Project Background
Fujian Nanping Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. is one of China's 520 key national enterprises, a leading enterprise in China's battery industry, and a key enterprise in Fujian Province. It has maintained industry-leading performance for 28 consecutive years. Focusing on the small-battery segment, the company has built the F36 intelligent production line model and operates twelve mercury-free alkaline manganese battery production lines with capacities of 600 pcs/min and 400 pcs/min, achieving an annual production capacity of over 1.2 billion batteries.
Business Needs
- On-site flow cards are manually recorded, prone to loss, difficult to trace, and often mismatched with physical products.
- No digital management for material, production, and quality data, making traceability difficult.
- Workshop card-punching counters are inaccurate, and production volume cannot be calculated based on equipment data.
- No unified barcode platform; quality inspection still relies on paper forms, and no system-generated alerts are available when defects are found.
- Management cannot obtain timely and accurate on-site information, and there is no digital reporting available for customer audits.
Implementation Overview
N2.MES Manufacturing Execution System
Covers work order management, process management, quality management, plan management, traceability management, error-proofing mechanisms, alert management, equipment management, intelligent warehousing, SPC, reporting dashboards, and 3D simulation. The system supports alkaline-manganese battery production lines.
How the Solution Addresses Core User Needs
- Quickly trace abnormal products using tens-of-thousands-level barcodes and anti-counterfeit shipping codes, supporting traceability queries by personnel across different workshops.
- The system accurately reflects on-site correlation relationships, resolving mismatches between spray-coating and assembly-line flow cards.
- More accurate traceability allows production output to be counted for each piece of equipment and each operator, improving personnel management in the workshop.
- Error-proofing of raw materials and semi-finished products ensures that production strictly follows the defined process sequence, preventing batch defects.
- Production process data is systematically recorded, centrally managed, quickly retrievable, fully traceable, and supports SPC for quality improvement.
- System-generated inspection reports support customer audit requirements.
Implementation Benefits
- Traceability and statistical labor time reduced by 60%
- Production efficiency increased by 21.78%
- Energy utilization efficiency increased by 23.43%
- Enterprise operational costs reduced by 6.93%
- Product defect rate reduced by 15%
