Digital transformation brings not only efficiency gains, but also cost savings.

Gong Siwei, senior product director of Zhijing Technology, said that printing and dyeing is a chemical process, and many links such as feeding and mixing determine the final product success rate. Relying on various technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, the intelligent manufacturing system developed by Zhijing Technology realizes multiple functions such as intelligent formula and collaborative production scheduling in the printing and dyeing process. According to the data from Xinhai Shengtian, after digital transformation, the product recovery rate of enterprises decreased by 30% and the defective rate decreased by 10%, saving three to four million yuan a year.

Many enterprises began to taste the sweetness of digitalization, and their enthusiasm for transformation increased. According to e-works, about 80% of enterprises nationwide have developed a digital transformation plan, and more than 40% of enterprises regard digital transformation as a core strategy. Most enterprises continue to invest in digital transformation, with the proportion of enterprises investing between 3 million yuan and 10 million yuan steadily increasing.

“Hidden account” : through forced management, layout long-term quality upgrading

The process of digital transformation is also forcing the upgrading of enterprise management systems. In addition, by promoting digitalization to solve business pain points, it is conducive to the long-term development of enterprises, which are the hidden benefits of transformation.

Several interviewees said that in addition to financial pressure, a major challenge for digital transformation is internal resistance. Digitalization brings transparency. After the digital transformation, the efficiency of each link from production to sales and what problems exist are clearer than before, which leads to resistance from some management. Some factory directors, in particular, who were responsible for production, felt that their value had been diminished.

“If management awareness and systems are not upgraded, it is difficult for digital transformation to play its due role.” Feng Deming said.

Chongqing Galloping Light Vehicle Parts Co., Ltd. has introduced more than 150 robots in the process of digital transformation. In the past, the workshop welding mainly relied on manual work, and there were always gaps invisible to the naked eye, and there were situations such as missing welding. After using the robot, the product qualification rate jumped to more than 99%, which is a good match for the order needs of Oems such as Celis.

“Since 2016, we have invested more than 200 million yuan in digital transformation, such as the introduction of robotic equipment and the deployment of MES information systems.” Huang Gan, deputy general manager of the company, said that after investing heavily, the automobile industry declined, and the order volume shrank once, and the enterprise was under great pressure. “But we think it’s a rite of passage, and the company eventually gets through it. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, our monthly output value has increased from more than 10 million yuan to more than 40 million yuan at present, and the transformation dividend has been gradually released.”

A recent research report on the input-output relationship of enterprise digital transformation released by Huawei and the Innovation-driven Development Center of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that from the development stage, digital transformation is entering a new stage with value driving as the core, and enterprises need to pay more attention to the actual value brought by digital transformation, rather than just technology application or digitalization degree.

Li Peigen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that under the value-driven model, enterprises no longer simply pursue short-term profit maximization, but combine short-term business value with long-term strategic value such as sustainable development, constantly adjust and optimize the input-output structure, and ensure the effective use of resources and the maximization of output.
