Topscore has put its self-developed intelligent shoes production line, first of its kind in China, into operation on Aug 7. The line, with robots collecting all foot-related data in 30 seconds, can increase productivity by 40 percent, save nearly half of all manual labor and greatly reduce the cost of custom-made women's shoes.

According to Liang Yaohua, founder of Topscore, the company has invested 20 million yuan ($2.92 million) into the production line with an aim to transform and upgrade its production lines.

Liang said that Topscore was listed in Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2016 and he would rather boost company's value than fix his eyes on the stocks. Looking into the future, he is ready to blaze a new trail for retailing as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area develops at state level.
