Ligong Industry: Build an independent MES system with Yida to realize the whole production process management

Introduction to Industry is an innovator in the global intelligent manufacturing AIoT equipment market. It uses Yito build its own MES system to realize the whole production process management.

"In addition to its (Dingding) third-party application system, we still prefer to use a low-code platform. We even have such a good tool, and we have specially established a digital promotion department for it as a digital center. Transform our actual production and manufacturing needs into standardized and customized processes."

——Monica Huang, Operation Director of Ligong Industrial

Ligong Industry is an innovator in the global intelligent manufacturing AIoT equipment market. In the process of continuously deepening digital management, Ligong Industry has also given all small and medium-sized enterprises a demonstration: use Dingdingyi to build a low-code platform to manage the company’s production and operation. High customization and low cost.

Ligong Industrial was established in 1985. Its main business is to design, develop, manufacture and sell unattended collaborative robots, autonomous mobile collaborative robots, and deep learning equipment. Through the innovation of Ligong's products, technology and business model, it provides safe, easy-to-use, cost-effective artificial intelligence IoT solutions for global industrial enterprises.

In its 36-year continuous iteration, ’s original business and new business are just like the DNA double helix structure , which empowers and promotes each other. This is the dual work that Ligong needs to face every day. In particular, the test of li workers is that the customization business has a wide range of products and small batches. The autonomous robot business responds to the widest range of non-standard needs with the largest standardization. Therefore, fast customization and fast delivery are the themes of Ligong's production management.

For a 24-hour smart factory that is obsessed with lean management, although heavy software systems such as ERP and MES can solve many resource scheduling and production execution problems, it is precisely because of their relatively heavy and standard system software Orientation, in the rapid development and iteration process of enterprise business, process, etc., its flexibility and quick change will not necessarily provide real-time feedback on real-time conditions.

Is there a system that can support independent development and can run on a mobile Internet platform? This has become a question that Ligong has always wanted to answer on the road to digitalization.

In May 2020, due to Dingding’s unique openness and deep integration of OA, Ligong started to use Dingding to make the company’s internal management more transparent, speed up approvals, and strengthen internal coordination. opportunity to develop a suitable MES system on its own.

The low-code advantage of Yida is that everyone involved in the operation of the enterprise and the factory manufacturing experience and methods will be run first through the form and the setting process. Trotting iteration is an experience that Ligong has developed over the years. It does not seek to solve the problem one time at a time, but first, then optimize, and then solidify.

Both Yida and Dingding have done a good job in allowing Ligong’s team to self-understand the logic in the process, and then through repeated data collection and improvement. In less than a month, the production management application of Yida has been iterated many times. , Advancing the digitization process of Ligong. After upgrading DingTalk to the professional version, the potential of Yida was unearthed by the Ligong digital team. has also set up a digital promotion department called "Digital Center", which is responsible for the development of applications and staff training using Yidah.

For a long time, Ligong's 24-hour operation workshop has had the problems of difficulty in real-time data acquisition and synchronization. It is neither efficient nor cost-effective to find personnel to do data entry. Decentralized data entry and independent data cross-validation play a real role in Yidah. After using YIPA, all links of production can be managed clearly in the background, and abnormalities can be quickly checked. If you encounter an emergency work order, you can also quickly allocate resources through the system to complete the work efficiently.

The production log and shift log of the workers in the original workshop of Ligong were filled in paper forms by hand. The monthly shift data also needs to be entered into the computer with cultural aids, which is not only a huge workload but also prone to errors. Ligong has developed a handover system using Yida, which not only realizes the online and automated handover, but also allows for approval management and data analysis. This also allows Ligong's front-line employees to truly appreciate the speed and convenience of Yijia.

In the past, Ligong used to fill in the score sheet manually when conducting inspections. At the end of the month, a dedicated person was required to summarize the scores. When problems were discovered during inspections, they had to pass them to relevant departments in person. Now the inspectors only need to use the "7S Score Management" application built by Yidah, and the inspection will record the score and upload the rectification points at the same time. The system will automatically count the scores and automatically synchronize the rectification suggestions to the corresponding departments. Open the data summary at the end of the month, you can directly get the score rankings, freeing up labor costs.

In the past, each equipment of Ligong needed to be equipped with an exclusive inspection table to record its operating status. If managers need to supervise the implementation of the inspection, they must go to each equipment to go through the inspection records. With the prolongation of the use time, the checklist is piled up like a mountain, and a lot of labor costs are required to organize and file. After building the "Check System" application on Yihuo, the check can be easily completed with one machine, one code, and nail scanning code. The fixed information of the device can be brought out with one key, and there is no need to re-enter each time, which is efficient and convenient.

Recently, Ligong has connected unattended robots to Dingding and Yihuo, which means that the entire smart factory will be transplanted to Dingding’s platform. This is a bold adventure, and this is one thing that Li workers believe in: In the mobile Internet world, only one interface is needed to connect to the Internet of Things world. gives a new entrance to smart manufacturing, and it also gives a demonstration to all small and medium-sized enterprises: smart manufacturing has nails and should be built. This new platform can give everyone better digital capabilities.

In order to continue to help organizations of hundreds of industries to achieve lower-cost digital transformation, and to help more companies cultivate core digital talents. Dingding Yida has successively launched the primary and intermediate certifications of "low-code developers", and has established industry standards for the technical level certification of low-code developers. Developers who pass the official certification can become popular low-code developers and enhance their competitiveness in the workplace!
