What is the Muyuan?

Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd, established in 1992, is one of China’s largest pig farming companies, focusing on pig breeding, food processing, and sales.

The company employs modern farming techniques and smart management, producing over 10 million pigs annually and delivering safe, high-quality pork products.

Muyuan is also committed to sustainable development, enhancing farming efficiency and environmental protection, setting a benchmark for the industry.

The Challenge

In modern pig farming, one of the significant challenges faced by companies like Muyuan is the efficient transport of pigs between different floors and barns. Traditional methods often involve manual handling, which can lead to stress for the animals and increased labor intensity for workers. Additionally, ensuring the precise monitoring and control of elevators during peak operation times can be difficult, posing risks related to animal welfare and operational efficiency.

Solutions

To address these challenges, our company provided Muyuan with specialized smart livestock transport elevators. The elevators are integrated with advanced control systems operated from a centralized control room. Using 5G wireless communication technology, each elevator can be monitored and controlled with precision, allowing real-time adjustments based on the operational status. This system facilitates the seamless transportation of different age groups of pigs between various levels of the farm and between barns.

Advantages

The implementation of our smart elevators offers multiple advantages for Muyuan. First, the operation is smooth, safe, and efficient, significantly reducing the time and labor required for pig transport. Second, it enhances the automation level of the farming process, allowing staff to focus on other critical tasks, thus improving overall productivity. Lastly, the system minimizes stress on the animals, promoting better welfare and potentially leading to higher quality meat production. This comprehensive solution ultimately lowers labor intensity while optimizing operations in Muyuan’s pig farming operations.
