中国飞鹤×火山引擎：436个智能体走进乳业生产一线

TL;DR - Chinese dairy producer Feihe deployed 436 production-focused AI agents on ByteDance’s HiAgent platform, embedding them into equipment maintenance, process optimization, and workforce management. Reported deployments show how agentic systems can deliver measurable industrial gains when connected to operational data and workflows.

• HiAgent provides a shared foundation for model access, knowledge governance, workflow orchestration, permissions, and agent operations across more than 10 factories.
• An AI equipment-management system deployed at nine factories reportedly cut average fault-recovery time from 104 to 47 hours and repeat failures from 34% to 8%.
• A membrane-cleaning agent uses Doubao models and production databases for monitoring and alerts, reportedly saving over RMB 500,000 in annual purchasing, 144,000 tonnes of water, and more than RMB 3 million in equipment wear.
• A workforce-management agent built with TRAE, HiAgent, and Arkclaw reduced process steps from 15 to five and increased efficiency by more than threefold.
