Machining Industry

The production model of large-scale mechanical equipment is mainly organized according to customer orders. It is a typical small-volume and diversified order form. The products are highly customized, with a wide variety of raw materials. The material preparation and production cycle is long, and the production process is complex. Manual filling of process cards is often used for simple data archiving. Large components are circulated between processes mainly through large cranes and rail cars, while small and medium-sized components are transported by forklifts or manually. Material parts need to be complete and delivered just in time. Due to changes in customer needs, product process routes are often adjusted, and ECN engineering changes need to be issued in a timely manner at the production site.

Industry Status

Challenges

· Customers have numerous personalized needs and a diverse product range, making it difficult for companies to rationally plan production.

· Complex processes, with imbalances among them, are resource-constrained and lead to delivery delays.

· Complex product structures, with numerous components and a mix of outsourcing and in-house production.

· Frequent process changes complicate the calculation and scheduling of production plans.

· Frequent last-minute orders often render production plans unrealistic.

· The large number of outsourced manufacturers and parts makes it difficult to track and control the quality and delivery dates of outsourced products.

· The numerous data collection points make data collection and maintenance a heavy workload, and data is often distributed across different departments.

01. Production Operation Scheduling

Automatically analyze and break down production plans into task units, balance equipment capacity, assign processing equipment, and compile operation plans.

02. Operation Plan Adjustment

Automatically extract resource information such as raw materials, equipment, tools, processes, and workers. Using the MES system's optimized scheduling algorithms, it automatically generates operation plans and distributes them to shop floor teams.

03. Production Operation Scheduling

Online operation plan adjustments enable real-time decisions on changes to production plans, process routes, and resource allocation to meet actual production requirements.

04. Data Collection and Analysis

Timely collects production workshop information and organizes various data such as equipment performance, product series, part types, and process charts.

05. Material Tracking and Traceability

Collects actual production data and production order completion information, displays, analyzes, and organizes them, and provides the production scheduling module with the required actual production data.
