In recent years, innovative achievements in light industry have continuously emerged, with new technologies, equipment, materials, and products accelerating their upgrading and iteration, driving the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. The China Light Industry Federation has continuously strengthened the authority and credibility of scientific and technological achievement appraisal work, providing protection for the transformation and promotion of scientific and technological achievements. After review and recommendation by national light industry associations and societies, local provincial light industry associations, and industry experts, in the first quarter of 2025, the China Light Industry Federation organized experts to identify 55 achievements, involving industries such as home appliances, hardware, food, papermaking, lighting appliances, ceramics, bicycles, plastics, leather, batteries, and light industry machinery. Some typical achievements are introduced as follows:

Innovation and upgrading services to meet the needs of a better life: Qingdao Haier Washing Machine Co., Ltd. takes the lead in pioneering an integrated three drum washing machine in the industry, achieving precise operation and balance control of multi-mode washing, and solving the pain point of users who cannot classify and wash different clothes together. This product was first launched at the China Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE) hosted by the China Household Appliances Association in March, with high market attention. Since its delivery, the product has received high praise from customers. Beijing Technology and Business University, in collaboration with Yili Group, has developed a sensory preference intelligent recognition system based on the dual orientation of flavor and health to enhance the functional quality of infant formula. They have also developed a synergistic formula of prebiotics and probiotics, as well as a nutritional enhancement technology based on oligosaccharide synergistic calcium source optimization. This has achieved a two-way improvement in flavor perception and nutrient absorption. Hengdian Group Debang Lighting Co., Ltd. has broken through the technology of multi-color control and adjustment, and developed PAR lamps that achieve convenient control of color temperature, brightness, and beam angle, as well as waterproof function. They have a wide range of application prospects in indoor and outdoor scenarios such as commercial, industrial, and home.

Key components to solve urgent and difficult problems: Guangdong Meizhi Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. took the lead in innovatively adopting electromagnetic loss balancing and leakage suppression methods to overcome the energy efficiency attenuation problem of 15 slot 10 pole permanent magnet motors in the process of power density improvement. While improving motor power density and efficiency, it also achieved a 28% reduction in rare earth usage; Improved the high-frequency operation stability of the compressor system, while also improving vibration and noise. The application areas cover high-efficiency variable frequency air conditioning, heat pump water heaters, dehumidifiers, dryers, and other variable frequency compressor scenarios. Guangdong Luofandi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a super high torque automatic internal transmission for electric assisted bicycles, which has overcome technical challenges such as intelligent shifting, easy jamming in high load scenarios, and the contradiction between small size and high torque of the transmission, significantly improving the transmission performance and riding comfort of bicycles.

Biological manufacturing innovates traditional production methods: Wuhan Yuanda Hongyuan Co., Ltd., in collaboration with key universities and upstream and downstream enterprises, has innovated a high-end amino acid breeding technology system and metabolic regulation methods. It has developed a fermentation multi parameter collection and precise control method for high-end amino acids, achieving large-scale production of glutamine, cysteine monohydrate, histidine, as well as cysteine dihydrate and cysteine, breaking foreign monopolies and meeting the industrial application requirements of cell culture media for antibody drug production. Under the leadership of Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the continuous catalytic technology of immobilized enzyme with high load and high reuse has been developed, which has greatly improved the industrial application performance and production efficiency of enzyme, achieved the production model of annual co production of D-aloxose and gluconic acid/lactone, and reduced costs and increased efficiency.
