Yangzhou Xingnuo Brush Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xingnuo Brush Industry") is a small and medium-sized enterprise focusing on providing high-quality toothbrushes, combs, and plastic products for hotels, with an annual sales revenue of up to 100 million yuan.

For small and medium-sized enterprises like Xingnuo Brush Industry, the level of intelligence in equipment such as injection molding machines, glue injection machines, and manipulators is usually low, and the replacement cycle is slow, with many old machines still in use. At the same time, considering the cost sensitivity of small and medium-sized enterprises, large systems are often difficult to implement. The "small, fast, light, and precise" lean digital solution developed by Alps Intelligent Manufacturing, with its low cost and low threshold, exactly meets the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, providing an effective path for the digital transformation of SMEs.

So, how did Alps Intelligent Manufacturing help Xingnuo Brush Industry achieve its digital transformation and realize an 83.3% improvement in response efficiency?

Xingnuo Brush Industry's Requirements

Xingnuo Brush Industry's expectations: to meet order delivery needs and pursue rapid business growth.

Current requirements: to understand the production progress of each order, ensure on-time or early delivery, and retain existing customers.

Long-term considerations: to meet existing customer order deliveries, win more orders, and promote business growth.

Alps Intelligent Manufacturing Helps Xingnuo Brush Industry Identify Specific Challenges in Meeting These Requirements

Lack of management for abnormal event causes hinders downtime cause analysis, affecting production efficiency.

Lack of data for objective evaluation of maintenance personnel's work easily leads to mutual blame, further extending equipment repair time.

Untimely notification of production abnormalities affects machine utilization rate.

Ineffective management of spare parts leads to difficulty in finding parts and waste.

Managers cannot promptly obtain information on the correspondence between orders and equipment, machine utilization rate, production status, and output, making it difficult to accurately control order production progress.
