In the vibrant port city during the peak of summer, a scene of intense production activity unfolds within the smart manufacturing workshop of Qinhuangdao Taihean Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-finished products flow rapidly along the magnetic levitation intelligent production line, while a large smart screen in the workshop displays real-time data on total orders, production progress, and product qualification rates, enabling intelligent visual control over the entire production process. At the end of the line, finished products are neatly packaged, ready to be shipped across the country.
This production line incorporates internationally leading magnetic levitation guidance technology, offering high-speed operation, energy efficiency, and stability. It integrates multiple functions such as automatic assembly, intelligent marking, and precise debugging, with a production capacity of 2,000 units per hour. It stands as a top-tier intelligent production line in China's fire alarm equipment sector, excelling in both capacity and quality control.
The impressive manufacturing capabilities serve as a microcosm of the thriving electronic information industry in Qinhuangdao. Favorable development conditions have laid a solid foundation for the industry's growth and strengthening. As a main force among the city's strategic emerging industries, the electronic information sector has become a powerful engine for cultivating new quality productive forces and driving industrial transformation.
Leveraging its proximity to Beijing and Tianjin, a solid foundation in precision manufacturing, and rich industry-academia-research resources, Qinhuangdao has deepened its focus on the electronic information track. It has built a complete and distinctive industrial cluster, injecting continuous momentum into the city's industrial quality improvement and upgrading.
Taihean Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of IoT-based fire protection products. It has been recognized as a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in specific sectors and a national-level green factory. After nine years of dedicated work in the smart fire protection field, the company focuses on core products for automatic fire alarm systems. Its products are widely used not only in residential, commercial, and office buildings but also comprehensively cover high-risk fire prevention areas like petroleum and chemical industries, meeting fire safety needs across various scenarios.
"Innovation is the foundation for an enterprise's long-term development," stated Sun Yu, the company's General Manager. The company adheres to a path of integrating industry, academia, and research, engaging in deep technical cooperation with institutions like Tsinghua University and Hebei University of Technology, and has successively overcome several key industry technologies.
Through sustained R&D investment, the company independently built a fire protection IoT equipment management platform. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies like NB-IoT, it enables remote intelligent operation and maintenance for tens of millions of devices, reducing false alarm rates for fire detection by 90%, thereby breaking the long-term monopoly of overseas brands.
Currently, the company holds 123 various intellectual property rights, with over 50 scientific research achievements successfully commercialized. Its fire alarm products firmly occupy a leading position in the domestic market, and its IoT fire protection products hold the top market share nationwide, with business spanning all provinces across the country.
The continuous breakthroughs by leading enterprises have catalyzed a regional industrial cluster effect. With Taihean Technology and Gulf Security as dual leaders, nearly 20 large-scale fire protection electronics enterprises have gathered. The city has become the nation's largest R&D and production base for fire protection electronics, forming a complete industrial chain covering R&D design, precision manufacturing, system integration, and IoT operation services. Its products account for over 40% of the national market share.
While strengthening the advantageous fire protection electronics sector, the city's medical electronics industry is also rising powerfully. Leveraging the dual policy benefits of the Beidaihe Life and Health Industry Innovation Demonstration Zone and the National Comprehensive Innovation Pilot for Rehabilitation Assistive Devices Industry, the city actively fosters a medical electronics industrial cluster led by Contect Medical, with collaborative development from companies like H&S Medical and Aidite. This has formed a complete industrial chain integrating R&D design, precision manufacturing, software algorithms, global sales, and health services.
Contect Medical, rooted in Qinhuangdao for nearly 30 years, is a benchmark listed company in China's medical electronics field. Renowned for its high quality, its products are exported to over 140 countries and regions worldwide. It has established an integrated online-offline global marketing network, with its portable diagnostic equipment production capacity and export scale ranking among the top in the country, making it a significant force in Qinhuangdao's foreign trade exports.
Driven by these leaders, the city's medical electronics industry has formed a pattern of differentiated competition and complementary development. H&S Medical focuses on functional medicine testing, chronic disease management, and brain function rehabilitation equipment, utilizing proprietary technologies like bioelectrical impedance and brain-computer interfaces to create whole-life-cycle health management devices. Companies like Aidite concentrate on medical consumables and digital dental equipment, forming a complementary upstream and downstream industrial chain with Contect Medical, thereby building a comprehensive industrial ecosystem.
The simultaneous advancement of fire protection electronics and medical electronics represents the concrete results of the city's overall electronic information planning. Entering a new stage of industrial development, the city is strategically positioning itself within specific tracks. It is strengthening existing advantageous industries while cultivating emerging business forms and proactively planning for future industries.
Focusing on细分领域 such as semiconductor packaging, smart terminals, the Internet of Things, and digital healthcare, the city conducts targeted investment promotion. This continuously addresses weaknesses in the industrial chain, extends the value chain, and optimizes the supporting industrial ecosystem.
Long-term planning and cultivation have finally yielded fruitful results. After years of nurturing, the agglomeration effect of the city's electronic information industry has become increasingly prominent, with its scale steadily rising. By the end of 2025, the city had 80 electronic information enterprises included in statistical reports, comprising 55 manufacturers and 25 software and information service companies. The annual main business revenue reached 31.65 billion yuan, with total exports amounting to $1.85 billion, ranking first in the province in export scale. The electronic information industry continues to build new advantages and accumulate new strength for the high-quality development of the port city's industry.
