The introduction of information technology combined with intelligent manufacturing not only allowed the two parties to form a long-term strategic information partnership, but also a clearly visible future, becoming a model of mould information technology in Zhejiang Province and even the whole country.

"Speed ​​determines success or failure. We shortened the delivery period, increased the scope of orders, and ensured that the site was more orderly than before." The Yokogawa Mold MES project launch conference also focused on promoting production APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) and strengthening the implementation goals and introduction plans of human-machine integration. On-site dispatch is systematized to reduce human intervention, and production information is fed back to the system in real time through Barcode. The correct and real-time feedback speeds up the response and decision-making time of the manufacturing site, serving as a backing for the company's rapid response.
