Through democratic elections, the new council and supervisory board were elected, and Guangzhou Siquande Lighting was honored to be chosen as the vice president of the 6th Guangdong Performing Arts Industry Association.
The conference was chaired by Wang Haibing, the secretary-general of the association, with Zeng Xiaofeng, a member of the Party leadership group and deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, as well as leaders from various relevant departments, in attendance to provide guidance. In his speech, Deputy Director Zeng Xiaofeng put forward three requirements regarding the development of the industry; the first of these was to strictly adhere to safety standards, ensure proper safety measures during performances, and enforce the primary responsibilities of enterprises in this regard.
With its independently developed Guang’an Zhiwei system, Siquande upholds the industry’s standards for safety. The \"Guang’an Zhiwei Intelligent Visual Lighting Management System\" created by Siquande was designed to meet the needs related to safety control in stage performances, and it is in line with the safety standards advocated by relevant associations. This system helps the industry fulfill its responsibilities regarding safe production, and it offers digital solutions to various operational challenges such as equipment inspection and fault resolution. To address the long-standing issues in lighting networks – namely difficulty in seeing the status of equipment, inability to locate problems accurately, and slow response times – Siquande has developed this visual lighting management system. Its key functions include topology visualization, monitoring of signals across multiple protocols, monitoring of operational parameters, fault detection and switching, remote parameter adjustment, and data recording for review.
Leveraging its own customized visual lighting operation and management platform, Si Quande has developed an integrated solution that covers all aspects of the process, including real-time monitoring, risk warning, emergency response, and data archiving. This solution provides standardized and practical tools for safety operation and management to theaters and event organizers, thereby helping to ensure that the cultural and entertainment industry fulfills its responsibilities regarding safe production and strengthens the safety measures in place for venue operations. In line with its role as an associate vice president, the company works to meet the requirements for industry development.
Liu Ying, the new president of the association, said that the new council will facilitate communication between the government and businesses, strengthen industry self-regulation, and unite industry stakeholders in order to promote the high-quality development of the performance industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In line with the three key objectives outlined at the meeting – ensuring safety, fostering innovation, and building unity – Siquande Lighting has defined its future actions:
Based on advanced light safety technologies, it will work to improve industry safety standards. It will share visualized solutions for the safe operation of lighting equipment with association members, assist the association in establishing rules regarding the safe use of such equipment and regular inspections, and exchange practical experience in managing safety during large-scale events and in theaters, thereby helping to develop a systematic approach to ensuring equipment safety.
The company will also continue to innovate technically, seeking ways to develop differentiated solutions for various performance scenarios. Leveraging its expertise in intelligent lighting systems and taking into account the cultural and tourism characteristics of the Lingnan region, it will create lightweight, intelligent lighting solutions for new performance spaces, urban night tours, and live theater productions. This will help diversify the range of products available in the industry and foster integration between performance arts and cultural tourism.
Finally, Siquande Lighting will play a role as a bridge, facilitating communication among performance venues, artistic groups, event organizers, and companies that provide stage equipment. It will help the association promote the sharing of resources and complementary strengths. By promptly addressing the needs of equipment manufacturers, it will assist the association in maintaining good communication between the government and businesses, all in order to serve the performance market in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Being elected as an associate vice president is a sign of trust from the industry, but it also represents a responsibility. In the future, Siquande Lighting will continue to focus on ensuring the safety of lighting systems used in performances, and it will push for the advancement of intelligent and visualized lighting solutions. The company will actively participate in standard-setting discussions, technical training sessions, and industry exchanges, working together with colleagues in the performance industry across the province to uphold safety standards, pursue technological innovation, and achieve collaborative development, thus contributing to the healthy growth of the performance market in Guangdong.
