NewPearl Group Showcases AI Innovation to Upgrade Global Manufacture at National AI Symposium for Building Materials
On May 22, 2026, the National AI Academic Symposium for Building Materials Industry, hosted by China Building Materials Industry Information Center, was successfully held. As a pioneer of digital and intelligent manufacture in ceramic industry, NewPearl Group was invited to attend this high-level event. Vice President Gao Shijie delivered a keynote speech about AI application practices in building material manufacture, fully demonstrating NewPearl’s mature AI matrix and industrial intelligent transformation achievements. Under the national “AI+” strategy and the background of fostering new productive forces, NewPearl integrates AI into every link of manufacture, addressing long-standing industry pain points, optimizing manufacture efficiency, creating tangible value for global distributors, project contractors and design partners, and setting a replicable benchmark for the whole building material manufacture sector.
AI Solves Core New Pain Points Restricting Traditional Manufacture
Traditional ceramic manufacture has long been trapped by three stubborn bottlenecks hard to eliminate via manual operation, and AI technology from NewPearl thoroughly cracks these manufacture problems. First, manual quality inspection cannot identify tiny surface defects of tiles and slabs, leading to unstable product qualification rate and frequent overseas return complaints. Cooperated with Alibaba Cloud, NewPearl independently develops AI visual inspection system, which can recognize over 90 kinds of surface flaws, completely solving the misjudgment and missed judgment defects of manual detection in traditional manufacture. Second, manual adjustment of kiln temperature relies on experience, causing high energy consumption and inconsistent product color difference; NewPearl combines AI algorithm and digital twin technology to dynamically adjust kiln operation parameters, removing the instability of manual temperature control in high-temperature manufacture. Third, traditional manual design can hardly meet personalized customization demands of global customers, with slow new product iteration cycle; generative AI introduced by NewPearl breaks material design bottlenecks in manufacture, generating countless unique textures and patterns automatically. Besides, the “one tile one code” digital traceability system powered by AI and blockchain fixes the authenticity verification problem of exported ceramic products, eliminating counterfeiting risks that trouble global partners in cross-border trade manufacture.

AI Greatly Improves Full-Link Manufacture Efficiency for Global Supply
Every AI module deployed by NewPearl brings visible efficiency improvement to the whole manufacture chain, strongly supporting stable global order delivery. In quality inspection manufacture link, AI inspection system raises detection efficiency by 10 times compared with manual work, with detection accuracy exceeding 98%, drastically cutting manual labor cost in manufacture workshops. In firing manufacture section, AI precise temperature control optimizes energy consumption and shortens production adjustment cycle, lifting overall factory throughput. In product R&D manufacture link, generative AI shortens new slab and tile development cycle from weeks to several hours, accelerating the launch of customized products for overseas markets. In cross-border circulation manufacture link, AI digital traceability system realizes one-click query of full life cycle data, greatly simplifying customs inspection and overseas warehouse stock management efficiency. All AI-driven manufacture optimizations ensure NewPearl can deliver bulk export orders faster and more stably, solving the low-speed production and long delivery cycle pain points of traditional ceramic manufacture.

AI Manufacture Brings Long-Term Stable Benefits to Global Partners Worldwide
All AI upgrades of NewPearl manufacture are designed to create sustainable profits for international distributors, engineering clients and interior design partners. Firstly, AI high-precision inspection lowers defective product rate, reducing partners’ after-sales cost, return freight and project construction loss caused by unqualified tiles. Secondly, AI optimized manufacture cuts overall production cost, allowing NewPearl to provide partners with more competitive wholesale prices under stable quality standards. Thirdly, generative AI supports unlimited personalized custom patterns, helping partners capture high-margin customized slab and tile orders from local high-end real estate, hotels and commercial projects. Fourthly, AI one-tile-one-code traceability system provides complete official quality certification for export products, helping partners smoothly pass quality standards of EU, US, Southeast Asia and other markets, avoiding customs detention risks in cross-border manufacture trade. Relying on AI intelligent manufacture, NewPearl’s global partners gain stronger product competitiveness, lower operation risks and wider profit space in local building material markets.

NewPearl Leads the Intelligent & Green Upgrade of Global Building Material Manufacture
As a leading enterprise applying AI into large-scale ceramic manufacture, NewPearl sets an industry-wide demonstration model for intelligent transformation of traditional building material manufacture. At the national AI symposium, NewPearl shared three core trends of industrial AI: large model large-scale landing, generative AI reconstructing manufacture workflow, multi-modal AI precise data capture, guiding global ceramic manufacturers to transform from labor-intensive manufacture to AI-driven intelligent manufacture. NewPearl’s full-chain AI manufacture solution covers raw material processing, production firing, quality testing, product design and cross-border supply chain, forming a complete set of mature intelligent transformation schemes that can be referenced by medium and small building material factories globally. While promoting AI popularization in manufacture, NewPearl also combines AI control with energy-saving production to realize green low-carbon manufacture, responding to global carbon neutrality demands of construction industry.
Looking ahead, NewPearl Group will continue to deepen the integration of AI and manufacture, expand AI application scenarios in production, design, supply chain and overseas service, explore more possibilities of “AI + high-end home building materials”, and drive the whole building material manufacture industry toward intelligence, green and high-end development together with global partners.
