Manufacturing is an important part of a country’s real economy, and equipment manufacturing is the backbone of the manufacturing industry. China’s manufacturing industry wants to truly move from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing, and the development of equipment manufacturing plays a decisive role in it. According to the industrial production data recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in May this year, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8% year-on-year, significantly faster than the growth rate of all industries above designated size, and the development trend of high-end, intelligent and green industries is obvious.

At present, the equipment manufacturing industry is facing two major problems: the market demand for customization is increasing, and the order delivery cycle is getting shorter and shorter, so the coordinated development of the supply chain is particularly important. At the 2023 Schneider Electric Innovation Summit with the theme of “Innovation and ecology, accelerating dual transformation”, Zhou Dandan, purchasing manager of Hangzhou Jiu Yi Machinery Co., LTD., pointed out that equipment manufacturing enterprises are facing challenges of supply chain coordination, including timely and accurate material procurement logistics. Material supply quality and efficiency, production scheduling and material processing planning, data reliability and production processing quality, etc.

Zhou Dandan believes that equipment manufacturing enterprises should promote the application of supply chain systems in a “small step” way, which can be divided into five steps: from special procurement to regular procurement; Expand from one plant to all plants; From workpiece to common standard parts; From one supplier to the entire supply chain; Collaborate with external supply chain from internal production management.

Hangzhou Samores Technology Co., LTD., a subsidiary of Jiuyi Machinery, is leveraging Schneider Electric’s consulting services and software application solutions for machinery and equipment manufacturers to promote digital transformation. So far, thanks to the pre-deployed Schneider Electric EcoStruxure supply chain consultant supply synergy, Samore has reduced inventory levels by 13% and increased on-time deliveries by 25%. On this basis, Samores will also promote the deployment of supply chain consultant assembly coordination, quality management consultant and other systems with Schneider Electric in the future, and gradually realize green intelligent manufacturing.
