On May 28, Jiangsu Shagang Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shagang") officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with DingTalk. The two parties will focus on building a collaborative office system for the entire group and deepening the development of artificial intelligence (AI) application scenarios. With DingTalk Wukong and several AI products as the core drivers, they aim to promote the large-scale implementation of AI technology in the steel industry, helping Shagang establish a new working model suited to the AI era. Chen Shaohui, Executive Director and Co-President of Shagang Group, along with Chen Hang, founder of DingTalk and Wukong, attended the event and witnessed this important collaboration.
About Shagang Group
Founded in 1975, Shagang is one of China's largest privately owned steel enterprise groups. Its annual steel production has consistently ranked among the top in the country, and it has been listed on the Fortune Global 500 for many years. With over 10,000 employees worldwide, its business network spans multiple countries and regions. In recent years, the group has prioritized digital and intelligent transformation as its core development strategy, continuously increasing investment in digital infrastructure, smart manufacturing, and AI technology applications, striving to become an internationally leading smart steel enterprise.
Strategic Cooperation Details
The focus of this collaboration is to build a group-wide collaborative office system based on a dedicated DingTalk platform, powered by Wukong AI as the intelligent engine. This initiative aims to address real-world challenges in the steel industry’s operations and implement seven innovative AI application scenarios, effectively transforming AI technology into tangible value.
In terms of collaborative office infrastructure, Shagang will leverage DingTalk’s digital foundation to integrate existing OA, human resources management, finance, and other key business systems, achieving unified account management, single sign-on, and cross-system data interoperability. At the same time, a private hybrid data storage solution and security monitoring mechanisms will be introduced to provide robust technical and security safeguards for the company’s digital transformation.
On the practical application side, Shagang will fully utilize DingTalk’s Intelligent Agent Development Platform to support the widespread deployment of AI features. It also plans to gradually roll out Wukong AI assistants across the entire group, deeply embedding them into daily operational workflows to foster an “AI-native” organizational culture that boosts team vitality and individual creativity. For example, the jointly developed “KYT Automatic Hazard Detection Assistant” uses AI-powered visual recognition to analyze production site footage in real-time, automatically identifying potential risks and enhancing the factory’s intelligent safety management capabilities.
In addition, both parties will collaborate on Shagang’s internal AI talent cultivation program. Through systematic AI training workshops, they aim to develop a core team with digital thinking, create replicable and scalable AI application case studies, and accelerate the pace of intelligent transformation.

Chen Shaohui, Executive Director and Co-President of Shagang Group, stated: “This partnership with DingTalk marks Shagang’s entry into a new phase of intelligent development.

We look forward to leveraging DingTalk and Wukong AI to empower every employee with intelligent tools, significantly improving management efficiency and operational competitiveness.”
Chen Hang, founder of DingTalk and Wukong, emphasized: “As a pillar industry of Chinese manufacturing, the steel sector serves as an important testing ground for the large-scale deployment of AI technology. Our collaboration with Shagang represents a crucial step forward in applying DingTalk and Wukong to heavy industrial settings. We will seamlessly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities with Shagang’s actual business needs, helping it create a truly implementable and replicable industry AI benchmark, providing a valuable practical blueprint for the digital upgrade of China’s steel industry.”
