In this user interaction experience mode, the user actively participates in the interaction and evaluation of 360° each node in the full value chain of product planning, design, manufacturing, delivery, marketing, etc., and creates the best experience together with the intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. In order to meet the dynamic and individual needs, and form a self-running system with continuous closed-loop optimization of experience. It can be said that the Haier single-in-one networked 360° interactive experience mode is a kind of quality management mode innovation that meets the requirements of the Internet era.

Guided by this strategic goal, Haier Shenyang Refrigerator Factory continues to practice the quality management mode of “from warranty to guarantee, pre-satisfaction to full-process user experience”, from automatic research and development, procurement, logistics to production. Nearly 50 quality assurance measures, such as wrong, intelligent monitoring and inspection, to ensure the production of zero-defect products.

According to the person in charge of Haier Shenyang Refrigerator Factory, the refrigerator factory is actively practicing the modular strategy, and fully implements the whole process of modular design, procurement and manufacturing to ensure product quality. In addition, the world's advanced technology and highly integrated automated production lines have also solved the difficult problems of traditional manufacturing, reducing the various uncertainties caused by manual operations and ensuring the high quality of products.

High efficiency to create a first-class delivery experience

How to quickly meet the user's personalized and differentiated needs, test the response speed of Haier intelligent manufacturing.

In the face of Internet transformation, Haier's unmanned factory's goal is to enhance the user's individual satisfaction.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Haier Shenyang refrigerator factory, the factory is more focused on satisfying the user's experience of the whole process of manufacturing while realizing the high automation of the machine and equipment. By establishing an automation community that freely interacts with the machines, machines and machines leading the home appliance industry, Real-time interconnection between machines, production lines, products, and users.

It is understood that the most typical information interconnection case of the factory is the U-shell intelligent distribution line, which subverts the traditional tooling mode of transportation. In the case of the first unmanned distribution in the industry, point-to-point precision matching production and automatic instant delivery . At present, Haier Shenyang refrigerator factory has realized the production capacity of single-line capacity and unit area by doubling the output of single-line production capacity, and the logistics distribution distance has also decreased by about 43%. The production cycle has been shortened to 10 seconds, making it the most productive cycle in the global refrigerator industry. Fast, accept the most extensive home appliance factory.
