December 2021. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments jointly issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Smart Manufacturing Development," which states that smart factories are the main direction for factory transformation and upgrading. With strong national support, smart factories have entered an industry trend. How to build a solid "firewall" for smart factories? This article provides a reference-worthy answer.

As smart factories are promoted nationwide, various intelligent devices and software have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, riding the fast track of smart factories. Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "ALSI") takes the policy support for smart factories as its guide, gains market-oriented revenue by providing professional intelligent services, and offers intelligent solutions for manufacturing factories based on its unique ALSI intelligent algorithm.

ALSI's Intelligent Maintenance System is a set of intelligent information systems built by ALSI for factory equipment maintenance, covering data collection, further processing and computation, and finally establishing an intelligent information system. With strong technical support, this system builds a solid "firewall" for smart factories. Before using the ALSI Intelligent Maintenance System, factory managers were plagued by issues such as inability to track repair progress, inability to monitor maintenance in real time, and reliance on experience for maintenance performance evaluation. According to ALSI, these problems are caused by opaque repair processes or inability to track work order flow. After using the ALSI Intelligent Maintenance System, during the entire daily operation and maintenance process, the system automatically and accurately records the start and end times of maintenance workers' tasks. By analyzing task times, it is easy to determine whether maintenance workers have completed operations according to standards or whether they have exceeded the time limit. This system uses a maintenance APP as the carrier, providing repair workflows, maintenance process tracking, real-time display of equipment operation plan progress, and effectively measuring indicators such as the number and time of work orders executed by different maintenance workers, the average time spent on repairing each piece of equipment, the response time of maintenance personnel when receiving work orders, and their initiative during the maintenance process. It comprehensively evaluates the rationality of maintenance personnel performance indicators, achieving full-process management from repair requests to machine startup verification. This forms dynamic operation management, including visual dashboards for repair delays, maintenance delays, and personnel movement dynamics, which facilitates dynamic management of maintenance dispatching and operations, ensuring efficient use of maintenance resources and significant improvement in maintenance quality, empowering manufacturing factories to transform into smart factories.

The construction of smart factories is urgent. Based on the powerful ALSI intelligent algorithm, the ALSI Intelligent Maintenance System integrates equipment conditions and work order data during maintenance to achieve real-time control and visual management of the maintenance process. It provides multi-dimensional and multi-level decision support for maintenance personnel performance evaluation and skill improvement, building the "firewall" of smart factories in equipment maintenance more firmly and solidly.
