Business Background
As a leading manufacturer of tunneling equipment, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Corporation Limited previously relied heavily on paper-based work orders for shopfloor data collection. This led to delayed input, fragmented records, and slow traceability. By deploying the Seuic industrial tablet, the company connected production and quality inspection data, enabling real-time data capture and full lifecycle traceability. Quality issue tracing time was reduced from hours to minutes, supporting more precise management and compliance auditing.
Challenges
Low data quality and weak decision support: Manual paper-based entry caused delayed, incomplete, and inconsistent data, affecting production planning, inventory accuracy, and quality control.
Difficult traceability and high compliance risk: Fragmented data and paper records made it difficult to monitor key process parameters in real time, slowing root-cause analysis and failing to meet strict industry audit requirements.
Solution
The Seuic AUTOID Pad Air provided a lightweight digital MES solution, replacing paper work orders with an industrial tablet for real-time data capture and synchronization across production and quality inspection processes. It eliminated inefficient manual entry and fragmented data while building a full-chain traceability system that records process parameters in real time, enabling precise production management and compliance readiness.
Results
Real-time data visibility: On-site scanning or one-click input synchronizes production and quality data to the backend, enabling real-time visibility of progress, inventory, and quality status.
Efficient and compliant traceability: Full linkage of work orders, processes, personnel, and materials reduces traceability time from hours to minutes, enabling rapid issue localization and compliance readiness.
Lean management enablement: Breaks data silos across processes, providing accurate insights for production scheduling, inventory control, and quality optimization.
