With the continuous increase in tire demand, the intelligent transformation of domestic tire factories has accelerated in recent years, and progress and breakthroughs have been made in the following areas:
Digitization and Intelligence
Intelligent production process: with the help of industrial Internet, big data, AI and other technologies, the head tire manufacturer has established a data platform for the whole life cycle of tire manufacturing. Through the comprehensive application of automation equipment, the entire process from raw material warehousing to finished product outbound can be automated. For example, Jiangsu General Technology Co., Ltd. has created an intelligent warehousing business scenario that refines process control through WMS and WCS systems, integrates multiple warehousing equipment, and serves intelligent production distribution management, improving the efficiency of warehousing, logistics, and production management.
Precision production planning: By utilizing the production scheduling system, production resources are accurately allocated and reasonable production plans are formulated based on sales orders and delivery schedules.For example, after SENTURY Tire implemented the production scheduling system of ZQSOFT, the plan release speed has been greatly improved, the production efficiency has increased by an average of 45%, and the plan fulfillment rate is close to 100%.
Energy conservation and emission reduction in the production process: Enterprises optimize production processes, control energy consumption, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce energy consumption and waste emissions in the production process. A considerable number of enterprises have established energy management platforms to comprehensively collect, evaluate, and analyze various energy data from factories, guide workshops and equipment to continuously carry out energy-saving work, and promote factory energy conservation, emission reduction, and resource optimization.
Customization and Flexibility
Product customization: The increasing demand for personalized cars from consumers has led to the development of tires towards personalized design and customized services. Tire companies provide customized tire products based on customers' different needs, such as vehicle models, driving habits, road conditions, etc., to meet the diverse demands of the market.
Flexible production: In order to adapt to the production characteristics of multiple varieties and small batches, enterprises have integrated intelligent design, intelligent management, intelligent production and other intelligent manufacturing processes, transformed traditional large-scale production lines into personalized customized flexible production lines, which can quickly adjust production plans and product specifications, effectively meet user customization and flexible production needs, and shorten product production cycles.
Collaboration and integration
Industrial chain synergy: The tire industry includes links such as raw material supply, production and manufacturing, sales and services, and has a long industrial chain. Production planning management is no longer limited to within the enterprise, but extends upstream and downstream, establishing close cooperative relationships with raw material suppliers, automobile manufacturers, etc., achieving collaborative development of the industry chain, and improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the entire industry chain. For example, tire enterprises and automobile enterprises carry out strategic cooperation to jointly develop tire products suitable for new energy vehicles, autonomous vehicle and other specific models.
Internal collaboration within the enterprise: Production planning management requires close collaboration with various departments such as research and development, sales, and logistics to achieve information sharing and collaborative work. By establishing a unified information management system, breaking down information silos between departments, improving the overall operational efficiency and response speed of the enterprise, and ensuring the smooth implementation of production plans.
ZQSOFT has made remarkable achievements in the construction of tire intelligent chemical plant in recent years, and has been recognized by SENTURY, Jinyu, zodo and other customers.
