Sanhua operates highly automated production lines, reducing human operational uncertainties and improving product performance and quality consistency.
Emphasizes in-house R&D and production capabilities, with dedicated teams continuously innovating and improving equipment/systems tailored for smart factories based on production needs and technological trends.
Implements real-time monitoring of production processes and product quality. Data collection enables intelligent systems to promptly detect abnormalities, trigger alarms, initiate corrective actions, monitor equipment status, predict failures, and schedule proactive maintenance.
Sanhua utilizes system platforms like Manufacturing Dashboard, Quality Dashboard, and Smart Energy Platform to enable data-driven decisions.
The Manufacturing Dashboard displays real-time production information, allowing remote monitoring by managers. Deep data analysis reveals bottlenecks and optimization opportunities to enhance resource allocation and production synergy.
The Quality Dashboard enables real-time quality monitoring, alerts, and trend analysis. Data evaluation assesses the effectiveness of quality management systems and supports strategic quality planning.
The Smart Energy Platform employs IoT for real-time energy consumption monitoring, identifying high-energy equipment/processes, evaluating efficiency, and uncovering improvement potentials.
Sanhua achieves efficient operations through cross-system integration.
Supply Chain System: Coordinates multi-organization and cross-supply chain collaboration to ensure material supply and sales responsiveness. Production System: Synchronizes equipment, processes, and multi-site production for seamless operations. Financial System: Integrates with business systems for cost control and budget management. R&D System: Aligns with production systems to bridge product design and manufacturing. These synergies drive Sanhua’s industry leadership in delivering premium products/services.
Sanhua initially relied on manual processes with limited automation. By adopting Japanese lean production principles, it established foundational standards and management systems to enable future automation.
Sanhua embraced industrial automation via robotic arms, transmission modules, and CNC/punching machines. Core components achieved fully automated processing (loading, machining, unloading). This phase solidified Sanhua’s expertise in high-end manufacturing and quality management.
Sanhua advanced digital transformation through in-house R&D and partnerships:
Deployed MES (Manufacturing Execution System) for real-time production data analytics.
Developed PCS (Process Control System) for unified data standards and reduced equipment debugging cycles.
Built IoT-enabled digital factory models for remote monitoring and rapid troubleshooting.
In 2023, launched a "5G+Industrial Internet" platform at Shaoxing Binhai Factory, winning the First Prize in the Yangtze River Delta "5G+Industrial Internet" Competition (Equipment Track).
Sanhua is implementing its "5G-enabled Smart Factory" strategy, integrating industrial IoT and AI across facilities (e.g., Hangzhou and Binhai Plants) to achieve unmanned workshops and full lifecycle digital management.
