Recently, Acloudear Network and Shenzhen Shentai Weixiang Electronics Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “STWXE“) successfully launched the GROW with SAP project.
This connector manufacturing leader, which serves globally renowned companies such as BMW, BYD, ZTE, Mindray Medical, Phoenix Contact, Innocoso, Jabil, and others, has partnered with Acloudrear to restructure its management core using SAP digital infrastructure, officially launching an ERP upgrade from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”.
Since its establishment in 2003, STWXE, a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized and innovative “little giant” enterprise, has always focused on the research and development, manufacturing, and sales of high-speed, high-frequency, and high-precision connector solutions. Its products are widely used in the fields of communication, automotive, industrial, and medical, with customers all over the world. With the technological concept of “smaller, faster, and more reliable”, we have obtained nearly 60 patents, including 23 domestic and international invention patents. Our innovative floating tolerance technology and industry solutions have become an indispensable and crucial part of the connector supply chain in the industry.
However, with the completion of the new factory in Huizhou and the rapid expansion of business scale, the existing ERP system of STWXE has gradually revealed its limitations: the separation of R&D and production data, fuzzy quality cost statistics, insufficient supply chain transparency, and lack of systematic management of outsourced design service procurement… These problems not only affect operational efficiency, but also constrain the enterprise’s ability to cope with challenges such as market price fluctuations and customer customization needs.
The leader of STWXE has a far sighted vision and bluntly stated, “Hardware upgrade is the backbone, digital upgrade is the soul. We need a system that can support the development of the next decade, and SAP is the answer
The company hopes that SAP can help achieve: full process coverage of business, basic coverage of all key enterprise scenarios, and end-to-end data connectivity; By automating and intelligentizing processes, reducing manual intervention, optimizing inventory turnover and enterprise resource allocation, achieving production planning and full process optimization, and improving response speed; Strengthen compliance and risk control, enhance financial accounting, strengthen project management, and quickly, accurately, effectively, and proactively support management decisions.
In response to the development needs and strategic goals of STWXE, combined with the characteristics of high precision, high collaboration, and high-frequency delivery in the connector manufacturing industry, Acloudier, with its profound SAP implementation experience and digital insights into the manufacturing industry, has tailored a GROW with SAP solution for it.
This project focuses on five core modules – manufacturing, supply chain, sales, procurement, and finance. For the first time, R&D management, mold production, and outsourcing design service procurement have been incorporated into the system, with the goal of upgrading the five major strategies:
1.Precise cost control drives R&D innovation:Through SAP project-based management, STWXEwill achieve the full process collection of “material and labor costs”, introduce advanced standard cost operations and accounting methods in the industry, and ensure that every investment can be traced and optimized.
2.Quality and supply chain transparency:In response to the statistical difficulties of quality deduction and quality cost, SAP’s standardized credit invoice function will completely bid farewell to “manual reconciliation” and achieve automatic correlation of quality cost; The compliance management of material procurement is achieved through the system’s mandatory locking of contract execution, eliminating potential gray operating space.
3.Collaboration between mold assetization and outsourcing services to unleash the potential of flexible manufacturing:As the core asset of connector production, mold management has long relied on independent systems and is disconnected from financial and production data. AcloudearNetwork Innovation proposes a SAP solution of “virtual production+fixed assets”, which supports full lifecycle management of molds and flexible replacement of parts. At the same time, outsourcing design service procurement is incorporated into the system to achieve end-to-end collaboration from design to delivery.
4.Standardization of consignment and integration of upstream and downstream collaboration: Abandoning the traditional allocation methods of the old ERP system, AcloudearNetwork introduces SAP standard consignment solutions to help STWXEestablish real-time inventory linkage with customers and suppliers, reduce capital occupation, and improve delivery agility.
5.Realize full process automation and intelligence:make machines smarter, work more worry free, the system can adjust production rhythm in real time according to changes in orders and equipment status, achieve automatic scheduling of production plans, build a supply chain self-healing network, and respond in a timely manner; By using the SAP system to achieve automatic integration of multiple system data and cross module automatic reconciliation, relying on real-time data synchronization mechanism to eliminate information silos, and based on intelligent audit rule engine to automatically verify business and financial consistency, combined with standardized closing process of prefabricated closing list, fast, timely and accurate financial closing can be achieved.
The Acloudear Network project team stated that they will deeply integrate the industry characteristics of STWXE with SAP’s best business practices to create an integrated digital platform of “research and development production supply chain”, helping it become an intelligent benchmark in the global connector field.
As the senior management of STWXE said, “STWXE’s mission is to empower the intelligent world with precision connectors; and today, we are connecting our future with digitalization.” This expresses STWXE’s ambition for this transformation.
By partnering with Acloudear Network, this Chinese intelligent manufacturing enterprise will not only achieve a comprehensive reform of internal operations, but also serve global customers with a more efficient and transparent attitude, writing a new chapter in the connector industry.
Wishing STWXE
