Traditional spring manufacturing enterprises have ushered in the spring by linking the industrial Internet platform.
Automobile spring manufacturing, which is the most ordinary traditional manufacturing industry. In the eyes of many people, this traditional industry is not even related to "China's intelligent manufacturing".
However, also a spring manufacturing, the Shandong Automobile Spring Factory in Zibo has not only become a state-level specialized new "little giant" enterprise, but also the only leaf spring supplier in China of Daimler, the world's top car company. Behind this, there are enterprises to study product quality and technology, but also inseparable from the help of the industrial Internet platform.
Shandong Automobile Spring Factory has more than 60 years of leaf spring manufacturing history. As a leading enterprise in the industry, it has participated in the formulation and revision of national standards and line standards for many times, and has strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities in heavy truck leaf springs, bus leaf springs, small parabolic leaf springs, and guide arms. Its products have won the national, provincial and automobile factory quality awards and the titles of inspection-free products and brand-name products for many times.
The traditional model still has pain points
For the domestic leaf spring industry, most manufacturers still rely on the output of "fighting" the market, the general degree of automation of the factory is low, resulting in the domestic leaf spring manufacturing level is generally low, the product quality stability is poor, can not meet the needs of high-end customers at home and abroad, product competitiveness is seriously insufficient.
Whether it is for the industry or enterprises, it is particularly urgent to drive future development with scientific and technological innovation. In 2018, Shandong Automobile Spring Factory began the intelligent transformation of production, and basically realized automated production, data collection and quality inspection of the whole process in the past two years. However, with the rapid expansion of the scale of the enterprise, the establishment of multiple branches, and the start of cooperation with foreign host manufacturers, the original information management model has not adapted to the development of enterprises, and gradually exposed the following four pain points.
1. The information system is independent, the business cannot be coordinated, and the information cannot be shared, forming an information island.
2. The enterprise application system does not support group management, and each branch is deployed independently, which is high cost and difficult to manage uniformly.
3. The new service system is slow to go online, and the implementation cycle and cost are high.
4. Insufficient data interaction and deep mining capabilities.
Digital empowerment brings dynamism
Shandong Automobile Spring Factory combined with its own situation, after comprehensively inspecting more than ten domestic and international digital factory service providers, finally selected the national double-cross platform KAOS COSMOPlat, injecting digital power into the transformation and upgrading track.
In the face of the pain points of the enterprise itself, KAOS COSMOPlat cooperates with Shandong Automobile Spring Factory to build a digital middle platform for enterprise intelligent manufacturing, integrates the existing information system with a unified platform, supports the horizontal scalability of future enterprise applications, completes seamless docking between various applications, and ensures the efficient and stable operation of the enterprise platform on this basis, and realizes the visual management of enterprise platform services.
After the platform was launched at the end of November 2021, it mainly accurately empowered Shandong Automobile Spring Factory in the following six aspects.
1. System integration: Realize the synchronization of organizational information, personnel information, and business-related data, and open up system data such as SAP system, sales process management, and after-sales service.
2. Unified data: Realize the unified management of linear data of each platform and system, and realize data collection with multi-system collaboration.
3. Report integration: Realize the data unification of each platform and system, and the single sign-on of the report.
4. Unified process: Realize the centralized and efficient collaboration platform of data business information such as suppliers, internal enterprises, and customers.
5. Unified agency: multi-system, multi-post, multi-type event to be handled data unified platform management.
6.APP function: put SAP into the mobile APP to improve SAP mobility.
Transformation and upgrading have tasted the sweetness
Through the intelligent data acquisition system, real-time display of equipment data and process data, traditional spring manufacturing enterprises have ushered in the spring by linking the industrial Internet platform.
It is reported that under the empowerment of KAOS COSMOPlat, the production efficiency of Shandong Automobile Spring Factory has increased by 20%, labor costs have been reduced by 10%, equipment failure rate has been reduced by 20%, maintenance efficiency has been increased by 40%, and digital assetization coverage has increased by 70%. And by connecting data with domestic core car companies, KAOS COSMOPlat helped Shandong Automotive Spring Factory build an industry symbiosis and co-prosperity development ecosystem, injecting new vitality into the development of traditional spring manufacturing enterprises.
Industrial Internet is a positive way to help the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, under the benchmarking example of the industry leader of enterprises, the industrial Internet platform can empower the transformation of the industry and lead the rapid development of a region and an industry. In the future, KAOS COSMOPlat will carry out in-depth cooperation with Shandong Automobile Spring Factory around the industrial Internet platform of the leaf spring industry, drive development with industrial iteration, and fully empower enterprises to accelerate towards a new journey.
