Introduction: "The battle cry has sounded, and a new journey has officially begun!" At the start of 2026, Lingbang Intelligent's "2026 Decisive Battle for Visual Intelligent Agents" annual meeting concluded in a vibrant atmosphere. As our special consultant, Professor Gao from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, shared insightful observations at the meeting: the reason Chinese companies can shake the world is precisely because of the new era entrepreneurial spirit of "not blindly following authority, pursuing excellence, and aligning with national and familial goals." This was not only a year-end summary but also a mobilization for the future. Upholding this spirit of daring to confront industry pain points, Lingbang Intelligent, from its absolute leadership in the rare earth field, is comprehensively penetrating the four core tracks of home appliances, pharmaceuticals, food, and automobiles, launching its decisive year for industrial visual intelligence with "visual intelligent agents" at its core. In his keynote speech, Cui, CEO of Lingbang Intelligent, pointed out that we are at the center of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In the past, the industrial vision industry was mired in the quagmire of "the amount of intelligence is determined by the amount of human labor"; today, the Vision Agent will completely end this history.
