background
Founded in 1966, Walsin Lihua Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer in the wire, cable and special steel industry in Greater China, and has successfully entered the international enterprise of green energy photovoltaics, commercial real estate and high-tech investment. Since the early 90s, it has been actively developing its operation layout with mainland China as its growth focus, and has set up more than 20 production and sales bases around the world. Since 1980, it has invested in semiconductors, electronic components, printed circuit boards, optoelectronics, and financial investment, and established companies including Winbond Electronics, Huaxin Technology, Hanyu Bode, Hanyu Caijing, etc., through the experience and achievements of developing the semiconductor and advanced materials industry, as the foundation for Walsin Lihua’s layout in emerging technology fields.
The company’s early MES was developed by Delphi, and the technology was old and could not support the long-term development of the enterprise. Since it is expected that the future MES system can be built on a cloud-native architecture platform and can be controlled independently, it chose the Yonyou cloud platform iUAP. The goal is to meet the future MES management of the entire technology finance and cable business through joint development.
Solution
Walsin Lihua project is fully customized and developed based on the iUAP exclusive cloud platform. Yonyou iUAP cloud platform has the ability to build both traditional applications and Internet applications, including technology middle platform, data middle platform, business middle platform, hybrid cloud services and ecological services. Help enterprises easily realize data integration inside and outside the enterprise, O20 interconnection, and help enterprises build an industrial ecosystem based on the Internet.
iUAP is open and cross-platform, supporting international and industry standards. At the same time, it provides global development and personalized configuration frameworks to meet the characteristics of globalization and multi-role levels of multinational and group enterprises.
Walsin Lihua itself has experience in using SAP, and also has its own development team. The level of informatization and management level is quite high, and the technical requirements and goals are clear. The flexibility and autonomy of the Yonyou platform, the maturity and reliability of the product, the macro of future development, and the professional assistance of the team have led to successful cases of customers and Yonyou jointly developing and promoting transformation with the goal of leading the industry.
value
Walsin Lihua reconstructs MES applications by introducing the Yonyou Cloud platform to achieve 40% reusability of manufacturing and logistics modules (cables, steelmaking, steel rolling, seamless steel pipes); And through DevOps and containerization technology solutions, the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved by 30%.
At the same time, with the characteristics of “platform layout, forward-looking architecture, and high flexible expansion”, Walsin Lihua will lead the industrial Internet of the same industry in the new era. Through in-depth cooperation at the product and solution level, we will strengthen the integration of the two sides’ ecosystems, jointly promote the digital transformation of industrial enterprises, and improve the level of Industry 4.0 construction in the industry.
