In the reports of the Two Sessions, it was mentioned: “Deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, consolidate and strengthen the foundation of the real economy.” In the manufacturing sector, smart factories centered on technological innovation help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency by optimizing various production processes. At a time when the development of advanced manufacturing clusters is accelerating, smart factories have become the choice for traditional manufacturing enterprises to transform. With higher and more sophisticated production technologies, smart factories enhance corporate revenue and embark on a new journey of high-quality development.

2022 presents both opportunities and challenges for traditional manufacturing enterprises. The opportunities lie in the continuous policy support, which, with multiple boosts, eases the development burden of traditional manufacturing enterprises; the challenges come from the upgrade of digital strategy. Under the strategy of deeply implementing innovation-driven development, traditional manufacturing enterprises must undergo a “transformation” to seize the opportunities of the times, and transforming into smart factories is the first choice for innovative production.

Traditional manufacturing enterprises face many obstacles in their transformation to smart factories, including pressure on personnel training and financial pressure. For traditional manufacturing enterprises, any reform related to change inevitably requires a large amount of funds for rapid implementation. This time, for the transformation to smart factories, Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as “ALSI”) brings an unexpected “breakthrough” to various enterprises—low cost, low investment, no need for time-consuming and labor-intensive personnel training. ALSI's equipment status monitoring system makes the transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises to smart factories simpler and more efficient.

Adhering to the Japanese corporate spirit of craftsmanship and fine workmanship, Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd., with over thirty years of industry experience, empowers Chinese manufacturing enterprises to upgrade comprehensively. The ALSI equipment status monitoring system, which has both high industry reputation and strong applicability, can achieve compatibility with more than 90% of old equipment relying solely on the patented smart data collector TS-10. For the collected data, the ALSI equipment status monitoring system's auxiliary software—the Lighthouse application system—can analyze all data and provide visual reports for managers, facilitating timely adjustments to smart factory production plans.

The ALSI equipment status monitoring system can monitor all equipment in the workshop in real time. Even minor pauses can be captured, making subsequent maintenance work more convenient for enterprises. Such a factory is a smart factory under the innovation strategy. Following the pace of policies can lead to better development prospects. The transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises into smart factories is already a trend of the times. Seizing the multiple benefits of transforming into smart factories, enterprises can ride the east wind of the times and gain more dividends.
