The core challenges that printing and packaging enterprises are facing

In the market environment of multiple varieties, small batches, and fast delivery, enterprises need more efficient production organization capabilities and a more stable material coordination system

A wide variety of products in small quantities, frequent special orders, making it difficult to quickly respond to the production schedule. 

Production scheduling relies on manual experience and the efficiency of process coordination is low. 

The transfer of semi-finished products between processes relies on manual operations, resulting in a serious backlog of work-in-progress. 

The delivery schedule is unstable, the response is abnormally slow, and customer satisfaction cannot be guaranteed.

The process is complex and involves multiple steps, with large differences in the pace of each step

There are many specifications of raw materials, making warehouse management difficult

Finished product warehousing occupies a large area and requires high manual handling intensity

Cardboard is mixed and stacked, making paperless management difficult

The storage and handling processes are prone to damage the appearance quality of the roll film 

Multiple machines operate simultaneously, production scheduling relies on experience, and the efficiency of changing orders and switching is low. 

The production process is opaque and abnormal findings are delayed. 

The quality traceability chain for batches is long and the traceability efficiency is low.

Frequent order changes and complex consumables management

Small order quantities, short delivery cycles, and high planning response pressure

Warehouse location management is complex, inventory turnover is fast, and material preparation accuracy is difficult to guarantee

Mixed production of digital printing and traditional printing makes scheduling and collaboration difficult
