　　Entering the intelligent monitoring room of Gansu Kaiqier New Building Materials Co., Ltd., the LED large screen clearly displays the location and driving trajectories of transport vehicles. Dispatchers view the production status and operating conditions of mixing equipment from multiple angles and in all directions, and relevant data are constantly updated.
　　"The ** production line introduced and put into use by the company, from material entry, to proportioning and mixing, to loading transport vehicles and dispatching them to various project construction sites, is under full intelligent control throughout the process," said Bai Yanlong, laboratory director of Gansu Kaiqier New Building Materials Co., Ltd.
　　The company is a private enterprise attracted to Xifeng District. It was officially put into production in October 2023 and mainly sells cement products, commercial concrete, and building waterproofing membranes. At present, it mainly supplies the city's "Longdong Power Transmission to Shandong" and "Eastern Data, Western Computing" projects.
　　This year, Xifeng District has continued to make efforts in strengthening entity cultivation, advancing technological breakthroughs, creating achievement transformation, stimulating talent vitality, and extending service chains.

　　In the product exhibition area of Gansu Qicheng Derui Integrated Housing Development Co., Ltd., rows of prefabricated houses are eye-catching. The bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms in the rooms are rationally laid out and fully equipped. The wall materials of these houses are "transformed" from industrial solid waste.
　　"The new wall materials we produce mainly use industrial waste such as furnace slag, steel slag, and fly ash as raw materials, and have characteristics such as light weight, thermal insulation, heat insulation, and strong impact resistance," said Duan Jinhu, general manager of Gansu Qicheng Derui Group Housing Development Co., Ltd.
　　It is understood that the company is a *** high-tech enterprise integrating the entire industry chain of housing R&D, design, production, sales, construction, and service. While continuously increasing investment in scientific research and promoting the development of the prefabricated construction industry toward energy conservation, low carbon, and green recycling, the company is accelerating the digital transformation and upgrading of management, production, and equipment.
　　Up to now, Xifeng District has a cumulative total of 38 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises in the database and has created 21 provincial-level innovative small and medium-sized enterprises.
