Apollo Smart Factory Upgrade Project is officially launched! Digitalization opens a new chapter for future factories

On August 22, the Apollo Smart Factory Improvement Project Kick-off Conference was successfully held at Shanghai Apollo Machinery Co., Ltd. The meeting was attended by key project leaders of Apollo Machinery and core members of the Caijiang Smart Project.

At the meeting, the two sides discussed in depth the background, specific goals and implementation strategies of the company's digital intelligent upgrade. This project will focus on the optimization and upgrade of the Caijiang Manufacturing Operation Management System (CJC-MOM) and the Caijiang ERP solution, and comprehensively cover key business areas such as time-based piecework management, account set splitting, account aging analysis and standardized service operation and maintenance. Apollo will make full use of Caijiang Intelligence's rich experience in digital upgrade projects, go all out in the field of nuclear power high-end intelligent manufacturing, and fully realize digital intelligent upgrades.

Company Profile

Shanghai Apollo Machinery Co., Ltd. was established in 2001. It is a professional supplier and service provider focusing on nuclear-grade pumps for nuclear power plants, important non-nuclear-grade pump systems and nuclear power reprocessing equipment. After more than 20 years of continuous research and development, the company has achieved independent production of a number of key nuclear power pump products, especially in the fields of concrete volute seawater circulation pumps, pneumatic auxiliary feedwater pumps, electric auxiliary feedwater pumps and other products. It is in a leading position in the world. As one of the few domestic companies with core independent intellectual property rights, Apollo Machinery has become a qualified supplier of China National Nuclear Corporation, China General Nuclear Power Corporation, State Power Investment Corporation, China Huaneng Group Corporation and China Nuclear Energy Association, and was successfully listed on the New Third Board in 2015.

Solution

Apollo Machinery's products are mainly used in nuclear power plants. They are characterized by large-scale (the largest product needs to be transported to the site by three 17-meter-long vehicles for installation), single-piece customization, and multi-variety and small-batch production. Given the particularity of its subdivided industry, the company faces a series of challenges in manufacturing operations management, such as the complexity of project management, the difficulty of employee performance evaluation, and the high flexibility requirements of production plans.

In order to innovate the traditional management model, Apollo Machinery and Li Qiang, general manager of Caijiang Intelligence, jointly promoted the construction of the ERP system as early as the establishment of Caijiang Intelligence, starting the early cooperation and forward-looking layout of both parties on the road to digital transformation. This digital enhancement project will further deepen these key applications and make deeper upgrades and expansions for the enterprise ERP management system and manufacturing operations management system (CJC-MOM).

The core function of the Caijiang Manufacturing Operation Management System (CJC-MOM) is to help manufacturing companies achieve cloud management, interconnection and monitoring of the production process. The system can run through the entire process from the entry of raw materials into the factory to the flow between workers' equipment and then to the formation of products leaving the factory, and record and control the progress, quality, efficiency, cost, etc. in the production process. This will achieve collaborative manufacturing, process traceability and information sharing in the production process. The value of the system lies in improving the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of production process data, improving worker performance, reducing production cycles, and reducing quality errors.

Users can perform production planning management, production process monitoring, production data analysis and optimization, and production efficiency evaluation in real time on mobile devices. Improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and optimize resource allocation, so as to achieve efficient achievement of production goals.

Working time management: record direct and indirect labor time, analyze working time efficiency and reduce manual errors, and improve the effective use of labor resources.

Start and completion: automatically track the start and end time of production, optimize the production process, and shorten the production cycle.

Material control: accurately track the quantity and location of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, record the entire process of production material turnover such as production collection, return, and transfer, and reduce material waste and inventory backlog.

Production traceability: formulate production plans and monitor the status of production lines in real time, record the entire production process of products, support rapid location of problem sources, and improve customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Intelligent analysis: collect production data for in-depth analysis, predict production trends, provide insights to assist decision-making, and achieve preventive maintenance.
