On September 16, TCL Technology won the Fifth China Quality Award with its 'extreme, leading, collaborative' quality management model, becoming the only award-winning enterprise in Guangdong Province and the Greater Bay Area this session. This honor not only fully recognizes TCL's quality management system, but also reflects the deep empowerment and value of GETECH, the core force behind intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation, in industrial quality digital intelligence.

As a leading industrial intelligence enterprise strategically incubated by TCL, GETECH has long surpassed traditional 'software service providers' to become an AI-driven industrial intelligence solution provider deeply integrated with AI, industrial software, smart equipment, and industry know-how. Over the past seven years of accompanying TCL's digital transformation, it has accumulated rich quality management scenario cases.

In TCL CSOT's intelligent manufacturing system, GETECH achieved intelligent breakthroughs in quality inspection through the ADC automatic defect classification system and AOI automatic optical inspection equipment. Facing the pain points of numerous defect types, low judgment efficiency, and high reliance on manpower in the panel industry, GETECH's self-developed Dubhe-S200H intelligent visual inspection system, integrating deep learning and traditional algorithms, accurately captures subtle defects such as dots, lines, and Mura on screens, with a detection rate exceeding 95% and accuracy above 99%. The system seamlessly integrates with MES and SPC systems, enabling real-time data upload, analysis feedback, and closed-loop management, not only significantly improving inspection efficiency and consistency but also bringing tens of millions in annual benefits to TCL CSOT.

Additionally, the YMS yield management platform co-developed by GETECH and TCL CSOT has been successfully applied to 3 major production bases and 9 factories. By integrating yield-related defect data, equipment parameter data, and production history data into the platform, 111 functions under modules such as yield monitoring, defect analysis, and process analysis were developed, supporting yield management engineers in quickly locating yield anomalies and conducting multi-dimensional root cause analysis efficiently. Among them, YMS innovatively applies CTQ analysis methods, accumulating yield analysis case experience, laying a foundation for full-chain automatic monitoring and analysis in factories. Meanwhile, YMS integrates multi-factor analysis tools, big data analysis tools, and generative AI, breaking through traditional analysis methods to further enhance the possibility of identifying abnormal root causes in yield analysis. Compared to the old EDA system, YMS improves data query and analysis performance by over 3 times; reduces yield anomaly analysis time from 4 hours to 0.5 hours, improving efficiency by over 80%, with overall platform benefits reaching 13 million yuan.

At Zhonghuan Advanced's semiconductor material production stage, GETECH has established an end-to-end quality traceability system through its QMS quality management system platform. The solution addressed informatization gaps in "IQC Management," optimized the "Issue Management" module, and accelerated the construction of "Change Management," thereby enhancing the overall level of quality management informatization. This initiative promoted data sharing and improved collaboration efficiency by approximately 15%, while the optimized issue management module reduced annual quality losses by about RMB 100,000. Moreover, during the industry downturn, its quality stability earned long-term trust from semiconductor clients such as Ruijiewei.

In TCL TZE's photovoltaic module manufacturing sector, GETECH developed a management cockpit for quality data collaboration, traceability, and unification based on its mature self-developed QMS system, improving quality management efficiency by 20%. Notably, the 'Pathfinder' business analysis system created by GETECH for TCL TZE's photovoltaic business line extends from quality management to operational quality. By integrating data from MES, QMS, ERP, and other systems, it enables real-time monitoring and cross-factory benchmarking of key quality indicators such as breakage rate, conversion efficiency, and degradation rate. Managers can drill down from the group level to production lines, shifts, or even equipment levels, quickly identifying quality fluctuations and driving improvements. This system not only helped TCL TZE achieve refined management breakthroughs during industry slumps but also became a core engine promoting its transition from 'factory-level quality management' to 'group-level quality collaboration'.

At TCL's Smart Terminal division, GETECH's ADC and QMS systems serve as "AI-based Inspection Digital Workers" and "AI Quality Managers" respectively in the production processes of TCL air conditioners and home appliances.​​

GETECH's empowerment in quality management is reflected not only at the single technology or system level but also in deep integration and ecosystem building across the entire manufacturing process. From defect detection in TCL CSOT's panels to quality management in Zhonghuan Advanced's silicon wafers, and cross-base quality benchmarking in TCL TZE's photovoltaic industry, GETECH uses integrated software-hardware solutions like ADC, QMS, SPC, YMS, LIMS, and AOI to shift quality management from 'post-inspection' to 'real-time prevention' and from 'experience-driven' to 'data-driven', building a quality moat for TCL's manufacturing system.

TCL's winning of the China Quality Award is a significant milestone in the transformation from 'Made in China' to 'Quality Made in China', and the best recognition of GETECH's years of dedication to industrial quality digital intelligence. In the future, GETECH will continue to innovate in visual inspection, yield optimization, quality traceability, and other areas, helping TCL and even Chinese manufacturing enhance quality discourse power in global competition.
