EnglishOn October 28, the Ding Summit, themed "The Future of Work in the AI Era," was held in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Hosted by DingTalk, Alibaba's AI-powered office platform, the summit brought together hundreds of representatives from Ningbo-based companies in industries such as manufacturing, retail, and new materials. Together, they explored how AI technology can empower businesses to boost productivity and drive the transformation of traditional manufacturing toward intelligent operations.
Ningbo, an important port city on China's southeastern coast and a hub for advanced manufacturing, boasts a deeply rooted spirit of openness and serves as a leading front line for the deep integration of AI with the real economy. DingTalk revealed that, as of now, more than 80% of listed companies in the Ningbo region are using DingTalk for daily operations and management. Local well-known enterprises, including Yagor and Aucma, have already adopted DingTalk as a key platform for digital transformation.
As a smart collaboration platform with 700 million users, DingTalk has long been committed to supporting Chinese enterprises in their digital and intelligent transformation. It currently serves more than 26 million businesses across over 20 sectors of the national economy, with the number of AI applications exceeding 1.41 million.
DingTalk Regional General Manager Chen Weimian
In his speech, DingTalk Regional General Manager Chen Weimian noted: "Ningbo is a benchmark city for Chinese manufacturing and one of the regions where DingTalk's services are most deeply embedded. In the AI era, DingTalk aims to continuously help Ningbo-based businesses reduce costs, increase efficiency, and transform productivity by providing inclusive, easy-to-use, and secure AI productivity tools. In the future, DingTalk can help every enterprise build its own proprietary model that learns all the information and knowledge accumulated since the company's founding, enabling intelligent judgment and decision-making."
Yagor Group
As a leading enterprise in China's apparel industry, Yagor has been fully advancing its "smart retail" strategy in recent years. According to Wang Xin, the company's CIO, Yagor has deployed DingTalk's AI-powered intelligent coaching system across thousands of stores nationwide. New employees can quickly master product knowledge and sales techniques through simulated conversations, shortening the training period by more than 50%.
At the same time, management uses DingTalk's ChatBI feature to enable "data queries anytime, anywhere"—simply by asking questions in natural language, they can instantly access key metrics such as sales trends, inventory turnover, and regional performance, supporting precise decision-making. "In the past, we had to wait for IT to generate reports. Now, executives on business trips can use their phones to ask, 'How did down jacket sales perform in East China during Q3?' and receive an answer in seconds—truly making data-driven business a reality," Wang Xin said.
Ningbo Oriental Cable Co., Ltd.
Oriental Cable, a listed high-tech company, has seen its CIO Zhu Yin Fen share how the company has leveraged DingTalk's AI tables to restructure business processes and optimize project management. In the past, data across departments were scattered across Excel spreadsheets, emails, and paper forms, making it difficult to track progress. Today, the company has built a unified AI table platform on DingTalk that automatically aggregates operational and business metric data, generating real-time visual dashboards and intelligently alerting responsible parties about task statuses. 'Risks of project delays are flagged in advance, and resource allocation becomes more timely,' she said.
Notably, when marketing staff are on business trips, they fill out logs via DingTalk, and the system automatically generates image-and-text posters that are pushed to management groups, capturing customer feedback, competitive dynamics, and pressing challenges in real time. The company responds swiftly, deploying technical or supply-chain resources to support these needs, boosting the efficiency of converting business opportunities by 30%.
Ningbo Yongxin Optics Co., Ltd.
With a strong foundation in scientific instruments and precision optical components, Yongxin Optics has successfully established an "all-staff development" innovation mechanism by leveraging DingTalk's low-code and AI table features. According to the company's CIO Yang Weifeng, 90% of low-code applications are now built independently by business personnel, increasing development efficiency by 5 to 10 times and covering 80% to 90% of daily business needs.
In practice, production staff use DingTalk's low-code tools to quickly build IoT data platforms, enabling automatic collection and visual monitoring of equipment parameters. In project management, AI tables provide integrated functions for planning, task breakdown, cost tracking, and progress coordination, making cross-departmental collaboration as efficient and seamless as an "online conversation."
In addition, Yongxin Optics has used DingTalk's AI assistant to create a "digital employee" service group that automatically handles tasks such as building departmental knowledge bases, providing skills training, and offering intelligent Q&A services. This effectively breaks down "departmental silos," significantly enhancing organizational responsiveness and operational agility.
In the future, DingTalk will continue to deepen its service presence in Ningbo, working with local ecosystem partners to help more businesses move from "using DingTalk" to "making the most of AI," together creating a "Ningbo model" for China's core intelligent manufacturing sector.
