On November 30, 2024, LinkedData celebrates its 8th anniversary.

For eight years, we have grown from a startup team into a renowned smart factory solutions provider in China, dedicated to enhancing manufacturing efficiency and driving digital transformation. Despite a challenging global environment, we’ve maintained steady progress by leveraging our technological expertise and industry insights, quickly adapting to client needs, and driving innovation in smart manufacturing.

In 2016, LinkedData embarked on its journey as “Boze Smart Manufacturing,” initially focusing on equipment efficiency optimization software (DigitalSMC). These early partnerships fostered trust and built a foundation for future growth.

By 2023, we rebranded to “LinkedData,” symbolizing our mission of achieving “zero loss, zero inventory, and zero defects” in manufacturing while introducing a modern identity to our vision.

The English name “LinkedData” reflects our founder, Mr. Jianhai Xiang’s vision to connect data across value chains, breaking “data silos” and unlocking seamless collaboration. This approach not only optimizes internal manufacturing processes but also promotes supply chain coordination and transparency, delivering end-to-end efficiency and value enhancement.
