Overview
BASF is a top global chemical company headquartered in Germany. China holds the position of BASF's third-largest global market. The main products include petrochemical products and inorganic chemical materials. This project involves the construction of nine coating lines and a slurry preparation production line, with an annual output of 18 million tons.
During the complex production process, enterprise managers were challenging to require real-time information on the production status. The procurement department and warehouse also needed to promptly adjust material purchases and preparations based on raw material consumption and orders.
Solutions
HollySys provided customized solution for this project. The project integrated Batch with the enterprise's ERP system, where workshop production orders were issued by ERP and simultaneously transmitted to other systems for material preparation via PIMS. During the Batch production process, material input was verified through QR code scanning and RFID comparison to prevent misplacement, enhancing product quality.
Results
With HollySys's solution, it assisted BASF in reducing workforce by 30%, improving efficiency by 15% through Batch processes, and increasing the product qualification rate by 5%. The project has garnered unanimous positive feedback from clients.
