JD Industrials Unveils “Joy industrial” – The First AI Model Designed for Industrial Supply Chain Transformation
On May 22, JD Industrials, also known as JINGDONG Industrials, a leading digital supply chain technology and service provider under JD.com, announced the launch of “Joy industrial,” a groundbreaking AI model engineered specifically to optimize industrial supply chains. This comprehensive AI solution spans computing infrastructure, algorithms, and practical applications to help businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency, ensure compliance, and strengthen supply chain resilience.
Deep Focus on Industrial Domain
Joy industrial introduces a suite of specialized AI agents tailored for industrial environments. For example, on the supply side, its Demand Agent, Operations Agent, and Customs Agent automate and refine supplier workflows, while enterprise buyers benefit from the Product Expert and Integration Expert tools, which streamline procurement and system integration. The model is initially being deployed in sectors with complex coordination challenges, including automotive (covering both electric vehicles and aftermarket services), robotics, oil and gas, and power grid operations.
Dr. He Xiaodong, Deputy Director of JD Explore Academy and President of JD Technology AI, emphasized the practical foundation of Joy industrial: “Industrial AI must solve real business problems, not just showcase technical capabilities. Unlike generic AI models, Joy industrial is trained on proprietary supply chain data; 30% of its knowledge base comes directly from JD’s ecosystem of over 10 million industrial SKUs and 8 million enterprise clients, giving it unmatched industry applicability.”
Redefining Supply Chain Efficiency
Joy industrial represents a major advancement in supply chain technology. The solution has the ability to interpret complex industrial data such as product categories and technical specifications, with self-improving architecture that learns from real-world applications, and scalable implementation ranging from task automation to enterprise-wide coordination.
“This technology will not only optimize current processes, it will fundamentally reshape how industrial supply chains operate,” said Gu Yingkun, Vice President of JD Industrials and General Manager of its Industrial Technology Department.
Early adopters have already reported transformative results. The Demand Agent reduces procurement matching time from 48 hours to mere hours, delivering a 140% efficiency gain through instant analysis of historical procurement records. The Operations Agent cuts compliance costs by 33.2% while detecting and blocking 75% of fraudulent orders. For manufacturers operating across borders, the Customs Agent accelerates documentation processing by 40% to 66%, significantly reducing administrative delays.
A Complete AI Solution for Industry
Alongside the large language model launch, JD Industrials introduced its Industrial AI All-in-One Machine, a ready-to-deploy hardware solution preloaded with supply chain optimization modules. This turnkey offering ensures businesses can quickly integrate AI capabilities into their operations without extensive setup.
“The AI era is here and is fundamentally reshaping industrial supply chains,” said Gu Yingkun. “At JD Industrials, we’re committed to developing AI solutions that bridge the gap between technological potential and real-world industrial impact. Our Joy industrial model represents this commitment, delivering measurable efficiency gains while accelerating the transition to next-generation industrial ecosystems.”
