JINGDONG Industrials and Partners Launch Alliance to Strengthen Global Industrial Supply Chains
JINGDONG Industrials (JDi), JD.com’s industrial supply chain business, and industry partners launched the JDi Global Supply Chain Connectivity Alliance on October 14 at the China International Industry Fair in Shanghai. The initiative aims to connect manufacturers, customers and service partners through digital technology and international fulfilment networks, helping businesses improve sourcing and delivery across markets.
The alliance builds on JINGDONG Industrials’ growing international operations. The company has established a presence in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hungary, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, serving approximately 100 enterprises across sectors including automotive manufacturing, electronics and new energy. Its services support local and multinational businesses, as well as Chinese companies expanding internationally.
Local fulfilment is a key part of this approach. In Thailand, JINGDONG Industrials combines local sourcing, cross-border procurement and locally stocked inventory to meet different production needs. Orders fulfilled from stock held in Thailand can be delivered in two to three days, while cross-border orders typically take 25–35 days. These options help customers balance delivery speed, inventory needs and procurement costs.
At the accompanying international business forum, partners discussed how technology and closer collaboration could improve supply reliability. Chen Mo, Spare Parts Procurement Manager at Minth Group, highlighted the importance of connecting fragmented local demand with dependable global supply. He noted that Minth Group has worked with JINGDONG Industrials in Europe to address gaps in local sourcing and fulfilment, connect procurement systems, and reduce costs in selected product categories.
JINGDONG Industrials is also advancing the development and application of AI agents for customs clearance and warehousing, aiming to reduce routine administrative work across markets with different requirements. Alongside support for large enterprises, the company is extending its services to small and medium-sized businesses in international markets.
Through continued investment in local warehousing, distribution, and operations teams, JINGDONG Industrials aims to give customers and partners more reliable access to industrial products and services. The alliance provides a platform for further collaboration on these practical supply chain needs.

JINGDONG Industrials and AMD Partner to Bring AI to Factory Operations
JINGDONG Industrials and AMD signed a strategic cooperation agreement on October 13, 2026, to develop AI products and applications for factories, workshops, and other industrial environments. The partnership will combine JINGDONG Industrials’ industrial AI models and supply chain expertise with AMD’s high-performance computing technology to support equipment maintenance, quality inspection, and workplace safety.
Signed at the China International Industry Fair in Shanghai, the agreement includes adapting and jointly optimising JINGDONG Industrials’ JoyIndustrial model for AMD Ryzen AI Max Series processors. The companies aim to enable industrial AI models to run directly on devices at operational sites, supporting faster responses, improved data security and greater operational flexibility.
Planned applications include predictive equipment maintenance, visual quality inspection, safety inspections, production scheduling and supply chain collaboration. The companies will jointly develop, validate and demonstrate solutions to support wider adoption by industrial customers.
The partnership will also explore industrial world models – AI models designed to understand operating environments and anticipate how conditions may change. This work will combine JINGDONG Industrials’ industrial data and operational expertise with AMD’s computing and edge deployment capabilities. Potential applications include anticipating collision risks in factories and warehouses by analyzing vehicle trajectories, worker movements and surrounding conditions.
“By working closely with AMD on collaborative optimization, we will significantly strengthen our AI service capabilities and the real-world value we deliver to the industrial sector,” said Peinuan Wang, CEO of JINGDONG Industrials.
“This partnership represents a leading new paradigm for industrial intelligence that both parties are exploring together — moving AI beyond seeing and recognizing to understanding, reasoning, and predicting in real production environments,” said Spencer Pan, Senior Vice President and President of Greater China at AMD.
The companies also plan to provide AI products, application solutions and services to multinational corporations, international businesses and Chinese companies expanding globally, drawing on JINGDONG Industrials’ sales channels and customer network.

JINGDONG Industrials Highlights AI and Local Supply Chains at World Economic Forum ASEAN Digital Economy Dialogue
JINGDONG Industrials (also known as JD Industrials), the industrial supply chain technology and service provider under JD.com, joined government and business leaders in Manila on September 19 for the World Economic Forum’s Business Dialogue on ASEAN’s Digital Economy 2026. The event offered an opportunity to share perspectives on how AI, localized supply chains and talent development can support the region’s digital transformation.
Peter Chen, Head of JINGDONG Industrials Asia Pacific, participated in the high-level panel “ASEAN Digital Economy 2026: From Vision to Implementation”. The discussion explored how public- and private-sector collaboration can translate ASEAN’s digital ambitions into tangible outcomes for businesses and the wider economy. His main argument was that technology brings the most value when it is applied to real-world problems. AI becomes meaningful when it reaches warehouses, customs processes, small businesses and other everyday parts of the economy.
Chen also exchanged perspectives with senior government and business representatives during the programme on the development of ASEAN’s digital economy and opportunities for deeper regional collaboration.
Bringing AI into Real-World Supply Chains
For JINGDONG Industrials, the value of AI lies not simply in advances in model capabilities, but in how effectively the technology can be integrated into real business operations.
The company is applying AI across industrial supply chain scenarios including procurement, production planning, equipment maintenance, warehousing, transportation and quality management. Its recently upgraded JoyIndustrial 2.0 industrial foundation model supports an AI application framework spanning different stages of procurement, helping businesses improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
As AI is increasingly woven into industrial operations, Chen noted that technology needs to work alongside supply chain expertise and a strong understanding of local business environments. “Localization is not about simply replicating a model from another market. It is about building capabilities with local partners, developing local talent and strengthening local supply chains, while improving the transparency and connectivity of the broader network,” he said.
Building Supply Chains Around Local Needs
JINGDONG Industrials has been expanding its local supply chain and service capabilities across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, serving businesses in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, electrical equipment, energy and automotive components.
In Thailand, for example, the company has developed multiple fulfillment models to accommodate different procurement needs. Locally sourced products can be delivered through local supply channels, while longer-cycle procurement can draw on a broader sourcing network. For more time-sensitive requirements, locally stocked inventory can support delivery within two to three days. Its inventory facility in the Laem Chabang port area also provides proximity to key industrial areas, with materials able to reach Rayong in around one hour and the Bangkok area in around two hours.
This localized approach extends beyond logistics and fulfillment. JINGDONG Industrials is also working to strengthen local partnerships and develop local teams as its business grows across the region.
“As we grow internationally, our goal is to become part of the local business ecosystem,” Chen said. “That means working with local partners, building local supply chain and fulfillment capabilities, and investing in local talent. Southeast Asia has an impressive pool of young talent, and developing those capabilities locally will be important for the region’s long-term industrial growth.”
Contributing to ASEAN’s Digital Economy Dialogue
The World Economic Forum’s Manila dialogue brought together around 150 senior representatives from governments, businesses, international organizations, civil society and academia to explore how ASEAN can turn its digital ambitions into practical outcomes. The programme also featured the launch of the ASEAN Digital Economy Outlook 2026 and discussions on the implementation of the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA), AI and digital trade, MSME participation, interoperability and digital trust, with a broader focus on strengthening regional connectivity and building a more integrated and inclusive digital economy.
JINGDONG Industrials’ participation reflects its continued focus on Southeast Asia as an important long-term market and its commitment to engaging in regional conversations on digitalization, supply chains and industrial development.
As ASEAN moves from digital ambition toward implementation, JINGDONG Industrials will continue to engage with local businesses, partners and stakeholders, while investing in local capabilities, partnerships and technology applications that respond to the practical needs of businesses across the region.
