User Background and Challenges

This section summarizes the challenges faced by Gree Electric in its transition to intelligent manufacturing, particularly inefficiencies in production data management, and outlines its background and responses.

User Background

Founded in 1991, Gree Electric went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in November of 1996. The company's primary source of income in the beginning was the assembly of home air conditioners. Today, it has grown into a technology-driven, diversified global industrial manufacturing group that operates in two main markets: industrial equipment and consumer goods. Its goods are marketed in more than 190 nations and areas.

Challenges

The traditional production process relied on paper-based records, resulting in an inability to collect and process data in real-time, which hindered production efficiency and decision-making speed, posing a major obstacle to intelligent manufacturing.

• The initial approach involved processing data slowly since paper records couldn't gather and process data instantly.  
• Paper forms were not able to be uploaded in real-time and had low accuracy due to errors and omissions.
• Manpower was wasted as certain workstations needed manual scanning for every item.

Standardizing procedures, clearly assigning tasks, and regulating production processes by using industrial tablets to direct the production and warehouse in-and-out processes. An intelligent factory's production is protected by real-time accuracy in material details.

The solution involves adopting the Seuic AUTOID Pad tablet, equipped with a semi-automatic scanning platform. This enables production line workers to increase productivity, achieve traceability throughout the industrial tablet production line, and free up more hands.
