HUHHOT, China, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

On July 12, the launch ceremony of the Global Smart Manufacturing Industrial

Park of Yili Future Intelligence and Health Valley was held in Hohhot, China.

Four major projects, including a liquid milk production base, a milk powder

production base, the Chilechuan Ecological Intelligent Pasture and the Yili

Intelligent Manufacturing Experience Center, have now entered into operation.

Aspiration to build a "Dairy Silicon Valley"

With the goal of building a "Dairy Silicon Valley", Yili aims to establish a

region that will serve as a global hub for the dairy and health industries.

The Global Smart Manufacturing Industrial Park applies world-class intelligent

equipment and takes full advantage of leading technologies such as the Internet

of Things and artificial intelligence.

The benchmarking production bases for liquid milk, infant formula and cheese at

the Park represent the world's largest scale of their kind, most advanced

technology and highest level of automation and digitization. The Valley is also

home to six national platforms, including the National Center of Technology

Innovation for Dairy and the National Metrology and Testing Center for Dairy

Products.

Bringing prosperity to the industry and the region

Exploring the development of dairy industrial clusters, the program is expected

to boost regional economic growth and accelerate the growth of global health

industries.

With a total investment of RMB five billion, the liquid milk production base

covers an area of about 950 mu (equivalent to the field of play area of 89 FIFA

World Cup stadiums) and employs world-leading digital equipment that can ensure

unmanned, transparent, efficient and traceable production processes. It can

process 6,500 tons of fresh milk per day, which can meet a megacity's daily

demand.

The milk powder production base, with an investment of RMB three billion, has

an annual production capacity of 60,000 tons, which can feed 1.28 million

infants per year. As the world's largest infant formula production base with

the highest level of digitization, the production base leads the industry in

introducing the Intelligent Building Management System (IBMS), the Facility

Management and Control System (FMCS) and applies a variety of cutting-edge

interactive technologies.

Chilechuan Ecological Intelligent Pasture, a supporting farm for the Valley,

occupies an area of 11,250 mu and has received a total investment of RMB 700

million. Equipped with world-class systems for automatic management and smart

low-carbon management, it aims to create and share prosperity with farmers,

herdsmen and industrial partners working in the area.

Yili Intelligent Manufacturing Experience Center houses the world's first 5D

cinema for industrial tours, where visitors are shown videos made with advanced

sound and light technologies that showcase the intelligent manufacturing

process for liquid milk and milk powder. This enables them to learn more about

state-of-the-art dairy production models and the entire lifecycle of milk

production.

Integrating industry, tourism and urban functions, Yili Future Intelligence and

Health Valley will generate greater ecological, social and economic benefits by

2035. It is expected to create direct and indirect employment opportunities for

more than 350,000 people and attract a total of one million people to live in

the region.
