Industrial design is more than just aesthetic enhancement. It is a key driver of innovation in manufacturing. Shandong enterprises are tapping deep into the value of industrial design, focusing on front-end product definition and full-chain systemic solutions to empower industrial upgrading.

Based on field research, Raytron Technology Co., Ltd. has launched a mobile thermal imaging camera weighing only 140 grams. Balancing safety and convenience, it expands the application scenarios from industrial inspection to the untapped civilian consumer market. Shandong Langyun Industrial Design has created vertical multi-layer production lines, reducing factory space for overseas customers, securing international orders, and achieving significant output value. Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly improved design efficiency in drawing and process simulation, impacting businesses focused solely on appearance design. However, it remains difficult for AI to replace systematic industrial design that is deeply integrated with the industry.

Industry insiders pointed out that many Chinese enterprises still view industrial design as a post-stage beautification process, and the shortage of multidisciplinary talent remains a development bottleneck. Experts suggested deepening school-enterprise "order-based" talent cultivation, building industrial design zones, and promoting the integration of AI and industrial design to help the manufacturing industry improve quality and expand markets.
