AI Empowered Smart Manufacturing: Zhejiang Qixi Leads the New Upgrade of Smart Lock Industry
Busy‑Running Smart‑Lock Production Upgraded by AI‑Empowered Smart Manufacturing
— Zhejiang Qixi Security Technology Captures Emerging Market Track via Technological Innovation
On August 10, 2026, the smart‑lock workshop of Zhejiang Qixi Security Technology Co., Ltd., located in Niubeijin Industrial Zone of Wuyi County, Jinhua City, was in full swing. Automated assembly lines ran at full speed, while on‑duty workers carried out assembly procedures for smart door locks in an orderly manner. Production lines operated under full‑load capacity to satisfy the continuously‑growing market orders.
In recent years, this security‑oriented enterprise has seized the industrial opportunity brought by AI large‑scale models. It has recruited high‑end technical professionals and made breakthroughs in core underlying technologies. By applying artificial intelligence to renovate production assembly lines and upgrade intelligent hardware functions, the company pursues sustainable growth amid cut‑throat industry‑wide competition.
Rooted in the Hardware Industrial Cluster and Committed to Intelligent Security
Founded in December 2021, Zhejiang Qixi Security Technology Co., Ltd. sits at No.8 Jinniu Road, Niubeijin Industrial Zone, Wuyi County. Reputed as China’s Hot‑spring Capital, Wuyi enjoys favorable geographic conditions. The factory is adjacent to Yongkang (China’s Door Capital) and Yiwu Commodity Distribution Center, the core domestic hardware industrial hubs, granting it complete supporting‑chain resources.
With a registered capital of 6,589,600 RMB, the enterprise engages in the manufacture and sale of security equipment, smart‑home hardware and hardware products. Its business scope also covers software development, system integration and integrated‑circuit design. It operates as an all‑in‑one comprehensive security‑tech manufacturer integrating research‑and‑development, production and sales.
The company owns its proprietary lock brand “Guwanjia”, which develops and manufactures smart door locks, anti‑theft door locks and high‑end door handles. Customized full‑set smart‑lock solutions are available for clients. At present, roughly 36 insured staff members are employed, forming dedicated production and R&D teams. In 2025, it was certified as a Grade‑III National Work‑Safety Standardized Enterprise, with standardized workshop operation and safety‑management mechanisms.
AI‑Driven Hardware Upgrades: Hands‑Free Unlocking and Remote Visual Monitoring
According to local official news sources in Wuyi, Qixi Security has formulated a clear roadmap for artificial‑intelligence implementation. In July 2026, Chen Hong, Party Secretary of Wuyi County, launched a special‑purpose research visit focusing on the AI‑enabled industry. As a representative local manufacturer, Qixi Security presented its achievements in digital transformation and AI‑powered intelligent‑manufacturing upgrading.
The enterprise prioritizes AI‑based renovation for smart door locks and has commercialized two flagship functions: hands‑free unlocking and real‑time remote door‑view monitoring. During the inspection tour, county officials toured production workshops and R&D laboratories, inquired into corporate operation status and lock‑industry market conditions. They advised local manufacturers to embrace cutting‑edge opportunities from large AI models and embodied intelligence, expand technical talent pools, conquer core technologies, optimize assembly lines and enrich smart‑lock features with AI so as to strengthen market competitiveness.
Artificial intelligence has become the core driver of smart‑lock iteration. Hands‑free unlocking relies on sensor and visual recognition to complete identity verification and door opening without physical contact. The remote monitoring function enables users to check porch‑side conditions anytime via mobile phones. Both user‑friendly functions combine AI visual recognition, high‑precision sensors and cloud‑based interconnection technologies.
Dual Engines of Talent Recruitment and Production‑line Renovation Fuel Smart‑manufacturing Transformation
Qixi Security keeps recruiting R&D specialists to carry out research on large AI‑model technologies. Intelligent equipment has revamped its legacy production lines for higher throughput and strict finished‑product quality control. Its integrated‑circuit design and data‑processing businesses also build up underlying technical foundations for AI‑hardware adaptation.
Against intensified homogeneous competition inside the smart‑lock sector, the company regards artificial intelligence as its key breakthrough point and transforms from conventional hardware processing into AI‑empowered smart manufacturing. It carries out intelligent retrofits for workshop machinery while launching new‑generation AI‑equipped door locks, building a complete industrial chain for the upgrade from traditional manufacturing to smart production.
Industry Trend: Intelligent Upgrade Has Become the General Consensus for Lock Manufacturers
The hardware industrial cluster centered on Yongkang and Wuyi is undergoing an AI‑led industrial revolution. The updated national standard Safety Specifications for Locks Part 2: Burglar‑Resistant Locks formally took effect in March 2026, setting rigid requirements covering mechanical anti‑pry structures and cyber‑security performance of intelligent locks.
Constrained by upgraded national‑standard technical thresholds and fierce market rivalry, numerous lock manufacturers develop differentiated products empowered by artificial intelligence.
During his enterprise inspection, Wuyi County Party Secretary Chen Hong suggested local manufacturers actively embrace artificial intelligence, improve product quality via intelligent technology and push forward industrial upgrading. Serving as one benchmark enterprise in this wave, Zhejiang Qixi Security Technology renovates its production lines and smart‑lock functions with AI and explores the transformation path from traditional hardware processor to high‑tech intelligent‑security enterprise.
Looking ahead, as large AI models and embodied‑intelligence technologies mature, the smart‑lock sector is poised for another round of technical revolution. Having made early‑stage layouts on artificial‑intelligence tracks, Zhejiang Qixi Security Technology is well‑positioned to seize market opportunities amid industry reshuffling and consolidate its competitive advantages within this niche sector.
