At present, Rockwell Automation is helping the well-known domestic battery company Honeycomb Energy to accurately locate the implementation path of intelligent manufacturing transformation, and the areas that can be prioritized, and implement changes through intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligtion-driven technology, which is expected to be achieved this year: Per capita output is increased by 20%, manufacturing costs are reduced by 20%, total output is increased by 5%, and start-up period is reduced by 67%. Since 2018, the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Consulting Company have launched the selection of “lighthouse factory” project in the world, and enterprises in many fields such as consumer goods, automobiles, home appliances, steel, medical and pharmaceutical, industrial equipment and other fields have taken the intelligent manufacturing strength represented by “lighthouse factory” as a benchmark, and actively explore their own digital path.

Relying on the local ecosystem covering many industries, Rockwell Automation has been promoting the interweaving of different industry application scenarios and innovative integration at the technical level, and building more future-oriented sustainable lighthouse factories with ecosystem partners. By connecting cross-border thinking to help the replication of the lighthouse factory building model, and then promote the construction of lighthouse factories in all walks of life.

Nanjing Puyuan, an ice cream equipment manufacturer with a domestic market share of 60% to 70%, uses Rockwell Automation’s intelligent operation and maintenance Rockii solution to upgrade OT operation technology and build intelligent production lines with the help of IT information technology. After the digital upgrade, Nanjing Puyuan will save up to 90% of labor costs, reduce waste emissions by 122 tons per year, and increase production capacity by 30%.

Nanjing Puyuan has changed the business model of focusing on equipment and production lines in the past, from OEM to ODM, and has become the first fully automated and fully intelligent ice cream manufacturing enterprise in China. While achieving leapfrog growth in turnover, it has also set a benchmark for the ice cream industry to further accelerate internal circulation and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Rockwell Automation’s digital intelligence enabled Nanjing Puyuan to be selected by Forbes China as “China’s Top 10 Industrial Digital Transformation Enterprises in 2021”.
