Walking into Foshan Haitian Condiment Food Co., Ltd., it is like stepping into a unique space that integrates traditional brewing and modern technology. The machines on its bottling line rumble, producing an efficient 520,000 bottles of Haitian soy sauce, only four or five operators are needed. This is the palace of digital and intelligent production, where the rich and mellow soy sauce and the scientific and technological sense of the modern production line perfectly intersect.
The condiment industry is undergoing tremendous change. Rising operating costs, stricter food safety regulations, and a new and complex consumer environment have all given rise to the survival of the fittest in the industry. Brand enterprises have emerged in this competition, and the industrial concentration has gradually tilted towards them, forming a benchmark for the industry. In this era of change, Haitian Flavor has accelerated the pace of transformation and upgrading with its 300-year tradition and keen insight into industrial technological transformation.
Since the introduction of the industry's first fully automatic packaging production line in 2003 to the start of digital transformation in 2008, Haitian Flavor has been at the forefront of industry change. Every year, more than 200 million yuan is invested in independent research and development, and a number of sets of technology-leading brewing equipment and systems are manufactured. This series of efforts not only supports the implementation of digital and intelligent technology, but also moves towards the goal of green and intelligent manufacturing.
In traditional brewing, the quality of the strains directly affects the taste of soy sauce. Through digital technology, Haitian Flavor uses a self-developed tower disc with a diameter of more than 20 meters in the koji-making workshop to accurately control the fermentation environment in the koji-making process. This advanced digital system, which combines the experience of the "master" with the precision of digitalization, makes 494 quality inspection points possible. As a result, Haitian Flavor has achieved accurate control of product quality, ensured the consistent flavor of soy sauce, and ensured food safety to the greatest extent.
Intelligent manufacturing runs through every link of the production line, from screening, koji-making, brewing and drying, to packaging and transportation, all of which are automated. In the canning process, the fermented Haitian soy sauce is fed into the fully automatic closed and clean canning workshop through stainless steel pipelines, and then packaged and packaged through more than 10 rapid packaging production lines, so that the production efficiency is greatly improved, and not a single drop of Haitian soy sauce will be exposed.
Haitian Flavor not only implements digitalization at the production end, but also extends digitalization to the first chain and sales chain. By connecting the production process and data of the leading company, the quality and production fluctuations of the entire batch can be predicted in advance. At the end of the sales chain, the user's consumption data and preference are collected through the packaging on the packaging, and the product taste and packaging are continuously optimized to make the product closer to consumer demand.
With the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for quality, Haitian Flavor Industry is led by digitalization, which not only empowers the first-class chain and sales chain of products, but also provides consumers with more high-quality products. In the wave of digital transformation, Haitian Flavor has shown the new style of China's condiment industry and pointed out the direction for the high-quality development of the industry.
