Empowering advanced manufacturing with digitalization AURORA has achieved major highlights of "personality + intelligence" on Bluetooth headsets and speakers and earns a significant reputation in the industry. Simultaneously, it has been developing and expanding with the spirit of "honesty and trustworthiness, proactive progress, pursuit of innovation and excellence". However, AURORA still faces a number of pain points and obstacles that hinder its future development in its digital and intelligent transformation. For example, the production switch of orders from a single category production of earphones to multi-category, complex production of Bluetooth speakers and household appliances, etc. Those factors stop the forming of effective production management, like the extension of production lines and the increase in the types of purchased materials, are the top priority for Mr. Zhang Wei. For this, he explained: "Today's market competition is fierce, customers have too many choices, and cross- category competition is getting sharper. The profit margins will be further squeezed if we don't reform. Especially since the manufacturing industry was transformed by the advent of the 'Industry 4.0', manufacturers have focused on the capabilities to control costs. Therefore, empowering advanced manufacturing with digitalization is the key to achieve transformation of quality, efficiency and motivation." To address all kinds of problems in the digital transformation at source, AURORA finally decided to further cooperate with YIZUMI after a detailed research. YIZUMI's technical team researched in depth at AURORA workshops and provided a turnkey solution for every essential and process in the production, helping AURORA better realize its digitalization. Intelligent manufacturing boosts AURORA's transformation and upgrade Wi t h t h e h e l p o f Y I Z UM I Manufactory Execution System (Yi MES), AURORA realizes production visualization, monitors equipment information, and improves delivery rate. In addition, users can directly monitor the production situation through the embedded system in the cloud platform. ERP, CRM and other production management systems can be tightly integrated into the platform simultaneously to connect the production with the five major elements like man, machine, material, method and environment, helping AURORA achieve digital production management. And now, a series of information such as real-time order status, inspection status, production schedule, and the percent of pass is accessible conveniently via phone and computer, and the data accuracy reaches 99%. The systematization and visualization of the production, in addition to real- time monitoring of process progress, enable production efficiency to reach 90%. Furthermore, breaking down the isolated islands of information and handling abnormal production timely raise the on-time delivery rate of orders to 93%. With the further development of informatization, and the in-depth integration of the automation and informatization, AURORA moves a further step toward becoming an industry benchmark. In other words, YIZUMI has helped AURORA realize digital transformation and provided a strong support to its industry extension strategy. YIZUMI www.yizumi.com
