—Forging a New Benchmark for Intelligent Livestock Equipment and Building a Digital Ecosystem for the Entire Dairy Industry Chain
Amid the global dairy industry’s accelerated shift toward intelligence, green practices, and efficiency, Huacheng Machinery leverages its profound expertise in livestock equipment manufacturing and innovative technological capabilities. As a dual-role player—serving as both an intelligent equipment manufacturer and a solutions service provider—it is deeply integrating into the digital transformation of the dairy sector, helping to construct a smart ecosystem spanning “from farm to table.”
I. Focusing on Smart Farms: Building Core Intelligent Equipment for the Upstream Dairy Sector
Huacheng Machinery addresses the core needs of intelligent dairy farming at its source, introducing a comprehensive array of smart farm equipment covering all breeding scenarios:
- Precision Feeding Systems: Our independently developed TMR intelligent mixer trucks achieve an error rate of ≤2%. Paired with AI-powered feeding robots, they enable personalized nutritional rations, helping farms reduce feed costs by over 15%.
- Health Monitoring Systems: Smart collars and ear tags continuously collect over 20 indicators, such as cow body temperature and rumination patterns. Leveraging AI algorithms, they provide 48-hour disease alerts, reducing culling rates by 30%.
- Environmental Control Solutions: Our photovoltaic-driven intelligent spray systems and IoT-enabled environmental control devices maintain barn temperature and humidity fluctuations within ±5%, significantly boosting milk production.
Currently, Huacheng’s equipment is deployed in flagship smart farms of leading dairy enterprises like Yili and Mengniu. Our “Farm-Solar Synergy” project with a 10,000-head dairy farm in Ningxia achieved an annual reduction of 8,000 tons of CO₂ emissions.
II. Advancing Equipment Intelligence: Building a Data-Driven Paradigm
Huacheng Machinery is reshaping the livestock equipment value chain with IoT and AI:
- Full Equipment Connectivity: Through our self-developed “LivestockLink Cloud Platform,” we enable real-time data transmission from milking machines, feeding vehicles, and other equipment, improving fault response times by 90%.
- Intelligent Decision Support: Deep integration with Yili’s Apollo system provides farms with data-driven precision breeding recommendations, achieving a 95% accuracy rate in estrus prediction.
- AI Vision Innovations: Computer vision technology automatically assesses cow body condition scores (BCS), boosting efficiency by 20 times compared to manual methods.
Drawing on the experience of Shuanghui’s smart factory, Huacheng is testing the world’s first unmanned calf feeding production line, expected to be commercially available by 2025.
III. Practicing Green Manufacturing: Safeguarding Carbon Neutrality in Dairy
In response to China’s “dual carbon” goals, Huacheng introduces low-carbon solutions for livestock farming:
- Manure Resource Utilization Systems: Our intelligent solid-liquid separators and biogas power generation units enable 100% utilization of manure, producing over 500,000 cubic meters of biogas annually.
- New Energy Equipment: Our photovoltaic-powered feed mixers reduce daily diesel consumption by 40 liters. The “photovoltaic-storage-charging integrated” farm energy system we developed has been included in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs’ Green Technology Catalog.
- Crop-Livestock Integration Model: We provide fully mechanized equipment for forage sowing to silage harvesting, supporting dairy enterprises in establishing an ecological loop between “farms and fields.”
IV. Expanding into Midstream Dairy: Extending the Intelligent Manufacturing Service Chain
Huacheng Machinery is extending its technological advantages to dairy processing:
- Smart Cold Chain: Our intelligent milk tankers, equipped with BeiDou positioning, maintain temperature precision within ±0.5°C, ensuring raw milk colony counts ≤10,000 CFU/mL.
- Factory Automation: Collaborating with Siemens, we developed AGV transport robots, achieving 99.9% logistical accuracy at Mengniu’s Ningxia plant.
- Packaging Innovation: Our flexible packaging line accommodates over 20 box types, with changeover times reduced to 15 minutes.
V. Deep Industry-Academia-Research Collaboration: Building a Robust Technological Moat
Huacheng Machinery continues to invest in innovation:
- We established the Intelligent Breeding Equipment Research Institute with China Agricultural University, focusing on breakthroughs in cow behavior recognition algorithms.
- We led the formulation of three industry standards, including Technical Specifications for Intelligent Cow Breeding Equipment.
- We hold 167 patents, with “A 5G-Based Milking Robot Control System” awarded the China Patent Excellence Award.
Future Outlook
Huacheng Machinery will continue to deepen its “Intelligent Equipment + Digital Services” dual-drive strategy, aiming to achieve the following within three years:
✅ Over 60% penetration of intelligent equipment in Top 10 dairy enterprises
✅ 100% data connectivity for equipment
✅ 30% reduction in carbon emissions for partner farms
Join Huacheng in shaping the intelligent future of the dairy industry!
