Common challenges and practical paths in the digitalization of overseas tire factories

When establishing overseas tire plants, manufacturers face more than production replication challenges. Workforce diversity, cultural differences, and inconsistent management standards often complicate operations. Relying on manual coordination and experience-based management can easily lead to execution gaps and inefficiencies.

Digital systems offer effective solutions. Unified MES, APS, and data platforms allow headquarters to replicate proven management models, business processes, and quality standards across overseas plants—ensuring governance is established before large-scale operations begin.

However, overseas digitalization is not a simple copy-and-paste exercise. Systems must support multiple languages, flexible configuration, and on-site usability to accommodate diverse workforces. Consideration must also be given to network conditions, equipment variations, and local compliance requirements.

In overseas tire manufacturing projects, ZQSOFT balances standardization with flexibility through modular system design and phased implementation. This approach helps enterprises achieve consistent operations across regions while reducing construction and operational risks in overseas plants.
