When traditional factories consider building a smart factory, their first instinct is often to start with hardware upgrades—investing heavily in smart equipment to replace aging machinery. However, 90% of equipment in global manufacturing factories is outdated, making it unrealistic to replace it all at once. How can a smart factory be built at low cost without eliminating old equipment?

Over the past three decades, Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "ALSI") has helped plan and build smart factories across seven domestic plants of the Alps Alpine Group, accumulating extensive hands-on experience and deep insights into the needs of Chinese enterprises. As one of the leading professional solution providers in the smart manufacturing sector, ALSI offers an intelligent production equipment management solution for domestic manufacturers. By deploying smart data collector TS-10 externally on the equipment to automatically capture operational data, and installing digital dashboards across the factory floor, the solution enables real-time monitoring and visual analysis of equipment data. This empowers factory managers to quickly identify, pinpoint, and resolve issues, driving continuous improvement on the shop floor and facilitating the construction of a smart factory.
