Yihang x Swire Coca-Cola Zhengzhou: A Dynamic Factory Model Where Space Empowers People

If the production line is the home ground of efficiency and the factory campus is a vibrant community, how would industrial office work change? At Swire Coca-Cola Zhengzhou's million-ton mega factory, the boundaries of work are being redefined. Daily work is no longer confined to the traditional production line and cubicles; it "grows" on top of the smart production lines, "hides" within the communal scenes, and comes "alive" in the free switching between focused work and collaborative exchange.

As the first world-class benchmark project delivered under Swire Coca-Cola's RMB 12 billion investment layout in China, Yihang and Swire Coca-Cola Zhengzhou have together created a modern factory ecosystem where people can "work efficiently, communicate openly, and relax fully" — making space itself a "converter" between efficiency and vitality, moving factory space from a single production attribute toward a symbiosis of people and performance, and helping employees transition smoothly from fast-paced production to slow-paced rest.

Flexible Fit: Office Scenes That Switch On Demand

When the production line has pushed physical efficiency to the extreme with AGV unmanned vehicles and intelligent sorting systems, the core mission of the office area is to release mental value.

Yihang abandoned the traditional dense cubicle layout and created an office model with seamless switching between "focus" and "collaboration": neat, orderly individual workstations safeguard deep thinking and concentrated work, while nearby collaboration corners support instant cross-department exchange.

The meeting spaces pair combinable training tables with a curved-top conference table, weakening the sense of hierarchy so that team communication flows more smoothly and decisions land more efficiently — raising office efficiency and production-line efficiency in step.

Vibrant Connections: Breaking Down Barriers to Spark Creativity

The fine division of labor in modern mass production can easily create "departmental silos". Yihang turned the public areas into exchange grounds that break down boundaries: high bar tables, wraparound sofas, and leisure seats form multi-level conversation settings, letting creativity sprout naturally in chance cross-department chats.

The staff canteen is more than just a dining space: a furniture layout with social interaction built in makes lunchtime an opportunity for cross-department communication, transforming the linear collaboration of the assembly line into warmer emotional connections and continuously recharging team vitality and creative inspiration.

The production line creates products; space shapes the people who create them. With full-scenario space solutions, Yihang broke through the functional boundaries of the traditional industrial setting, so that this million-ton mega factory — beyond its hard-core capacity — also has the internal drive to keep unlocking human value.
