average inventory turnover rate to 6.3 times per year. The overall system significantly enhances the capabilities of stone manufacturing enterprises in automation, digitalization, and flexible production, propelling the industry toward a new stage of smart manufacturing.
