China Feihe (06186) was invited to attend this conference, systematically presenting its self-constructed AI ecosystem of "from front-end research and development - industrial chain scenario implementation - terminal intelligent parenting," as well as AI service scenarios covering the entire life cycle from pregnancy to infants, children, and adults. At the same time, Feihe launched AI functional nutritional products to focus on the technology health track and showcased three core AI achievements at the conference.

Chinese food industry analyst Song Liang pointed out: "In the field of AI applications, Chinese dairy companies represented by Feihe have already taken the lead in the world, seizing development opportunities while achieving deep scenario applications and solid industrial practices." As one of the "first global AI dairy companies," Feihe provides a highly valuable Chinese sample for the global AI + vertical scenario implementation.

Cows are also wearing "smart watches," and Feihe takes the lead in empowering the entire industrial chain with AI

At this World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Feihe's exhibition area attracted a large number of visitors: cows wearing "Apple Watches," and Feihe AI nutritionists engaging in real-time conversations with users... Here, the audience experienced the convenience and efficiency that technology brings to production and life in an immersive way.

On the research and development side, Feihe's independently developed breast milk intelligent computing engine relies on China's largest mother-child health cohort, deeply analyzing massive breast milk cohort data. Research found that the golden ratio of DHA to ARA in Chinese breast milk is 1:1.7, bringing Feihe's milk powder infinitely closer to the natural nutrition of breast milk In the smart farm, Feihe empowers the entire breeding, feeding, veterinary, and milking process with AI, achieving a fresh milk protein content of ≥3.4% and a bacterial colony index of ≤0.5 thousand through refined management of the farm, which is 20 times the EU standard.

On the production side, Feihe enhances intelligent manufacturing with AI, fulfilling its quality control commitment as a world-class brand.

The intelligent production system created by Feihe has reached L5 level unrestricted unmanned driving. Among them, the Feihe Qianyan system has creatively achieved millisecond-level online monitoring and quality traceability of the entire milk powder production process for the first time internationally, ensuring the freshness and active nutrition of the products. At the same time, Feihe's digital twin factory combines AI algorithms to analyze equipment operating status in real-time, predicting potential failures in advance, safeguarding Feihe's 63 years of safe production with zero accidents.

Meanwhile, Feihe drives efficient operation of the supply chain through AI, achieving an automation level of over 90% in warehouses and improving overall supply chain efficiency by 40%. With intelligent collaboration across the global supply chain, Feihe accurately delivers on the efficient promise of "28 days fresh direct delivery," allowing products to retain more fresh active nutrition.

"What should I do if my baby keeps hiccuping?" "What should I do if my baby frequently wakes up at night?" On the service side, Feihe also injects warmth into parents' "high-quality companionship" with AI. Feihe's AI nutritionists provide precise nutritional advice for mothers and infants through advanced algorithms and deep learning technology. The Feihe "He Xiaoxiao AIGC doll" can answer scientific parenting knowledge in real-time and interact in multiple languages and dialects, bringing audiences a dual experience of professional knowledge and emotional value.

Feihe launches AI functional nutritional products, reconstructing a new ecosystem of precise nutrition

Currently, AI is accelerating the arrival of the precise nutrition era. This time, as Feihe's second growth curve, Feihe Aiben launches AI functional nutritional products, achieving deep application of AI technology in three major areas: research and development, service, and ecological scenarios, further promoting the implementation of precise nutrition.

In the research and development field, Feihe Aiben has pioneered the core ingredient "small molecule whey protein," which contains over 1,600 functional peptides, with higher activity and easier absorption. Feihe Aiben uses AI-assisted analysis to efficiently predict the mechanism of action of the potential effects of small molecule whey protein and supplements and optimizes product formulations, accelerating the research process and product innovation of functional nutrition. These all confirm that AI is not only a service tool but also an engine driving the precise and efficient research and development of functional nutrition products.

Currently, researchers are applying AI technology to first identify the potential efficacy direction of "muscle and bone care" for small molecule whey protein. Feihe Aiben has launched its first AI functional nutritional product—Feihe Aiben Protein Powder (also known as "Feihe Aiben Dynamic Protein Nutrition Powder"), which has become the first choice for many consumers with its advantages of "supplementing muscle and bone together" and comprehensive nutrition

On the service side, Feihe Aiben, in collaboration with a team of experts from Capital Medical University, will launch the first nutrition consultant deeply integrated with AI capabilities—Dr. Ai, which can provide real-time intelligent companionship, personalized nutrition & health advice, product and nutrition solution recommendations, product usage answers, and other full-scene services. The person in charge of Feihe Aiben stated: "Dr. Ai makes professional and customized nutrition guidance truly accessible."

It is reported that at this conference, Feihe Aiben also joined hands with partners such as Huawei Cloud and Meinian Health to jointly establish the "AI Precision Nutrition Alliance," which integrates scenarios, technology, and solutions, aiming to address the difficulties of delayed health advice and lack of unified standards in the implementation of precision nutrition, and will work together to promote the deep application of AI technology in precision functional nutrition and the big health industry.

Leading with comprehensive technology to solidify the global market's top position

"From informatization and digitalization to the wave of AI technology, Feihe has always dared to embrace trends and take the lead in layout." According to Dong Yan, Vice President of Feihe, this forward-looking layout is not accidental but stems from Feihe's profound insight into technology-driven industrial transformation.

As early as 2010, Feihe began to lay out informatization systems at the factory level; in 2012, Feihe launched the industry's first full industry chain traceability system, defining a new safety standard for China's dairy industry; in 2018, Feihe took the lead in promoting comprehensive digital upgrades, initiating a digital transformation in traditional manufacturing; in 2023, Feihe's strategy was further upgraded, intensifying the construction of AI capability platforms, and has now established an AI full-link empowerment system, continuously leading industry development.

Beyond digitalization and AI, Feihe has also built a comprehensive technological innovation system covering basic research, application transformation, and industrial implementation with a global perspective. From being the first to initiate breast milk research and establishing one of China's earliest breast milk databases, to proactively laying out brain science research and defining the future nutrition research direction of China's dairy industry; from leading the "14th Five-Year" national key R&D plan to form the "National Team for Breast Milk Research," to exploring cutting-edge fields of brain development with over 20 well-known universities and authoritative institutions from 7 countries including Peking University and Harvard BCH... Whether in leading-edge technology or cooperative ecological layout, Feihe always stands at the forefront of the global dairy industry's development wave.

It is precisely because of the excellent product quality forged by hardcore technology that Feihe has achieved the transition from "technology leading to global first," with infant formula powder market sales ranking first in China for six consecutive years and first in global sales for four consecutive years.

In the future, Feihe will continue to rely on "AI+" innovative achievements to empower the full lifecycle product matrix, providing global consumers with more precise nutrition, fresher ingredients, and safer quality products, allowing the development achievements of China's dairy industry to benefit the world and share health globally
