On September 4, 2026, LYNCCN welcomed participants from the Tsinghua New Huishang AI Class to our manufacturing facility for a day of factory visits, technical discussions and idea sharing.
The topic was AI and digital manufacturing, but the conversation quickly came back to something very practical: how can new technologies help manufacturers make better products and serve customers more efficiently?
For LYNCCN, this is also the question that matters most.
As a manufacturer of press brake tooling, industrial blades and related tooling solutions, we believe smart manufacturing should not simply be about adding more software or automation. The real value is using technology to improve production visibility, process consistency, quality control and the ability to respond to different customer requirements.

From tooling design to the production floor
During the visit, our team introduced the development of LYNCCN, our main product lines and the manufacturing processes behind our CNC press brake tooling.
The visiting group also toured our information center and production workshop, where they had a closer look at how a tooling project moves from an initial requirement to a finished product.
For customers ordering custom press brake tooling, every project can be different. Press brake model, tooling system, material thickness, bending angle, part profile and production quantity can all influence the final tooling design.
That is why our manufacturing process starts with understanding the application. From tooling design and material selection to precision machining, heat treatment, inspection and final delivery, each stage needs to work together.
The factory visit gave us a good opportunity to discuss how digital tools and AI may support these processes in the future.
What can AI bring to press brake tooling manufacturing?
AI is developing quickly, but in precision manufacturing, we believe practical value matters more than simply following a trend.
For a press brake tooling manufacturer, potential applications of AI and digital technologies can include better production data management, faster access to technical information, improved process coordination and more efficient analysis of manufacturing requirements.
Over time, these technologies may also help engineering and production teams manage increasingly customized orders more efficiently.
For overseas buyers, the value is easier to understand: when a supplier has clearer processes and better information management, communication can become smoother and manufacturing decisions can be made with more complete information.
Technology should ultimately help us provide more reliable press brake tools and better technical support, rather than becoming technology for technology’s sake.
Learning from each other
One of the most valuable parts of the visit was the exchange of ideas.
Our guests were able to see the realities of precision tooling production on the factory floor, while their perspectives on AI and digital transformation gave our team new ideas about how manufacturing processes may continue to evolve.
For us, smart manufacturing is not a single project that can be completed overnight. It is an ongoing process of improving how we design, manufacture, inspect and manage our products.
Moving toward smarter and more reliable manufacturing
Looking ahead, LYNCCN will continue to explore practical ways to combine AI, digital manufacturing and precision tooling production.
At the same time, the fundamentals will remain unchanged: understanding customer requirements, maintaining stable quality and manufacturing tooling that performs reliably in real production.
Whether a customer needs standard press brake punches and dies, Wila/Trumpf style tooling, Amada style tooling or a completely custom press brake tooling solution, our goal is to make the process clearer, more efficient and easier to work with.
For us, that is what smart manufacturing is really about — using better technology to solve real manufacturing problems and create more value for our customers.
