Selected by the WEF and McKinsey & Company, "Lighthouse Network" exemplify the forefront of "digital manufacturing" and "Globalization 4.0," representing the epitome of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in today's global manufacturing landscape. The WEF praised Mengniu Ningxia Factory for its implementation of over 30 advanced Fourth Industrial Revolution use cases, enhancing processes such as milk processing, packaging, and inspection.

Through complete digitalization across the system, chain, process, and automation, the factory now has enhanced capabilities to understand consumer needs, predict market trends, boost production efficiency, and ensure stringent quality control from source to end product. This transformation ensures the nutritional value and safety of every dairy product, paving the way for a data-driven revolution in the dairy industry's quality and productivity standards.

The Mengniu Ningxia Factory has achieved a groundbreaking milestone through the implementation of the "134556" digital password system, marking a new era in intelligent manufacturing within the global dairy industry.

Embracing the principle of "thorough connectivity," Mengniu Ningxia Factory has successfully transitioned to a "department-free platform" by leveraging six algorithm-driven platforms: intelligent procurement and supply, energy management, production optimization, quality control, smart logistics, and facility management. In just one year of operation, the factory has excelled in key performance indicators such as area efficiency, labor productivity, product quality, and energy conservation, demonstrating a harmonious fusion of these essential metrics. Compared to traditional facilities, Ningxia Factory has significantly improved space utilization, labor productivity, product quality, and energy efficiency, reflecting its dedication to continuous innovation and sustainability practices.
