Haier

WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Haier's Thailand air-conditioner factory needed to coordinate production across a broad product range. Manufacturing required adjustments to process settings and material flows.

Approach

Haier transferred manufacturing practices from its Chinese factories to the Chonburi plant and deployed supply-chain AI agents across its operations. Predictive and scheduling agents used process parameters to adjust operating settings, material proportions and scheduling routes.

Results

35%higher production efficiency than peer factories in Southeast Asia, according to HaierCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported efficiency advantage compared the factory with regional peers. It did not measure the factory before and after AI deployment.
