First launched in 2016, Haier's independently-developed COSMOPlat digitally 
integrates the entire factory process and supply chain, including interaction, 
R&D, and procurement, to better serve individual customers. This year's upgrade 
combines a diverse range of advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies and 
5G to open up a new chapter of mass customization, pioneering the world's first 
"smart + 5G" customization verification platform with profound application 
possibilities for industries as diverse as ceramics, agriculture, motor home 
manufacturing, molds, and machinery. In addition to a large number of 
enterprise customers, Haier attracted several industry-leading experts to its 
booth, including Henning Kagermann, the father of the Industry 4.0 movement to 
digitize industrial production, and Francisco Betti, head of Advanced 
Manufacturing Industry in World Economic Forum's (WEF).

"I'm thrilled to see the progress achieved by the latest iteration of 
COSMOPlat, now integrated with advanced technologies such as 5G and AI," said 
Kagermann following his tour of the Haier booth. "Not only is Haier serving 
large enterprises, but it is empowering SMEs to transform and upgrade as well. 
Thanks to the real-time updates and optimization, a larger number of customers 
can enjoy greater efficiency and a more user-centric experience." 

As the first Chinese enterprise to be selected to the WEF's network of 
"Manufacturing Lighthouses", a community of leading manufacturers that are 
integrating Industry 4.0 technologies, Haier leveraged the exhibition to 
co-host the WEF Lighthouse Factory Forum with Bosch, Phoenix Contact, Rold, 
Sandvik, and Tata Steel. Together, the companies announced the Lighthouse 
Program Hannover Initiative, which seeks to set and implement industry norms 
for standards, technology, talent, security, and more. As the leader of this 
cooperation, Haier's COSMOPlat will draw on its open ecosystem to promote and 
cultivate the initiative. 

Thus far, COSMOPlat has developed 15 sub-platforms for different industries, 
with 12 demonstration bases across six regions, including eastern China and 
northern China. The model has been further implemented in 20 countries, 
transforming clothing, food, housing, travel, health, education, and other 
industries so that global users can enjoy the enhanced lifestyle experience 
opened up by mass customization.
