Compact Design, Minimal Footprint
Donghuayuan's AI Smart Fully-Automatic Decoction Pod integrates artificial intelligence and IoT technology to deliver efficient, safe, and modern decoction services. Every pod independently performs the complete decoction workflow – automatic water dosing, herb soaking, intelligent decoction, packaging with coding, automatic label application, dreg discharge, and pot cleaning.
Thanks to its compact industrial design, the pod delivers higher output per square meter than traditional large-scale production lines. The modular layout accommodates more decoction pots within the same floor area, significantly improving space utilization.
System Workflow
The fully-automatic decoction pod adopts a modular design – when one pod is under maintenance, all other pods continue production uninterrupted. Standardized spare parts simplify overall operation and maintenance management.
The Donghuayuan fully-automatic TCM decoction system deeply integrates artificial intelligence and IoT technology, providing users with efficient and safe modern service experience.
Full Process Automation – Zero Manual Intervention
The smart decoction pod provides automatic water dosing, automatic soaking, intelligent decoction, automatic packaging and labeling, automatic dreg discharge and cleaning. The entire process requires no manual operation. During decoction, different prescriptions can apply first-decoction, second-decoction, as well as "decoct-first" and "add-later" techniques, maximally restoring traditional decoction craftsmanship.
Automatic water dosing and herb soaking
Intelligent multi-mode decoction (first-decoction, second-decoction, decoct-first, add-later)
Automatic packaging with coding and label application
Automatic dreg discharge and pot cleaning
Continuous operation with zero manual intervention
Easy Maintenance with Modular Architecture
Parallel operation and large-scale production matrixWith 30 decoction stations per unit, the pod delivers an output of 250–300 conventional prescriptions within a 10-hour shift, occupying only approximately 30 square meters of floor space.

Intelligent Features Driven by AI & Digital Twin
AI combined with digital twin technology makes operation and maintenance smarter. The conveyor line features an energy-saving mode that automatically switches to standby when empty or fully loaded.
12+1 Customizable Decoction Modes
The pod supports 12+1 (customizable) decoction modes including decoct-first, add-later, first-decoction, and second-decoction. It also supports both non-woven bag decoction (with extrusion) and traditional loose decoction (with stirring).
Dual-Tank Negative Pressure Drainage
Cooked-water cleaning avoids the risk of bag inflation, ensuring packaging quality and product safety.
Integrated Solution vs. Distributed Solution
Donghuayuan provides both integrated and distributed deployment options to meet the needs of different facility scales – from clinics and hospitals to small-scale decoction centers and TCM manufacturing workshops.
Smart Management Platform
The integrated management platform offers end-to-end visibility across the entire decoction workflow – from prescription receiving and dispensing to decoction, packaging, and delivery.
