en.Wedoany.com Reported - MeiCloud Digital Intelligence has released the "Overseas Smart Warehousing and Logistics Project Construction Guide," targeting the new "integrated investment, construction, and operation" phase of Chinese manufacturing going global. Centered on software-defined logistics, high-density hardware, AI digital twins, and full lifecycle services, it builds an overseas smart warehousing system that can increase space utilization by 3 to 5 times, supporting overseas capacity release and cost control for enterprises.
2025 data shows that China's total ODI reached $174.38 billion, ranking among the global top three for 13 consecutive years, with over 53,000 manufacturing enterprises expanding overseas. Overseas warehousing and logistics have evolved from a supporting function to core infrastructure. Traditional warehousing models, affected by differences in domestic and international policies, infrastructure, and labor, face issues such as insufficient adaptability, low space utilization, lagging data synchronization, and high compliance risks, making it difficult to support large-scale lean operations.
At the Thailand Overseas Salon, Guo Wenbo, General Manager of Automation Control at MeiCloud Digital Intelligence, introduced the overseas smart warehousing solution. Based on Midea's global warehousing construction experience and validation at the Thailand Lighthouse Factory, the solution adopts a strategy of overall planning, phased implementation, and modular construction. It uses standardized hardware combined with self-developed digital systems to build an unmanned, flexible, and intelligent warehousing system, addressing common challenges in planning, adaptation, operation and maintenance, and compliance.
The solution employs a "software-defined logistics" flexible architecture, with the self-developed ACS automation control system at its core. It integrates full-stack capabilities of WMS, WCS, and RCS, and seamlessly connects with MES and ERP systems, achieving deep data collaboration across the entire domain. Dynamic zoning design allows flexible adjustments based on production capacity, addressing scenarios with complex overseas SKUs and high production fluctuations.
Taking the Thailand factory's three-in-one electronic small parts intelligent automated warehouse as an example, it is equipped with 37 bin four-way shuttles and 6 elevators, and uses an overhead logistics conveyor system spanning over 2 kilometers, achieving seamless integration between the warehouse and production lines. This intelligent automated warehouse handles up to 2,075 boxes per hour, supporting a peak monthly production demand of 1 million units. It is designed with 42,000 standard storage locations, increasing space utilization by more than 3 times. Leveraging AI and digital twin technology, the system achieves 24-hour unmanned, visual management, with 100% inventory accuracy, reducing overall warehousing costs by 30% to 50% and improving distribution efficiency by over 30%.
MeiCloud Digital Intelligence provides full lifecycle services from site selection, design, and integration to localized operations. Service offerings include pre-due diligence, modular deployment, SOP systems, and 7x24 operation and maintenance support. This solution has been validated at the Thailand Lighthouse Factory and can cover diverse markets such as ASEAN, the Middle East, and Latin America.
As a core solution under Midea's Going Global Partner Program, MeiCloud Digital Intelligence uses a new digital warehousing paradigm to help enterprises achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement, stable supply chains and quality enhancement, and compliant operations.
