Exploring Benchmark Enterprises: Empowering New Productivity with “Valves”

As a leader in the valve industry, Jiangsu Jiangheng Valve Co., Ltd. remains committed to its core philosophy of “technological innovation.” By continually introducing cutting-edge equipment, increasing investment in R&D, and actively expanding into new markets, the company has taken another significant step forward. Recently, Jiangheng Valve announced a groundbreaking project: an investment of 1.5 billion RMB to construct its third factory, signifying a transition into a new development model that integrates core sales platforms, traditional valve production hubs, and smart connectivity.

To enhance its digitalization and smart manufacturing capabilities, Jiangheng Valve organized a 14-member delegation to visit Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Co., Ltd. from October 26 to 27, 2024. The visit aimed to explore the brewery’s innovative practices in digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing, which have set benchmarks in their industry.

During the visit, the delegation toured key facilities, including Yanghe’s smart exhibition hall, automated packaging workshops, intelligent brewing facilities, and century-old cellars, as well as the product experience center. These visits provided an in-depth understanding of Yanghe’s digital transformation strategy and achievements, highlighting its consumer-centric approach and commitment to building a strong “digital moat” for competitive advantage.

Yanghe Brewery’s marketing digitalization stood out as a key focus. Leveraging one-product-one-code technology, it has established a digital channel control and profit-sharing system, supported by a robust big data analytics platform. This system provides invaluable decision-making support for both marketing and supply chain operations, putting Yanghe at the forefront of its industry.

Jiangheng Valve’s delegation adopted a “observe-and-learn” approach, combining on-site visits with interactive discussions. By studying Yanghe’s practices in digital transformation, smart manufacturing, and network integration, the team identified opportunities to improve and innovate within their own operations. These insights will be instrumental in accelerating Jiangheng Valve’s journey towards digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing.

Looking ahead, Jiangsu Jiangheng Valve Co., Ltd. will continue to uphold its commitment to “technological innovation.” With increased investment in R&D, a focus on digital transformation, and ongoing efforts to enhance product technology and market competitiveness, Jiangheng Valve is well-positioned to drive high-quality development in the global valve industry.
