The manufacturing industry is an important part of a country's real economy, and the equipment manufacturing industry is the backbone of the manufacturing industry. The development of equipment manufacturing industry plays a decisive role in China's manufacturing industry wanting to truly move from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing. According to the industrial production data recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics: In May this year, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8% year-on-year, which was significantly faster than the growth rate of all industries above the designated size. The industry's high-end, intelligent and green development trends are obvious.

At present, the equipment manufacturing industry is facing two major problems: the market demand for customization is increasing, while the order delivery cycle is getting shorter and shorter, so the coordinated development of the supply chain is particularly important. At the 2023 Schneider Electric Innovation Summit with the theme of "Innovation and Ecology, Accelerating Dual Transformation", Zhou Dandan, Purchasing Manager of Hangzhou Joy Machinery Co., Ltd. pointed out that equipment manufacturing companies are facing the challenge of supply chain coordination, including the timely delivery of material procurement and logistics. Accuracy, material supply quality and efficiency, production scheduling and material processing planning, data reliability, production and processing quality, etc.

Zhou Dandan believes that equipment manufacturing enterprises should promote the application of the supply chain system in a "small step" manner, which can be divided into five steps: from special procurement to regular procurement; from one factory to all factories; from processed parts to general Standard parts; from one supplier to the entire supply chain; from internal production management to external supply chain collaboration.

Hangzhou Samores Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Joy Machinery, is promoting digital transformation with the help of Schneider Electric's consulting services and overall software application solutions for machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises. At present, with the help of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure supply chain consultant supply collaboration deployed in advance, Zamores has reduced the inventory level by 13% and increased the on-time delivery ratio by 25%. On this basis, Zamores will also cooperate with Schneider Electric to promote the deployment of supply chain consultant assembly coordination, quality management consultant and other systems, and gradually realize green and intelligent manufacturing.

Joy Machinery is committed to becoming a world-leading fluid power service provider, focusing on fluid power core technologies and products such as screw compressors, refrigerant compressors, vacuum pumps and centrifuges. Its products are widely used in industrial automation, engineering excavation, rail transit, Semiconductor manufacturing process, cold chain transportation, environmental optimization, petrochemical and other fields.
