I. Authoritative Spotlight: China's Largest Automotive-Grade Testing Center
Recently, Awinic, a leading Chinese analog and mixed-signal company, prominently featured its Automotive-Grade Experimental Testing Center—located in the "Oriental Chip Port" of Shanghai's Lingang New Area—on authoritative media outlets including Dragon TV and Kankan News. Positioned as an industry benchmark, this center is dedicated to creating a fully automated, unmanned factory for automotive-grade chip testing and a lighthouse factory for intelligent manufacturing. It stands as China's largest and most highly automated experimental testing platform for automotive-grade chips. This media focus represents significant recognition and authoritative endorsement from mainstream media of Awinic's automotive-grade chip testing strategy, technological innovation strength, and industrial value, sparking widespread industry attention. Currently in the final stages of completion and acceptance, the center is scheduled to officially begin production this June. This "Ink Bottle" landmark by the East China Sea will use its full-process intelligent testing capabilities to solidify the quality foundation for the domestic automotive-grade chip industry, marking a landmark project in upgrading China's high-end automotive-grade chip testing capabilities.
Upon operation, the center's business scope will be diverse, covering not only automotive-grade product testing but also comprehensively serving consumer electronics, industrial applications, and automotive sectors. It will meet the testing needs for various supporting chips, including those for edge AI, embodied intelligence, communications, industrial control, pan-energy, and vehicle-mounted systems.
The center boasts full-chain professional service capabilities. Leveraging three core hardware advantages—self-developed testers, automated test robots, and an automated packaging workshop—it can conduct chip test solution development and engineering validation, full-process wafer and finished product mass production testing, reliability verification and certification compliant with AECQ and JEDEC standards, and integrated circuit material structure and failure competitive analysis. Additionally, it provides comprehensive AI smart manufacturing solutions, including lights-out unmanned production lines, full-domain IoT device management, and fully automated laboratory testing, ensuring high-standard, quality testing and delivery for various chips through full-process digital, intelligent, and unmanned control.

II. "Ink Bottle" Goes Viral: Benchmark for Automated Automotive-Grade Testing
This testing platform, China's largest and most highly automated for automotive-grade chips, is situated in the Lingang New Area. Designed with the concept of "round sky, square earth," its overall silhouette resembles an exquisite "ink bottle," making it a highly recognizable new landmark for the chip industry in the "Oriental Chip Port" and a key Lingang integrated circuit project highlighted by major media. With a total investment of approximately 900 million yuan and a construction area exceeding 110,000 square meters, this center is Awinic's core infrastructure for its expansion into the automotive electronics sector.

III. Precision Construction: Laying a Solid Foundation for Smart Manufacturing
To meet the extreme precision requirements of chip testing, the project team innovatively adopted a "three-measurement, three-acceptance" high-precision process during construction, enabling the installation and stable operation of large-scale precision testing equipment. Furthermore, leveraging its three core hardware advantages—self-developed testers, automated test robots, and an automated packaging workshop—Awinic solidifies the hardware foundation for the intelligent, unmanned operation of its fully automated unmanned factory and lighthouse factory.
IV. Dual Excellence in Process & Certification: Authoritative Backing Strengthens the Foundation
The high-standard implementation of hardware facilities relies heavily on a robust, full-process quality system. In 2023, Awinic successfully passed the audit certification of TUV NORD, a German authority, obtaining the IATF 16949:2016 Quality Management System Conformity Declaration Certificate. This achievement signifies that Awinic's full-process quality management system for automotive-grade products fully meets the stringent quality standards of the automotive industry. It also grants Awinic the authoritative "passport" to formally enter the automotive market, creating a dual-strength guarantee of "hardware + system" alongside the new testing center.

As China's largest and most highly automated testing platform for automotive-grade chips, Awinic continues to strategically invest in its automotive-grade product platform development. Leveraging intelligent core equipment such as self-developed testers, automated test robots, and automated packaging workshops, Awinic is building a full-process quality management system, developing world-class reliability and failure analysis labs, establishing an automotive-grade testing center, and deepening strategic supply chain collaborations to comprehensively strengthen its core competitiveness in automotive-grade products.
The center covers the entire chain of testing capabilities, including wafer testing, finished product automotive-grade three-temperature testing, failure analysis, and reliability certification, comprehensively addressing the shortcomings in high-end automotive-grade chip testing and verification. Once the project reaches full capacity, its annual chip testing volume can reach 30 to 50 billion units. In the future, vehicle-mounted chips for numerous domestic automotive brands will undergo rigorous testing here before being installed in vehicles, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of automotive electronics.
V. A 'Chip' for the Future: A Massive Platform Driving High-Quality Development
Leveraging the industry advantages of being China's largest and most highly automated automotive-grade chip testing facility, and relying on its self-developed testers, automated test robots, and automated packaging workshop, Awinic's new testing center will further perfect the entire chip industry chain layout, helping the "Oriental Chip Port" become a new hub for domestic chip testing and validation.
As a leading Chinese analog and mixed-signal company, Awinic consistently adheres to the principles of "technology-driven enterprise, innovation-led development," continuously deepening its focus on core areas such as automotive electronics and high-end chip testing.
The prominent media coverage of this "Ink Bottle" testing center serves as significant recognition of the project's hardware strength, intelligent manufacturing capabilities, and industry position, and marks an important milestone in the company's push into the automotive-grade chip sector. Looking ahead, Awinic will take this testing center as a new starting point to continuously strengthen its technological innovation and industrial support capabilities, supporting the autonomy and control of high-end domestic chips with formidable testing strength, and injecting powerful 'chip' momentum into the intelligent, high-quality development of China's automotive electronics industry!
