Awards

Beijing, CN - Lighthouse award in Productivity

Sep 2021

A traditional discrete-industry plant making heavy, low-volume, high-variety rotary drilling rigs faced rising global competition, volatile demand and a shrinking pool of skilled welders and assemblers. Leadership framed digitalisation in stark terms — 'to conquer or to be washed out' — and pursued AI, IIoT, 5G and heavy-duty robotics on the brownfield site. Between 2018 and 2020, production lead time fell 76.7% (30 to 7 days) and UPPH rose 84.7%, with carbon emissions down 30%.

Changsha, CN - Lighthouse award in Productivity

Oct 2022

The site makes concrete-pumping equipment — heavy, low-volume products with 238 to 263 stock-keeping units against cyclical demand. To handle that mix at speed, it rebuilt its cutting, welding, machining, assembly and intralogistics around machine vision, robotics, IIoT and a digital twin, cutting production lead time by 59% and lifting labour productivity by 98%.
