Tech news on February 18th, Lu Weibing from Xiaomi Group stated that the new Xiaomi smartphone smart factory has been completed and put into operation, with an annual production capacity of tens of millions of flagship smartphones, marking a milestone in Xiaomi's smart manufacturing.
Lu Weibing pointed out that this is Xiaomi's first truly intelligent factory, where key validations for the Xiaomi 14 Gulf Blue limited edition and the technological innovation of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra are derived from.
Public information indicates that three years ago, Xiaomi's smart factory in Beijing's Yizhuang district was completed, with an annual production capacity of one million units, serving as an experimental factory for new technology research and development.
The newly operational Xiaomi smartphone smart factory differs significantly, achieving large-scale production of advanced intelligent manufacturing, with an annual capacity of tens of millions of flagship smartphones. Situated in Beijing's Xiaomi Changping Park, the entire park covers an area of 287 acres, with a total investment of 12.1 billion RMB, of which the first phase of the Xiaomi smartphone smart factory received an investment of 2.4 billion RMB.
The factory boasts a self-developed rate of 96.8% for assembly, testing, and packaging equipment, while the overall factory's software system self-developed rate reaches 100%. With complete mastery of the underlying software and hardware system, combined with advanced technologies such as IoT, 5G, cloud computing, big data, and AI, the Xiaomi smartphone smart factory has achieved comprehensive automation and digitization, making the factory an intelligent entity.
As a result, not only have many problems in the industry that were previously unsolvable or poorly resolved been effectively addressed, but also the previously unimaginable innovation capabilities have become a reality.
More importantly, Xiaomi has independently developed a complete set of smart factory management systems called the "Chasing Light Platform", which can deeply excavate and master full-stack production data, enabling autonomous analysis, management, decision-making, and execution. It also continuously accumulates production experience, achieving autonomous learning and evolution of production processes and techniques.
It is these advanced capabilities that enable the all-new Xiaomi smartphone smart factory to more quickly meet the demands of more stringent and diverse new manufacturing processes. The two custom colors of the Xiaomi 14, Gulf Blue and Olive Green, are produced here, and the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Ultra series, with its advanced process innovations, has also completed key production validations here.
