Mindray: A “smart factory” that achieves a high degree of automation and information

In the office in Shenzhen, Ding Yi opened the company's internal network and was able to see the operating status and data of various equipment in the factory in Nanjing. If there is an abnormality in the production process, he clicks on the product name in the system, and immediately can find out what material is used in the batch, which supplier provides, and what certification the company has made for him.

Ding Yi is the deputy general manager of the manufacturing system of Mindray Medical International Co., Ltd. ( Medical Medical ). From 2013 to the end of 2015, he led the team to complete the construction of reagent production bases in Nanjing and Shenzhen. This is the only “smart factory” that achieves high automation and informationization in the field of in vitro diagnostic reagent production.

Mindray Medical launched the Informatization Enterprise Interconnect project two years ago. As one of China's leading high-tech medical device R&D and manufacturing companies, and one of the world's leading innovation leaders in medical devices, Mindray's medical management team places great emphasis on manufacturing. By implementing the “Connected Enterprise” solution, Mindray Medical can mine data more deeply and use data more fully than before.

In the process of promoting enterprise interconnection, Mindray Medical implements intelligentization in a phased and step-by-step manner according to the needs of the business, and integrates IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operation Technology). Originally, isolated data was connected, and the previous one-way value chain was upgraded to an intelligent value network, which greatly improved the production efficiency of the enterprise.

23 people have done 70 people to do the work

With the development of technology, "interconnect" and "intelligence" are gradually becoming the standards and rules of manufacturing. The habits of customers and employees using the Internet in their daily lives have evolved into work habits. Ding Yi found that when the hospital purchases equipment or medicines, it will list a list of equipment and reagents on paper, and then take it down and send it to suppliers like Mindray Medical because of equipment and reagents. The names are similar and it is easy to make mistakes. Today's post-90s, new generation employees are growing up on the Internet. "The current situation is that although no one asks you to connect, the needs of customers and employees have forced you to do the interconnection." Ding Yi said, "Minray is very professional in terms of products. Next, we are in the supply chain and Professional and leading in enterprise interconnection."

In recent years, Mindray's medical reagent business has grown rapidly, with biochemical reagents growing by 40%-50% in 2012. The original production site and equipment were not enough. The company decided to build a new factory and upgrade production equipment to build an advanced and modern reagent production base. In fact, in 2010, Mindray Medical began to consider the automation and informationization of reagent production, so that it can be immediately detected and processed in time when production is abnormal.

In 2013, Mindray Medical implemented the “Connected Enterprise” program. After the automation and informationization of the factory, the efficiency has been greatly improved. Mindray Medical's subsidiary, Mindray Nanjing Biotechnology Co., Ltd., now has 23 workers on the production line. The output value of their production in a year can only be made by six or seventy people. Ding Yi analyzed the input and output: "Although doing enterprise interconnection, automation and informationization requires investment, raising the cost of the company, it has a certain impact on the company's gross profit margin. But count down, 23 people, doing so much work. If the invested funds are depreciated and calculated according to a certain number of years, the efficiency increase can digest its cost input."

The implementation of "connected enterprises" must match their own business, which is the most important issue for enterprises. Companies need to first figure out how much their business can do, and then look at how much intelligence can help companies do. Ding Yi believes that "there must be a reasonable expectation, combined with your own business, to figure out exactly what to do and to what extent. You can't hear what someone is doing, and you will do what."
