Smart Weighing, Trusted Precision

Hengyang, Hunan, draws its name from the character Heng (meaning "to weigh"), signaling a thousand-year bond with the science of metrology.

This deep-seated heritage has forged the city's identity—one rooted in a steadfast commitment to precision and the protection of fairness.

Today, the Hengyang Intelligent Weighing Apparatus and Metrology Industrial Park has become a hub for enterprises and experts dedicated to measurement technology. By establishing technological benchmarks and ensuring fairness through precision, they help safeguard people's daily lives.

As the saying goes, "Food is the first necessity of the people, and safety is the first necessity of food." Hu Longyong, General Manager of Hunan Xiongchang Technology, explained that the company's world-leading "16-in-1" rapid pesticide residue test card can simultaneously detect 16 types of pesticide residues. This innovation builds a robust safety barrier across the entire supply chain.

Beyond food safety, fair trade is equally vital. "Traditional price-computing scales only performed basic weighing, and some merchants would modify these scales," said Wang Zhiyong, General Manager of Hunan Fennuo Electronics. To address this pain point, the company launched an intelligent, networked scale. Equipped with electronic seals at the factory, any attempt to open the casing triggers an instant lock and an alert, making grocery weighing more transparent.

Furthermore, Hunan Biaoyang Technology Co., Ltd. established a presence at the Hengyang Intelligent Weighing Apparatus and Metrology Industrial Park by the end of 2025, becoming the province's first homegrown enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of secondary reference materials.

With the power of technology, Hengyang is fulfilling the simple yet profound aspirations of its people: to eat safely, trade fairly, and live with peace of mind.
