The results? A 30% improvement in logistics efficiency, 24/7 error-free operation, and a system scalable enough to support GAC Toyota's upcoming EV expansion. This is lean manufacturing perfected—where Toyota's legendary TPS philosophy meets BlueSword's cutting-edge automation to create the world's most agile automotive logistics ecosystem.
