Create a closed loop of production and manufacturing to improve production quality monitoring

When manufacturing meets the digital economy, it is inevitable that traditional industries will be driven to accelerate transformation, and informatization is also in a profound transformation. Although the three national strategies of Germany's Industry 4.0, the United States' Industrial Internet and China are different in expression, they are essentially the same, that is, intelligent manufacturing.
In the process of producing molds for its own factory, the mold department of Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. has always insisted on using informatization to drive industrialization and industrialization to promote informatization in the process of enterprise development, and pursued a sustainable development model. In recent years, through the continuous in-depth cooperation with Fangtian, it has gradually promoted the construction of a new model of intelligent manufacturing, actively taken advantage of the advantages of the information age, introduced intelligent manufacturing models, optimized the operating system, and improved the equipment production and manufacturing capabilities, and actively responded to the pressure and challenges of high efficiency, high quality, and low cost.
Adhere to quality and create a unique corporate heritage
Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. was established on June 18, 2003, with its registered address in Zicheng Industrial Park, Fengcheng Street, Xinfeng County, and its legal representative is Chen Zhihua. The business scope includes production and sales of glasses and hardware products; import and export of goods and technology; and internal production of hardware molds and glasses molds to achieve an internal mold supply operation mode. Under the influence of the production environment, mold manufacturing is required to produce higher quality precision molds while conducting strong monitoring in data management and the entire mold production process. In order to improve the internal management of the enterprise, the mold progress, materials, mold status and other automated management, and finally achieve mold cost control, under this circumstance, Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. reached a cooperation with Fangtian Software after layers of screening.

Start a relationship with intelligence

The cooperation between Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. and Fangtian Software began in 2019. Yongqiang chose Fangtian Software B9 enterprise information management system product and started the group's informationization process. In December 2019, the mold management project was officially launched to meet the mold processing management requirements of Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd.'s mold department.Mold MESThe construction of the system will achieve the goals of refined control of work orders, progress management, working time statistics and traceability, production capacity control, performance evaluation, and processing costs.
"We hope to achieve precise control of mold processing progress through the software system, achieve precise management of automated scheduling in mold production, and finally achieve the reflection of mold costs and control of mold production progress, so as to effectively realize the control of mold production implementation progress," said Mr. Jiang of Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. when the project started. Mr. Jiang also made great affirmation of Fangtian software. "In this mold manufacturing industry, we have visited many mold factories that use Fangtian software. We have great trust in their implementation experience for more than 20 years. We still have to use their good experience to better realize our management. Therefore, during the implementation process, any difficulties in each department can be raised and communicated with the consultants. Only in this way can we learn from the better experience of other mold factories to enrich our management."

Intelligent mold control to reduce costs and increase efficiency

Mold production cycle management, mold maintenance history

The maintenance data of equipment and molds are entered into the system, and reminders of maintenance dates are provided to achieve digital management and improve the work efficiency of personnel.
A corresponding QR code nameplate is printed for each set of molds, and mold maintenance and production reporting is performed through PDA, thereby improving the processing efficiency of staff and the implementation of mold management and control.

Through workThe mold and tool platform manages mold repair, machine maintenance, machine repair, and gauge inspection and repair. Employees can use PDA to scan the code of molds, machines, gauges, etc. that need repair and maintenance and register the repair records, and output the repair and maintenance history of the mold, thereby improving employee work efficiency and achieving effective mold management. At the same time, for gauges with fixed maintenance cycles, fixed early warning reminders are set in the system to predict the information of gauges that need maintenance in advance, achieve information management, and improve personnel efficiency.

  

Another important task of Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. is that the mold department needs to count the actual working hours of each set of molds in the production process, and feedback the actual processing time of each part of each set of molds based on the actual work report of the workshop, so as to obtain the actual time of each set of molds through software. After the introduction of informatization, the working hours of each part and each employee in each set of molds can be counted, and the company can also conduct professional analysis of the data, saving the workload of people for statistics, and greatly improving the accuracy and timeliness of production management data requirements. At present, the workshop processing uses PDA to scan the code to report work, which is convenient for workshop personnel to report work more conveniently, and the actual operation of the operator is more convenient, which greatly improves the operating efficiency of workshop personnel, avoids waste of resources, extra work, improper management, or material loss, reduces related costs, and ensures the security and reliability of information.

Balanced distribution of production capacity to reduce workpiece blockage

Any processing plant needs to plan and arrange in advance during the production process, so PMC/production management has become a very important role in the factory. So how can production management personnel reasonably distribute the processing tasks they receive? For Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd., the technical department is responsible for entering the mold BOM into the system. The new mold requires the project department personnel to operate the big project, set the big project time, and control the big project of the entire mold. Manager Huang, the person in charge of the mold department, arranges the process of each part of the parts BOM issued by the technical department and schedules production according to the big project time. The Fangtian system automatically schedules the time of each part according to the big project time. The workshop personnel can also process the parts according to the time scheduled in the system. The person in charge can consider whether the production capacity is sufficient based on the production capacity of the Fangtian system, so as to determine whether the remaining molds need to be postponed or whether they need to be outsourced, so as to achieve a balanced distribution of production capacity and reduce workpiece congestion;
Based on the actual working hours reported by the workshop personnel and the settings of the Fangtian software, the processing cost of the molds in the mold department is automatically calculated.
Another problem faced by Yongqiang Industrial (China) Co., Ltd. was the lack of good management of molds, which resulted in the inability to control the status of molds. After the introduction of the Fangtian system, the use, return, repair and maintenance of molds were all managed through PDA, thereby controlling the actual status of each set of molds.
