The manufacturing industry emphasizes pragmatism. The driving force behind Jixun's continuous transformation of intelligent manufacturing remains centered on the essence of manufacturing: improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency. Lean management alone cannot solve all problems. Jixun's engineering R&D team, combining its own manufacturing characteristics, develops new intelligent manufacturing equipment and various non-standard automated equipment to meet the needs of the factory. This is supplemented by advanced algorithms applied in automated equipment and processes, etc.

Looking back over the past 20 years of development, Jixun's manufacturing has transitioned from the Information Age to the Digital Data Age. Jixun transforms information into data, using data analysis as a basis to stimulate productivity. The current manufacturing center has achieved practical applications in intelligent detection, quality optimization, energy consumption optimization, and intelligent design.

Sustainable and Green Jixun

A standard-capacity ink cartridge, 11.4 x 3.6 x 10.3cm, 54.4g, can print approximately 120 pages. When the printer indicates that the ink is empty, there is still residual ink in the cartridge. However, improper disposal can lead to 60m³ of water being polluted by a single drop of ink, and landfill disposal results in land that cannot be degraded for 100 years. Jixun's recycled ink cartridge manufacturing, through recycling and remanufacturing, gives waste ink cartridges a new lease on life, providing global users with environmentally friendly, reliable, and economical consumables, achieving the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle of the circular economy (Circular Economy).

The market space for circular economy and remanufacturing economy is continuously expanding. According to the latest data, the scale of China's circular economy market has reached approximately 3.5 trillion yuan ¹ , and is expected to continue to grow in the next few years. The recycled ink cartridge market has become a habitual choice for overseas users. According to data companies, the size of China's ink cartridge market in 2023 was approximately US$400 million, while the global ink cartridge market was approximately US$10.2 billion. With the increasing popularity of printers in China, recycled ink cartridges will also become a cost-effective choice for home office users.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are of great significance to environmental protection. They reduce waste generation, lower the consumption of natural resources and environmental pollution, and reduce carbon emissions, helping to address global climate change. The act of consuming and using remanufactured ink cartridges also promotes the overall development of society towards a more sustainable direction.

The economic and social value behind Jixun's remanufactured ink cartridges is enormous. By reducing costs, promoting employment, protecting the environment, and promoting innovation, remanufactured ink cartridges not only meet market demand but also make significant contributions to the sustainable development of society.

A 23-year-old company is a relatively mature young enterprise, possessing mature judgment and youthful vitality. Jixun Technology still holds an active heart, observing the business world with curious eyes, using a calm mind to perceive market changes, feeling the needs of customers with care, and moving forward with unwavering determination in its pursuit of excellence.
