Bengbu DaChan Earns National Smart Manufacturing Maturity Certification — One of the Few in Quick-Frozen Meat
 

Bengbu DaChan Food Co., Ltd. has passed China's national Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity assessment and been formally awarded the Standard Compliance Certificate. The evaluation was conducted by CMFI (First Design & Research Institute MI China Co., Ltd.) against two national standards: GB/T 39116-2020 (Maturity model of intelligent manufacturing capability) and GB/T 39117-2020 (Maturity assessment method of intelligent manufacturing capability).

The assessment, widely known as CMMM, is a standards-based national evaluation of smart manufacturing capability. Quick-frozen meat processing involves complex production processes and exacting food-safety controls. This review covered the core manufacturing and process-design stages for quick-frozen prepared chicken products, including thigh and breast meat. It marks a milestone in the plant's digital and standardized development and reflects the capabilities now in place at the Bengbu food-processing base.

Since launching its CMMM alignment program, the company has worked across the model's four capability elements — people, technology, resources and manufacturing — benchmarking key domains such as organizational strategy, data application, system integration, information security, smart equipment, production control and smart logistics. Comprehensive gap analyses led to targeted, iterative improvements and the steady build-out of a working smart-manufacturing system.

On the shop floor, the results are visible. Automatic flow-wrapping machines run at high, stable speeds; AGVs move materials between stations; an automated high-bay cold store handles intelligent storage dispatching; and live production dashboards put operating data in front of decision-makers. Digital and intelligent capability is now applied across the main production stages.

Reaching Level 2 (Standardized) means the Bengbu base has established a systematic smart-manufacturing framework and standardized, end-to-end production management. On this basis, the company will continue to use smart manufacturing to drive industrial upgrading, refine product quality and improve operational efficiency, while exploring practical approaches to digital transformation in the food industry and contributing to the sector's high-quality growth.

As a supplier of quick-frozen meat products, we remain committed to consistent supply and product quality for our customers.
