“I have long wanted to buy new energy vehicles, but I am always worried about the difficulty of charging them.” Although the “charging anxiety” has brought many troubles, it still can not stop the development momentum of new energy vehicles. With the increasing number of new energy vehicles in China, charging facilities are facing an unprecedented contradiction between supply and demand. As one of the “three giants” in the domestic charging industry, Star Charging is not only winning orders and the market, but also facing the supply chain management challenges brought by business expansion.

In this context, Schneider Electric has provided supply chain management consulting solutions for various supply chain management problems brought about by the rapid expansion of Star charging business, helping to create a collaborative, robust, agile and efficient end-to-end supply chain, which has increased its supplier timely delivery rate by 20%, supplier quality qualification rate by 10%, and domestic inventory turnover by 20%. The amount at risk is more than 24 million. Design lean production line for the key products of DC charging pile, and increase the production capacity of its direct flow line by 25%.

The supply chain dilemma of Star charging is only a microcosm of the transformation of many enterprises. In the process of accelerating the digital and low-carbon dual transformation, the challenges faced by enterprises are not the same, which also requires the dual transformation to closely follow the actual situation of the enterprise from the beginning, make overall planning, and “plan and move”. To meet this demand, based on its own transformation experience and advanced technology integration, combined with traditional business advantages, Schneider Electric innovatively launched the consulting business, through the two beams, eight columns and two bases, from the three levels of strategy, operation and implementation, combined with management consulting enabling and complex comprehensive application, through the design, construction, operation and maintenance of hardware and software integration. Provide customized solutions for enterprises to accelerate the digital low-carbon dual transformation of the industry.

Consult first, open up the “two veins” of dual transformation

Faced with the requirements of high-quality development and “dual carbon goals”, the trend of integration of enterprise digitalization and green and low-carbon “dual transformation” is becoming more and more obvious. According to the research of Schneider Electric Business Value Institute, the two major trends of digitalization and low-carbon integration are accelerating, and 93% of the surveyed leading enterprises have formulated a “dual-line integration” strategy of digitalization and dual-carbon goals, which requires technical support and industrial collaboration. Small and medium-sized enterprises also need comprehensive empowerment from strategy formulation to implementation. In this process, as the first step to release the value of digital low-carbon technology, consulting can help enterprises open up the “two veins” of transformation: on the one hand, it can deeply explore the needs of enterprises and carry out top-level design; On the other hand, through the understanding of enterprise differentiation, it can be translated into specific paths and initiatives for digital low-carbon transformation.
