Ningbo company supplies smart seats for Asian Winter Games

The ongoing 9th Asian Winter Games that are running to Feb 14 in Harbin – capital of Heilongjiang province – are showcasing cutting-edge Chinese innovation.

Contributing to the success of the event is Zhejiang Dafeng Industry Co Ltd, a leading manufacturer in Ningbo city in East China's Zhejiang province, which is said to be playing a key role in enhancing the event's infrastructure.

As a core partner of the Games, Dafeng has provided state-of-the-art solutions for the Harbin International Conference, Exhibition and Sports Center – including over 8,800 smart seats and a high-tech elevating camera platform.

These are seen as highlighting the company's focus on bringing advanced technology to world-class event venues.

The upgraded seating system has been installed using high-strength square tubes, replacing traditional materials and boosting weight-bearing capacity by 30 percent. Dafeng has also added automatic folding rods and reinforced steel structures, ensuring greater durability and safety of the seats.

To enhance their stability, the system features electric stabilization, which minimizes risks from any shaking, while aluminum perforated side panels and seamless covers provide a sleek, unified visual design.

Incorporating smart technology, the venue offers an intelligent navigation system that connects with outdoor maps – allowing spectators to quickly locate their seats and nearby facilities through their smartphones. This one-click navigation feature ensures a hassle-free experience for all attendees.

Sustainability is another priority for Dafeng, which has employed eco-friendly materials throughout. The aluminum alloy seating and flame-retardant floor mats are said to ensure formaldehyde-free emissions, while the polypropylene seats are weather-resistant, fire-retardant and certified for safety.

With its long track record of providing solutions for major international events like the Olympics and World Cup, Dafeng's contribution to the Asian Winter Games is viewed as reflecting an impressive leap from traditional manufacturing to intelligent, high-quality production – marking a new milestone in China's technological advancement.
