Introduction

On October 8, 2024, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and McKinsey released the latest batch of "lighthouse factories" list, with 19 new factories globally selected, including 10 located in China, and 3 production bases rated as "sustainable lighthouses". As of now, the number of "lighthouse factories" in China has increased to 72, accounting for over 40%, and continues to rank first in the world. The global lighthouse factory has reached 172, with 35 different industries from 31 countries. So far, more than 1000 solutions have been deployed in multiple industries, including 10 enterprises assisted by AstraZeneca.

The Lighthouse Factory is jointly certified by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey&Company, representing the top level of digital intelligent manufacturing in the world. They have significantly improved production efficiency, flexibility, and sustainable development capabilities through the widespread application of advanced technologies such as automation, digitization, and intelligence, becoming a model for industry transformation. The number of lighthouse factories in China ranks among the top in the world, covering multiple industries such as automobiles, electronics, and home appliances, demonstrating China's leading position in the field of intelligent manufacturing. These factories not only enhance their competitiveness, but also set a benchmark for the digital transformation and sustainable development of the global manufacturing industry.

The lighthouse factory assisted by i-Stock

micron technology

In order to further improve productivity, Micron's large-scale advanced semiconductor memory manufacturing plant has developed an integrated Internet of Things and analysis platform to ensure real-time identification of manufacturing anomalies. At the same time, by introducing the overall solution of i-Stock Smart Logistics, the speed of new product production has been accelerated, unplanned downtime has been reduced, and labor productivity has been improved.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering

In order to improve production efficiency and shorten delivery cycles, as well as cope with increasingly complex production processes, Sun Moon Semiconductor has chosen to adopt the i-Stock Smart Logistics Integrated Solution, thereby increasing production volume and shortening order delivery time.

Wistron Group

The pressure faced by the company is to deliver a large number of orders in a short period of time and accelerate end-to-end processes without compromising excellent quality. To this end, Wistron has deployed multiple technical use cases within the factory to transform the entire value chain. Despite facing the problem of insufficient supply, by adopting the overall solution of i-Stock Smart Logistics, the unit hourly production capacity has been increased, the defect rate has been reduced, the delivery time has been shortened, and ultimately the unit production cost has been reduced.

Hongbai Technology

The rapid development of artificial intelligence basic models not only leads to explosive growth in computing power demand, but also puts higher demands on the efficiency, quality, and iteration speed of artificial intelligence servers. Foxconn Industrial Internet's Taiwan factory has improved production efficiency, reduced product defects, shortened delivery cycles, and lowered unit manufacturing costs by deploying artificial intelligence use cases in areas such as order forecasting, warehousing and production scheduling, product design, quality, and assembly testing.

Haier Intelligent

Customer centric technology "- transformation led by artificial intelligence, including building a" order first, manufacture later "product customization platform and utilizing remote artificial intelligence technology to predict maintenance needs in advance.

Industrial Fulian

Industry Fulian is the world's leading intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet overall solution service provider. It has always adhered to the dual wheel drive development strategy of "intelligent manufacturing+industrial Internet", rooted in the mainland, and deployed globally. So far, it has carried out business in many countries and regions, and has the most complete and efficient supply chain in the global 3C electronics industry and the largest scale, rapid mass production of intelligent manufacturing capabilities.

Foxconn

Black Lamp Factory "- This factory specialized in producing electrical equipment components such as smartphones adopts a fully automated manufacturing process, equipped with machine learning and artificial intelligence equipment automatic optimization systems, intelligent self maintenance systems, and intelligent production real-time status monitoring systems. Foxconn has prioritized the introduction of AstraZeneca's intelligent logistics solution, which has improved production efficiency and reduced inventory cycles.

Midea Group

Faced with fierce competition in the home appliance industry and the rapid development and increasing complexity of the e-commerce field, Midea Group has transformed and upgraded from an automated factory to an end-to-end interconnected value chain by adopting the i-Stock Smart Logistics Integrated Solution. This has improved labor efficiency, reduced unit costs, and shortened order delivery times.

Innolux Optoelectronics

Faced with fierce competition in the panel industry, higher quality requirements from customers, and a serious decline in gross profit, the Innolux Optoelectronics Factory adopts the Aisdaq Smart Logistics overall solution to improve processing capabilities, reduce yield losses, and thus enhance the production capacity of niche products.

Danfoss
