Digital transformation of the world's leading construction machinery manufacturer

Challenge

As a high-end equipment discrete manufacturing enterprise, SANY's manufacturing mode is dispersed and independent, requiring a large amount of manpower and material resources, which leads to increased corporate costs. To meet the needs of high-quality development, SANY has embarked on a journey of digital transformation.

At the same time, the market has placed higher demands on service quality, and SANY urgently needs to establish a differentiated competitive advantage.

Solutions

• Summary

  SANY Group in collaboration with ROOTCLOUD, is implementing a comprehensive digital transformation. The entire process focuses on starting from the marketing, manufacturing, and operational sectors, and adopting a series of measures.

• Key Factors and Data Connection in Factory

  ROOTCLOUD Industrial IoT Platform enable stable and real-time data collection from our factories, workshops, and production lines, including people, machines, materials, and systems.

• Automation Transformation in the Entire Process Section

  Based on the unified platform, SANY has implemented automation transformation in the entire process section, including cutting, forming, welding, machining, assembly, painting, debugging, shipping, and warehousing logistics.

• Industrial App Building and IT System Data Integration

  At the same time, various industrial apps have been built, and these IT system data are integrated into the ROOTCLOUD Platform for combined analysis with real-time field data.

• Industrial Data Visualization

  Then this integration affords SANY the ability to scrutinize up-to-the-minute production insights on widescreen displays.

• Global Construction Machinery IoT

  Furthermore, SANY has networked nearly one million pieces of construction equipment's real-time operational data connected to the ROOTCLOUD Industrial IoT Platform.

Benefits

• Equipment Utilization Optimization

  SANY Group has connected a total of 20,000 "water, electricity and steam" meters, with a compliance rate of 95.16%; a total of nearly 1 million global engineering equipment has been connected, with a compliance rate of 98.64%.

• Cost Saving in Energy Management

  Based on energy meter data, we established a production energy consumption optimization model, carried out energy efficiency identification and energy saving management of manufacturing processes, and achieved a year-on-year cost saving of 11.35% for the group, an annual saving of more than 70 million yuan.

• Increase in Production Efficiency

  Establish the best working model of production equipment, and through intelligent identification of equipment operation abnormalities and optimization of machining process parameters, the equipment abnormality rate is reduced by more than 50%.
