2025-03-18
On March 17, 2025,Hunan University of TechnologyProfessor Yao Qishui, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, led He Mingfeng, Director of the Industrial Design Department of the School of Mechanical Engineering, and others to visit GuangdongLao Guang Aluminum IndustryCo., Ltd. conducted a visit. Liu Sanmei, Chairman of Lao Guang Group, heads of various departments of the group, and Lin Wenjie, President of the Foshan Alumni Association of Hunan University of Technology, attended the event together. The two sides had in-depth discussions on the innovation of smart door and window technology and the coordinated development of industry, academia, and research, and officially signed a school enterprise cooperation agreement. This cooperation marks a new stage in the deep integration of the smart home industry in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the scientific research strength of universities.



At around 13:00, the visiting group walked into the Lao Guang Intelligent Doors and Windows Exhibition Hall to experience the panoramic intelligent lifting window series products up close. The staff introduced on site that:150 panoramic intelligent lifting windowas a star product of Lao Guang Intelligent Doors and Windows, it supports multiple intelligent control methods, including voice control, APP operation, remote control instructions, and automatic window closing functions with rain sensing. The fan wall is carefully crafted with 5mm thick aluminum profiles and integrated with a 7-layer sealing strip design, achieving an astonishing level 8 wind pressure resistance performance for the entire window. It perfectly isolates outdoor wind, rain, and noise, creating a peaceful and comfortable indoor environment for users.



This exhibition highlights the innovative features of the Lao Guang panoramic intelligent lifting window in intelligent voice control lifting and intelligent sensing opening and closing. At the same time, it also demonstrated the excellent performance of low emissivity coated glass and bridge cut aluminum structure in thermal insulation. Dean Yao highly praised and recognized the technological achievements of the product in balancing intelligent control and safety protection.



At the symposium, Ms. Liu Riyu, the assistant to the president of Lao Guang Aluminum Industry, explained that since the national "dual carbon" target was proposed in 2020, the company has quickly responded and followed the "14th Five Year Plan" for the development of intelligent manufacturing. In 2025, the company will focus on promoting the Lao Guang panoramic intelligent lifting window project. With six core advantages including intelligent control, wide field of view, intelligent sensing, safety protection, fashionable design, and energy conservation and environmental protection, the project will create four series of panoramic intelligent lifting window products. These innovative products not only have excellent quality, but also integrate the concepts of intelligence and environmental protection, aiming to provide excellent door and window solutions for multiple fields such as real estate, self built houses, and commercial residential areas.



In addition, the production base of Lao Guang Intelligent Upgrade Window has been relocated to Zhaoqing, and the new intelligent manufacturing base is under intense construction, expected to be fully put into operation in April! This relocation and upgrade will greatly increase production capacity. With the advantage of Zhaoqing's location, we will achieve a leap in supply chain efficiency and cost optimization, providing more efficient and stable product delivery guarantees for our distributor partners.



Dean Yao pointed out after listening to the introduction that the four undergraduate majors in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Hunan University of Technology, namely Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, Material Forming and Control Engineering, Industrial Design, and Robotics Engineering, are closely related to the Lao Guang Intelligent Project. In the future, point-to-point cooperation should be established, and each cooperation should be solidly carried out to promote in-depth cooperation in the future.



Subsequently, a grand awarding ceremony was held at the conference site, and Guangdong Laoguang Aluminum Industry officially became the internship base of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Hunan University of Technology.



According to industry data, China's smart door and window market is growing rapidly at an average annual rate of 37%, and it is expected that the market size will exceed one trillion yuan by 2029. This strategic cooperation has created a new model of collaborative innovation between schools and enterprises in the field of smart homes. Through deep collaboration in talent cultivation, technology research, and achievement sharing, both parties will jointly promote the intelligent upgrading of smart door and window products, and contribute to the construction of smart cities and; Dual Carbon; Inject new momentum into achieving the goal.
