How to build your own smart factory?
In the digital era, the manufacturing industry needs to penetrate the new generation of information technology into all aspects of design, process, production and logistics, and build new intelligent factories, digital factories and intelligent workshops to help upgrade the intelligent manufacturing of traditional industries. butThe planning and construction of intelligent factory is a very complicated system engineering. How should enterprises "simplify"?
What is a "smart factory"?
The factory is an efficient production and manufacturing mode, which integrates digitalization, networking, automation, intelligent technology and manufacturing technology, coordinates the production process and optimizes the production process, and realizes the optimization and integration of product design, production, logistics, quality inspection and other links.
The foundation and core of building an intelligent factory is ERP system informatization and automatic management. Based on MES system, APS system, WMS system, PLM system, etc. are horizontally configured, and sensor technology, wireless communication, intelligent digital technology and other technologies are used.Create an intelligent factory with interconnected devices and efficient collaboration..
Enterprise resource planning system,It is the core system of enterprise informatization, managing sales, production, procurement, warehouse, quality, cost accounting, etc.
PLM
Product life cycle management system,It is responsible for the management of product design drawings, documents, design process, design changes and engineering configuration, providing the most important data source BOM for ERP system and the most important data source process route file for MES system.
MES
Manufacturing system,It is responsible for the digital management of the production process in the workshop, realizes the deep integration of information and equipment, and provides complete, timely and accurate production execution data for ERP system, which is the foundation of intelligent factory.
WMS
Warehouse management system,It has the functions of warehousing, warehousing, warehouse allocation, etc. It receives warehousing and warehousing bills from ERP system and warehousing and warehousing instructions from MES system, and cooperates with AGV trolley to complete the automation of material distribution, thus realizing the unified warehousing information management of three-dimensional warehouse and plane warehouse.
APS/ equipment management, etc
Data collection and management,It is the blood of data intelligent factory construction, which flows among application systems. By collecting the equipment status data in real time, the capacity data of equipment can be provided for production scheduling.

Green years, fingertips, the arrival of graduation season. Yesterday, I was still in a trance, and I felt that time was so short. Far and wide, each going his own way. Started their different life paths. Looking forward to it.

How to design and practice an intelligent factory?
In the construction of smart factories, the misunderstanding of most enterprises lies inAt the initial stage of construction, systematic planning and design were not emphasized.That is, the material flow system and information flow system were not systematically planned and designed, and the existence of the intelligent factory was discovered after it was built and operated.Isolated island of automation and isolated island of informatization, seriously affecting the overall operation efficiency and quality of intelligent factories, thus affecting the full play of the value of intelligent manufacturing in enterprises.
Enterprise intelligent factory construction can take"Overall planning and step-by-step implementation"Principle, the architecture and function design of each system and the interface design of data between systems are the key to the planning. Each system should realize the seamless integration of information and data interaction, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of "intelligent manufacturing" of enterprises.
Dingjie Software believes that,There is no unified path for intelligent factory construction, and enterprises of different industries, scales and manufacturing modes have different ways to promote intelligent factories.
There are three steps in planning a scientific intelligent factory: defining the construction/renovation goal of the intelligent factory, planning a clear realization path, and having digital ideas.

Future factory panorama
Dingjie has been deeply involved in the manufacturing industry for 40 years, and has assisted more than 1,000 customer enterprises to upgrade their workshops and plan and build new factories. Based on the "top-level design and planning of smart factories", Dingjie has spared no effort to give enterprises comprehensive support and assistance from the methodology of practice path, scheme deployment and benefit realization. It has explored some successful ways and created a series of smart factory practices in the industry.

Practice of "Other People’s Home" Smart Factory
① Smart factory, empowering manufacturing service.
Zhiqi Railway Equipment Co., Ltd. mainly produces wheelsets, axle parts and related parts for high-speed trains, EMU trains, urban rail vehicles and other railway vehicles.
In 2009, Zhizhi cooperated with Dingjie in information projects for more than 10 years. In 2017, it started the intelligent manufacturing project. In 2018, it was selected as the "Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration Project" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Dingjie Software is tailored for Zhiqi."Networking of production equipment, visualization of production data, paperless production documents, transparent production process, fewer people in the production site and intelligent production links"Intelligent manufacturing strategic planning, and the first layout in the field of intelligent manufacturing and AI artificial intelligence application, seeking the change and breakthrough of manufacturing methods, and accelerating the realization of manufacturing service through artificial intelligence and digital operation.
② Yahoo Smart Factory, to improve the application efficiency of the whole process.
Zhejiang Yahoo Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production and sales of car seat accessories, providing matching car seat accessories for brands such as FAW-Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen and Weimar.
In 2015, Yahoo began to understand contact intelligent manufacturing, and embarked on the road of intelligent transformation step by step. Yahoo Dingjie integrates ERP, BPM, PLM, MES and intelligent logistics systems, breaks through barriers between operation layer and workshop layer, gradually improves and promotes management benefits, and has won unanimous praise from enterprises, customers and government organizations, and was selected."List of Intelligent Factories in Digital Workshops in Zhejiang Province".
③ The model factory of intelligent manufacturing of the larger group, and the whole process quality traceability.
Ningbo Bigger Group, one of the top 100 bearing enterprises in China, owns a number of automatic production lines for bearings and other auto parts, with total assets of over RMB 1 billion, and its products have entered the world’s outstanding auto manufacturing companies.
Through digitalization of design, products, production equipment, manufacturing process and management, Dingjie and Alibaba Cloud help Ningbo Bigger Group.Create a "digital workshop" with an annual output of 2 million sets of precision bearings, to achieve a 25% increase in production efficiency, a 22% reduction in operating costs, and a 35% reduction in product development cycle.
