As the second batch of pilot cities for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in China, Nanjing is accelerating the creation of replicable and promotable “Nanjing sample”. In order to give full play to the role of benchmarking, Nanjing Bureau of Industry and Information Technology launched a series of publicity “transformation ‘Ning’ distance”, take you into the transformation benchmarking pilot enterprises, see how they break the theme, improve quality, leap level. The 12th phase focuses on Nanjing Nanchuan Intelligent Technology Co., LTD.
Nanjing Nanchuan Intelligent Technology Co. LTD
Industry: Intelligent manufacturing equipment
Digitization level of smes after transformation: Level two
I. Basic Information of the enterprise >>
Nanjing Nanchuan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the development and production of industrial robot reducer. The company’s leading product industrial robot precision reducer, through cycloid gear modification technology, bearing performance test technology under robot application conditions, fatigue life test technology, the establishment of the whole machine Angle transfer error control model and cycloid gear loading model, in the Angle transfer error, return error, empty range, efficiency, noise and other key performance indicators have reached the international similar level. It is suitable for welding robots with high precision requirements, high-speed and fast-paced handling robots, etc.

Digital Transformation Requirements
The digitalization of the industrial chain supply chain faces the needs: warehousing operations rely on manual experience, lack of standardization of processes, and long-term low core operation efficiency; The accuracy of inventory management is low, and manual bookkeeping and paper document transmission are easy to miss and misremember. It is necessary to take the deepening application of SAP system as the core, integrate WMS system, intelligent library, AGV truck and other equipment, bar code, RFID and other technologies, and build a digital management system for the whole process. In the storage link, it needs to automatically collect material specifications, batches and other information by scanning code, and bind with SAP system in real time. In inventory management, intelligent sensors monitor the occupancy and storage environment of warehouse locations in real time, support dynamic cycle inventory, and automatically warn inventory anomalies. When leaving the warehouse, the warehouse location is automatically matched according to the order, the code is scanned to ensure the accurate distribution of materials, and the data is transmitted back and updated in real time.
Intelligent management decision-making digital face demand: with the substantial increase in enterprise capacity planning, the original A6 ERP system has been unable to support the development needs. At present, the data of core business such as production, procurement and warehousing are scattered, and the information exchange of each link is not smooth, forming data islands, and it is difficult for the management to carry out scientific decision-making based on real-time data. The system has weak computing ability, shortcomings in material planning, cost accounting, inventory control and other functions, and problems such as inconsistent inventory accounts and cumbersome business processes are prominent. The existing system does not conform to the unified information planning of the group, the master data is not standard, and the efficiency of cross-module collaboration is low. In order to adapt to the production capacity target and integrate with the SAP system of the group, enterprises urgently need to complete the ERP system upgrade, open up the full link data of production, supply and marketing, industry and finance, and empower management decision-making with digitalization to improve the overall operation level.
Iii. Project Transformation Scheme >>
This digital transformation project focuses on the pain points of enterprise digital transformation, takes system construction and intelligent equipment import as the core, and constructs the whole process digital operation system. The details are as follows:
Upgrade ERP system
Upgrade from the existing A6 ERP system to SAP, launch SD/FICO/QM/PP/MM modules, and build an integrated software, hardware and network security architecture. Synchronize and standardize four major types of master data of materials, customers, suppliers and cost centers, implement core modules of production, sales, procurement and finance, and streamline and optimize more than ten business processes. At the same time, we set up hierarchical training and long-term operation and maintenance system to ensure the stable operation of the system 7×24 hours, and consolidate the digital base of the enterprise.
Import intelligent logistics equipment
Integrated intelligent warehouse, AGV truck, UWB positioning equipment, etc., to create an automated material access and transfer system, to realize the full link intelligent flow of raw materials, work-in-process and finished products.
Build the WMS system
It covers core processes such as receiving goods and putting them on shelves, ADAPTS to multi-area management, and realizes the full life cycle traceability of materials through bar code and RFID technology.
Iv. Project Transformation Effect >>
Through this transformation, the enterprise has deployed the intelligent WMS warehouse management system. In addition to the regular in-out and out-of-storage and inventory inventory functions, it can linkage with automatic equipment such as stacker and AGV to realize automatic material access and intelligent allocation of warehouse locations. Combined with RFID bar code technology to accurately track materials, improve storage space utilization and operation efficiency, but also can be integrated with ERP and other systems, synchronize production and order data, ensure inventory and production coordination.
In addition, the upgraded SAP, as an enterprise-level digital platform, plays a central role in the transformation. Through the integration of finance, procurement, production and other business data through SAP-ERP, the full chain collaboration is realized. SAPS/4HANA supports real-time data analysis to help optimize decision making. It can connect with intelligent database WMS, MES and other systems, open up the data link of “storaging-production-finance”, eliminate information islands, promote enterprises to upgrade from digital business processes to intelligent operations, and improve market response speed and resource allocation efficiency.
