When the AI wave sweeps across the internet and AI has evolved from passive response to proactive work, is the management model of home furnishing manufacturing still struggling in the mire of person-to-person supervision?

On March 19, the 32nd private board meeting of Soonfor Academy gave a resounding answer at the Dongguan headquarters. With AI-era intelligent manufacturing upgrade as its core theme, the event brought together decision-makers from home furnishing enterprises to jointly explore the key to certain growth from strategic top-level design to full-chain digitalization.

Climb high and look far

Seeing the future between the sand table and the factory

At the beginning of the event, the entrepreneurs stepped into a photoelectric three-dimensional enterprise operation sand table built with light, shadow, and models. Here, digitalization was no longer an abstract concept, but a vivid picture of overall enterprise operations, helping guests examine the overall planning logic of digital factories from a higher vantage point.

In the case display area and home furnishing experience showroom, entrepreneurs saw how peer home furnishing enterprises use digital systems to achieve the leap from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, gaining deep insight into the profound industry value and digital wisdom accumulated by Soonfor Software through its long-term focus on the home furnishing field.

Moving to the principle factory C2M intelligent order intake to intelligent manufacturing delivery experience area, guests experienced a real unmanned factory scene covering the full process from customer ordering to flexible production and intelligent outbound delivery, looking at the present with the future in sight and personally experiencing the user-centered intelligent manufacturing future driven by data.

Break through and rebuild

Understanding the essence through mindset reconstruction

Digital transformation depends on top-level design.

In the core sharing session, Mr. Zhang Aiguo, founder of Soonfor Software and visiting professor at Central South University of Forestry and Technology, delivered a major course titled Top-Level Thinking for Digitalization in Home Furnishing Enterprises. He emphasized that opportunities in the AI era are by no means only tool upgrades, but reconstruction at the strategic level.

Professor Zhang systematically analyzed the ultimate management model and construction path of digital factories from four dimensions: strategy, organization, process, and data. He guided entrepreneurs to redefine business logic from an overall perspective, while applause and note-taking intertwined on site and sparks of thought appeared frequently.

Later, in the lighthouse case analysis session, Mr. Lai Yuxiang of Soonfor Software used practical breakdowns of benchmark enterprises to reveal the key elements of successful transformation and reusable solutions.

In the themed sharing on AI-driven intelligent manufacturing upgrades, Ms. Zhou Lijuan of Soonfor Software brought a presentation titled Implementation Applications of AI in Home Furnishing Intelligent Manufacturing. She demonstrated several applications already realized in the furniture industry, such as AI lock recognition, AI tool recognition, AI order splitting and order review, and AI order entry. These can greatly improve efficiency and reduce error rates. She said: AI will become increasingly powerful in the future, and what we need to do now is build our own digital foundation and keep pace with the times, allowing AI to truly empower the production frontline. To deepen on-site experience and practical understanding, the AI product manager used live demonstrations to provide an in-depth analysis of the core functions and application scenarios of AI tools.

Co-create and coexist

Igniting wisdom through brainstorming

The finale of the event, a closed-door brainstorming session, pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

The entrepreneurs directly confronted their toughest production management pain points, proposed well-considered solutions, and accepted multi-dimensional diagnosis from peers and experts. Guided by Mr. Zhang Aiguo, the discussion advanced layer by layer in height, breadth, and depth. There were intense exchanges of views as well as moments of sudden clarity and knowing smiles. This was no longer just a learning session, but had been elevated into a high-trust industrial think-tank circle, achieving true wisdom sharing and co-creation.

As Mr. Zhang Aiguo said, digital transformation is not a choice question, but a survival question. In half a day, from refreshed cognition to clarified paths, the guests not only took away a clear blueprint for intelligent manufacturing upgrades in the AI era, but also found the certain power that will keep them from falling behind over the next five years.

So far, Soonfor Academy private board meetings have attracted more than 1,500 chairmen and general managers from home furnishing enterprises. In the future, Soonfor Software will continue to use its professional strength to build a deep empowerment platform, accompanying more enterprises as they draw new blueprints for intelligent manufacturing amid waves of transformation and light up digital lighthouses for the industry.
