In April 2024, the Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology announced the list of intelligent workshops and factories in Henan Province for 2024. The traction machine intelligent factory of Schindler Drive Company was on the list and was rated as an intelligent factory in Henan Province for 2024.
As the largest elevator traction machine manufacturer in central and northwestern China, Schindler Drive has positioned intelligent transformation as the core breakthrough and focal point for driving enterprise innovation. The company has established a corporate-level industrial network and information security system, forming intelligent workshops for traction machine brakes, general assembly, and other key processes.
Equipment Automation: The workshops integrate advanced intelligent equipment, including ABB industrial robots, precision CNC milling centers, and robotic reciprocating conveyor systems, to optimize production efficiency.
Information Digitization: A research-and-development (R&D) manufacturing integration system has been implemented, enabling end-to-end digital management through ERP-EAP integration and barcode/QR code technology. This covers the entire value chain—from planning, production scheduling, and warehouse logistics to processing, quality inspection, equipment monitoring, and inventory management—with full traceability of product quality data.
Platform Construction:
- A supplier management platform incorporating the new SQM (Supplier Quality Management) system empowers digital supplier management through dual-system and technological integration.
- A host component traceability platform, integrated with EAP, SPEED, and other systems, facilitates real-time sharing and interaction of product quality information with customers.
- The EAP system has enabled digital management across "people, machines, materials, processes, measurements, and data," establishing a full-life cycle "digital-intelligent" QMS (Quality Management System) model that has positioned Schindler Drive as a leader in the competitive market landscape.
Next, taking this selection as an opportunity, the company will continue to advance intelligent and information technology initiatives and continuously explore new pathways for digital and intelligent production. Empowering high-quality enterprise development through intelligent manufacturing represents the original aspiration behind Schindler Drive's construction of its smart factory. Taking this as a new starting point, Schindler Drive will delve into deeper realms of intelligence to continuously enhance production efficiency and comprehensive resource utilization, reduce operational costs and energy consumption per unit of output value, and make greater contributions to the "dual carbon" goals.
