Today, January 12, 2026, we manufactured 1,800 baby walkers and 9,805 children’s scooters.

On January 12, 2026, a children’s products manufacturing base located in the Yangtze River Delta economic zone experienced a highly efficient and well-organized production peak. On that day, the factory’s two core production lines operated at full capacity, completing a total of 1,800 baby walkers and 9,805 children’s scooters—setting a new record for daily production output. This impressive figure not only highlights the company’s rapid responsiveness to the pre-Spring Festival consumption boom but also reflects the remarkable progress made by China’s children’s products industry in its smart transformation.

Precision collaboration on the production line

At 6 a.m., the factory’s intelligent warehousing system had already automatically allocated raw materials according to the production schedule. In the baby walker assembly workshop, robotic arms precisely picked up eco-friendly plastic pellets and quickly molded them into frame components using a 3D injection-molding process. Meanwhile, on the other side of the assembly line, workers and collaborative robots worked seamlessly together, carefully installing components such as non-slip foot pads and adjustable seats one by one. Every 12 seconds, a baby walker was fully assembled; after being scanned by a laser inspection device to confirm its quality, it was then conveyed to the packaging area.

The production of children’s scooters presents a completely different picture. After the aluminum alloy frame is precisely cut using CNC machine tools, it moves on to an automated spraying line. This line uses water-based, environmentally friendly paints that can cure three coats within just 80 seconds, ensuring vibrant colors while also meeting the EU EN71 safety standards. During the final assembly stage, an intelligent sorting system accurately delivers wheel sets and brake pads of various specifications to the workstations; workers only need to complete the final assembly. Among the scooters produced that day, 32% were high-end models equipped with smart suspension systems. These products feature built-in sensors that allow real-time adjustment of shock-absorption intensity, perfectly catering to the diverse usage needs of children aged 3 to 8 in different scenarios.

Technology-driven capacity leap

This breakthrough in production records is the result of the company’s three-year ongoing smart transformation. According to the factory manager, by introducing an industrial internet platform, production equipment has achieved data interconnection. For example, temperature and pressure parameters from injection molding machines can be uploaded to the cloud in real time, and an AI system automatically optimizes processes by analyzing historical data, boosting the product pass rate from 92% to 98.7%. In the logistics segment, a smart transportation network composed of AGV vehicles now covers the entire factory, increasing material handling efficiency by 40% compared to the traditional model.

Even more noteworthy is the application of flexible production lines. In the scooter workshop, the same production line can quickly switch between manufacturing products of different sizes—from 12 inches to 20 inches. This flexibility enables companies to dynamically adjust their production schedules based on real-time order data from e-commerce platforms. Data shows that among the 9,805 scooters produced that day, 65% were customized with color schemes tailored to pre-sale orders placed two days earlier, truly achieving “production driven by sales.”

Precise insight into market demand

Behind the production data lies a profound transformation in the consumer market. According to industry analysis, as the effects of the three-child policy become increasingly evident, China’s population aged 0-6 is projected to surpass 120 million by 2025, driving an average annual growth rate of 12% in the related product market. Among these products, demand for baby walkers is showing a polarized trend: basic models cater primarily to safety needs, while high-end models integrate early childhood education features, such as built-in music players and slots for cognitive flashcards. Of the 1,800 walkers produced that day, smart models accounted for 58%, an increase of 23 percentage points compared to the same period last year.

The children’s scooter market is showing a trend toward personalization. In addition to the traditional single- and double-wheeled designs, niche segments such as portable models with folding mechanisms, adjustable-height growth models, and trendy models equipped with LED light strips are steadily gaining popularity. According to research conducted by corporate marketing departments, parents born in the 1990s are more willing to pay for products that combine both aesthetic appeal and functionality. This has prompted companies to shorten their design cycles from six months to three months and to establish co-creation platforms that enable consumers to participate in product iteration.

Practical Exploration of Green Manufacturing

While achieving record-high production capacity, the factory consistently puts the concept of sustainable development into practice. All production lines are powered by solar energy, and the 11,605 units produced on that day consumed a total of 4,200 kilowatt-hours of clean energy, reducing carbon emissions by 2.3 tons. In terms of material selection, the walker’s body is made from biodegradable cornstarch plastic, and honeycomb cardboard has replaced foam in the scooter’s packaging boxes, reducing packaging waste per unit by 65%.

Even more noteworthy is the establishment of a circular economy model. The factory has partnered with the surrounding community to set up toy recycling stations, where aluminum alloy frames from old scooters are collected and remelted. This initiative saves over one million yuan in raw material costs each year. This closed-loop system—“produce-use-recycle”—not only reduces environmental impact but also creates new avenues for profit growth.

Looking back from the vantage point of 2026, the production of 11,605 children’s products that day was not merely a numerical leap—it was also a vivid testament to China’s manufacturing sector as it undergoes transformation and upgrading. As smart technologies meet user-friendly designs, and as green principles resonate with market demands, China’s children’s products industry is steadily advancing toward higher positions in the global value chain.
