On October 12th, the World Economic Forum (WEF) held a live broadcast of the Global Lighthouse Network. Zheng Hongmeng, Chairman of Industrial Wealth Alliance, was invited to share the practice of enterprise transformation and stated that digital technology+ESG will promote the expansion of the fourth industrial revolution technology in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Industrial Wealth Alliance is committed to building intelligent factories with real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and independent decision-making.
The Global Lighthouse Network is an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem network jointly founded by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey&Company, supported by the “Lighthouse Factory”. It aims to select leading global manufacturing enterprises to recognize their leadership demonstrated in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) innovation as pioneers. This live broadcast invites founding members of the Global Lighthouse Network to share how enterprises can apply the Fourth Industrial Revolution technology to achieve large-scale transformation, and use advanced technology to help redefine the future of the manufacturing industry.
Zheng Hongmeng shared in detail the transformation path of Industrial Fulian. He stated that Industrial Fulian prioritizes flexible automation in the transformation process to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the consumer electronics industry. “We have successfully expanded automation to include processing, material distribution and transportation, fixture loading and unloading, and packaging, enabling us to respond more effectively to market changes.
Zheng Hongmeng believes that focusing on data collection and artificial intelligence is the key to the transformation strategy of Industrial Fulian. He stated that safety and quality are the top priorities for data collection, especially when using external artificial intelligence resources. For artificial intelligence, the focus of Industrial Fulian is to create a highly available and compatible software and hardware environment.

Speaking of his vision for future manufacturing, Zheng Hongmeng stated that digital technology and ESG will promote the expansion of the fourth industrial revolution technology in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Industrial Alliance is committed to building intelligent factories with real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and independent decision-making. In terms of ESG, Industrial Alliance will use digital tools to reduce its impact on the environment, starting from factory carbon emissions and ultimately establishing a sustainable supply chain. “This is a systemic engineering challenge that requires cooperation between various enterprises and industries to jointly explore the path of sustainable development in the industry
As a pioneer in the application of the fourth industrial revolution technology, Industrial Fulian has been piloting the construction of lighthouse factories starting from a single point factory domain since 2018. In 2019, it was first included in the WEF lighthouse factory list. Up to now, there are six lighthouse factories empowered by the Fii Cloud industrial internet platform. At the same time, Industrial Fulian has also achieved its own transformation into a technology service business, empowering the domestic manufacturing industry to achieve higher quality development by continuously exporting advanced digital technology to the outside world. Currently, there are over 1500 service enterprises, covering more than 10 industries such as electronics, automobiles, mechanical processing, tobacco, and medical treatment, including more than 50 leading enterprises in the new energy vehicle industry, automotive parts industry, and upstream aluminum material industry.
