The convening of this kick-off meeting marks that the cooperation between the two sides has entered a substantive stage and will inject strong impetus into the intelligent reform of the printing industry.
Strong alliance, embarking on a new journey of intelligent transformation together

Since its establishment, Maidian Color Printing has always focused on the production of printed materials such as color boxes, hardcover boxes, manuals, labels, etc. With a professional production, development, design, and sales team, it has developed into an elite service team and has won national high-tech enterprises, Jiangsu printing demonstration enterprises, Jiangsu four-star cloud enterprises, Suzhou 3A green factories, etc. However, in the increasingly diversified current situation, the construction of existing smart factories needs to accelerate breakthroughs in flexible production, data collaboration, and other dimensions.

Xinhuasan Industrial Internet is a new generation of demonstration platform for the integrated development of information technology and manufacturing industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It has worked hard in the field of industrial Internet for many years, and has profound technology accumulation and rich project experience. Relying on advanced technologies such as intelligent perception, Internet of Things, edge computing, big data analysis, etc., it has successfully helped many enterprises to achieve digital and intelligent transformation, and provided strong support for intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

This time, the two sides worked together. With the help of the technical advantages and professional experience of Xinhuasan Industrial Internet, Xinhuasan Industrial Internet used the technology of Xinhuasan Industrial Internet as a practice scenario to put advanced technology into practice. The two sides complement each other's advantages, and worked together to build a benchmark project for intelligent factories in the printing industry.
Four core values, outlining the blueprint for smart factories

The intelligent factory architecture takes the industrial Internet platform as the core, integrates the Internet of Things and big data technology, breaks through the equipment and system data barriers, builds a whole process visualization and intelligent system, and drives efficient collaboration and accurate decision-making.
01
Data business can be connected, breaking down information barriers
In traditional printing factories, personnel management, production management, and business management systems operate independently of each other, forming information silos that result in low production efficiency and lack of data support for decision-making. Xinhuasan Industrial Internet is a smart factory solution tailored for dot screen printing. It will integrate the whole chain data of quotation management, prepress management, production management, equipment management, supply chain management, financial management and other systems through the industrial Internet platform. Through the MOM data platform, ERP, MES, WMS, QMS, TPM, BI, HR, OA, CRM, SRM, IOT, EMS and other management systems are integrated to enable real-time sharing of key information such as pre press progress, order progress, inventory status, equipment operation, and energy management. The entire production process is visualized, and managers can monitor the real-time production status, efficiency, quality, and energy consumption indicators of each production process through the integration of IoT data in the data center. Abnormal situations can be quickly responded to, business collaboration efficiency can be greatly improved, and order delivery cycles can be significantly shortened, providing strong data-driven support for enterprise operation and management.
02
Experience and ability can be accumulated, inheriting the wisdom of craftsmanship
Through long-term production practice, wheat dot color printing has accumulated a wealth of valuable process experience, such as color management, ink blending, equipment debugging, etc. However, these experiences often rely on the oral transmission of experienced masters and are difficult to systematically pass down. Through this intelligent factory project, Xinhuasan Industrial Internet will help Maidian color printing build a process knowledge base, and transform the experience of senior engineers into standardized process parameters. The training period for new employees can be shortened by 40%, and the process consistency can be improved to more than 95%. At the same time, based on device sensor data, a device health management system is established to achieve preventive maintenance of key equipment, reduce downtime by 30%, and improve overall equipment efficiency (OEE) by 12%. A comprehensive quality traceability system is established, which binds each batch of products through QR code/barcode technology. The entire process data from raw material warehousing to finished product outbound can be traced, and the time for locating quality issues has been reduced from 4 hours to 30 minutes, ensuring stable and reliable product quality.

03
Application iteration inheritable, reducing innovation costs
Traditional software development has a long development cycle and high costs, making it difficult to quickly respond to changes in enterprise business needs. Xinhuasan Industrial Internet introduced a low code development platform for MacDot Color Printing to support business personnel to independently develop lightweight applications such as work order management and report statistics. The iteration cycle was shortened from two weeks of traditional development to 2-3 days, and IT spending was reduced by 30%. At the same time, an industrial APP reuse system is established to consolidate common scenario applications in the printing industry, such as intelligent adjustment of printing pressure and prediction of ink usage. The deployment cycle of new production lines is compressed from 6 months to 3 months, and replication costs are reduced by 50%. In addition, by continuously optimizing AI algorithms through accumulated production data, such as defect detection and energy consumption optimization models, the accuracy of the algorithms is improved by 8% -10% annually, achieving continuous evolution of applications and making enterprise innovation more efficient and cost-effective.
04
Smart factories can evolve and support long-term development
The smart factory project adopts a hierarchical planning architecture and has developed a three-stage evolution path of "planning construction iteration". The first stage focuses on the basic interconnection layer, realizing device networking and data collection, laying the data foundation for intelligent applications; In the second stage, we will promote the construction of intelligent optimization layers, deploy intelligent recommendation systems for printing parameters, intelligent scheduling systems, etc., promote process automation and intelligent decision-making, and improve production efficiency; The third stage is to build an ecological collaboration layer, connect upstream paper companies and downstream customer systems, achieve demand forecasting and capacity sharing, and create a collaborative innovation industry ecosystem. This phased evolution model ensures that the smart factory of Maidian color printing can continue to upgrade with technological development and changes in enterprise demand, maintaining its leading position in the industry.
