Teway Food is adopting Industry 4.0, and intelligent production will be at the forefront of the market. The company’s vice president commented that this smart factory is a crucial milestone in its journey since 2019. Informationization and industrialisation are critical parts of the company's broader goal to transition from a traditional food manufacturer to a modern food provider. The company's investment in intelligent production bases in Chengdu's Pidu and Shuangliu empowers this change and ensures the company's long-term success. Teway Food's smart factory, which is powered by its digital platform, uses a digital and intelligent automated manufacturing and management system.
