What is IMS?

(PRESS RELEASE ONLINE 2013/7/4) IMS, English acronym. IMS (Intelligent Management System) is an Intelligent Management System (IMS) is a set of closed-loop electronic manufacturing management and materials management solutions. For electronic manufacturing enterprises to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises ----- to reduce manufacturing costs, reduce staffing, improve equipment utilization (OEE), while the scientific and effective use of materials, to achieve a comprehensive and scientific control of materials and process control. With China's accession to the WTO and economic globalization, China is becoming the center of the world's electronics manufacturing industry. Now, with the disappearance of the comparative advantage of low labor costs, especially the continuous changes in consumer demand, the increasingly strict industrial environment, is bound to make China's electronics manufacturing industry is facing new challenges. Electronic manufacturing enterprises to rapidly improve the core competitiveness, must be driven by information technology to industrialization, speed up the process of information technology, take the road of new industrialization, to achieve the leapfrog development of productivity of the whole society. Throughout the application of China's manufacturing informationization system status quo, the construction of the focus is generally placed on two aspects of the ERP system and field automation system. However, these two systems have been unable to cope with the rapid evolution of the market environment and consumer demand. Electronic Manufacturing Intelligent Management System (Intelligent Management System, IMS) can fill this gap. Intelligent Management System (IMS) is a production management technology and real-time information system that has been rapidly developed internationally in the past five years and is oriented to the shop floor level. IMS provides a fast-response, flexible, refined and transparent manufacturing environment for the electronics manufacturing industry, helping enterprises to improve productivity, enhance product quality, shorten the production cycle, reduce the cost of manufacturing, comprehensively prevent errors and duds, and realize a comprehensive and scientific traceability management. IMS is only applicable to electronic manufacturing enterprises (consumer electronics, automotive electronics, microelectronics, communications electronics, medical electronics, industrial control electronics, military electronics, etc.), and can realize the production mode of multiple varieties and small batches, and short delivery cycle. To meet the needs of efficient production, high speed, high yield, fast switching change varieties. Currently at home and abroad, Delphi, BYD, technology research Xinyang, Sai rabbit, *** into the deep South Electric Road and other well-known enterprises have applied the IMS system effect is remarkable, and gradually there are many electronic manufacturing enterprises are also highly concerned about the IMS trend and the intention to use this technology to enhance their core competitiveness. IMS and ERP seamless docking, set up a bridge for communication between various departments of the information to solve the problem of "disconnection" of the departmental information. "Disconnect" problem, so that there is no information gap between enterprise departments. And at any time for the decision makers to provide accurate data to understand and master and production and quality status. Can be linked with the mounter and AOI, ICT, LCR, pointing machine and other equipment. Through a variety of system function modules to help factories achieve process optimization, manpower saving, comprehensive error prevention and traceability, transfer efficiency, production cycle time shortening, inventory reduction and other effects. At the same time, IMS's Low Position Alarm (LPM) and Intelligent Reporting Analysis also help factories realize JIT-style management and paperless operation. This technology ensures product quality and can greatly improve the production efficiency of the product technology, but also let the production information transparency, so that management has become easier. IMS system is a unified platform to integrate such as material management, production scheduling, product tracking, quality control, equipment failure analysis, network reports and other management functions, the use of a unified database and through the network connection can be at the same time for the business sector, the purchasing department, the warehouse department, production department, quality control and other management functions. Using a unified database and through network connection, it can simultaneously provide workshop management information services for business department, purchasing department, warehouse department, production department, quality control department, assembly department, logistics department, and so on. The system helps enterprises to implement complete closed-loop production by emphasizing the overall optimization of the manufacturing process, and assists electronic enterprises to establish an integrated and real-time information system.
