Maxnerva collaborates with McQuay to make logistics simpler and warehousing smarter!

After the onset of summer on July 16th this year, the country entered a period of high temperatures during the dog days. Many areas experienced heatstroke, which can be seen as severe heatstroke. The main cause of heatstroke in the human body is the high temperature environment. Not only did China suffer from high temperatures, but many regions abroad also experienced extreme heat. For example, the temperature in Lipton, British Columbia, Canada reached 47.5 ℃, causing hundreds of deaths. Several provinces in China, such as Sichuan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei, etc., have seen their highest temperatures exceed 40 ℃, with many areas breaking historical records.

Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon goal", the development of air conditioning towards high efficiency, energy conservation, and green has become a trend. With the upgrading of consumption, users' demand for air conditioning is also quietly changing. How to meet users' pursuit of beautiful air while also considering green and low-carbon will become a battleground for air conditioning brands, which will further test the brand strength of enterprises.

Hand in hand and contribute to development, deepen cooperation and create a new chapter together. With the development of business and market demand competition of McQuay Air Conditioning Refrigeration (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. (referred to as McQuay Wuhan Factory), it is necessary to digitize the management of production warehouses. Maxneva has partnered with McQuay Wuhan Factory to import WMS system for warehouse receiving reservation management, material first in first out management, material barcode management, warehouse location management, on-time delivery, etc., ultimately realizing the visualization, digitization, and intelligence of McQuay Wuhan Factory's warehouse, and completing the construction of a smart warehouse.

In the past two years, McQuay's performance has developed rapidly, running at its own pace in the new era. According to Aiken Network statistics, in terms of foreign water machine brands, McQuay continues to lead, which has made McQuay the market share leader of foreign water machine brands for many consecutive years. With excellent R&D and project operation capabilities, based on corporate social responsibility, insight into market demand, and the accumulation of core technologies, McQuay actively welcomes new changes and leads a new way of life.

01 Creating Visual Intelligent Kanban, Opening a New Chapter in Intelligent Warning Platform

Maxnerva proposes a multi-level and multi perspective management dashboard based on the current management status of the McQuay Wuhan warehouse, including workstation dashboards, production line dashboards, and factory/workshop dashboards, with the aim of improving the production efficiency of workshops, production lines, and workstations, and overall enhancing the effective output of the factory. Maxnerva integrates information technology to develop a visual kanban system, which plays an important role between processes, departments, and logistics. As an important component of "lean production" in manufacturing, it can improve workshop production process control capabilities, assist in the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and enhance the construction of smart factories.

The McVeil Wuhan visual kanban system has different values for different departments:

Material inventory dashboard:

• Current inventory information can be queried based on material number, warehouse location, goods location, batch, and supplier information

• The warehouse keeper can view the material inventory information of the current storage location by scanning the barcode of the storage location with a handheld IPDA

• The warehouse keeper can view the inventory information of the current material by scanning the material barcode or batch barcode with a handheld IPDA

Tracking Dashboard for Receipt, Inspection, and Entry Tasks:

• Real time monitoring of the progress of receiving, inspecting, and warehousing tasks, and reminding of long outstanding tasks according to the "warning strategy"

Accessory Task Tracking Dashboard:

• Real time monitoring of the progress of accessory shipments and reminders for long outstanding tasks based on the 'warning strategy'

Warning and Tracking Dashboard:

• Can view the processing status of alerted tasks

Real time storage capacity dashboard:

• Can view the actual utilization rate of each storage location

• Usage thresholds can be set by storage location and cargo location. If the usage rate is exceeded, the set employees will be notified through enterprise WeChat

Production Material Issuance Task Dashboard:

• Can view the completion status of production and material issuance

.....

Maxnerva has partnered with the McQuay Wuhan factory to use technologies such as big data and cloud computing to help the factory achieve digital management, ensuring that production, materials, quality, and anomalies are completely under control. With management at the fingertips, the factory can grasp real-time production dynamics in the workshop, activate static data, and maximize its value.

02 Focus on intelligent warehousing new system, improve transportation efficiency to a high level

By implementing the Maxnerva CLOUD WMS intelligent logistics management system, the management method of the McQuay Wuhan factory has been optimized: improving the precision of inventory management, from only managing inventory to managing location inventory and batch inventory; Change the management mode of the warehouse keeper from the current warehouse keeper managing by location to managing by location; Optimize the working mode of the warehouse keeper: set the optimal location matching and route, and guide the warehouse keeper to put the goods on the shelves. Implement label informatization: Implement the informatization transformation of location labels, material labels, and batch barcode labels, barcode recognition, so that materials and shelves can be recognized and controlled by the system. Systematized business scenarios: Organize all current business scenarios in the warehouse to ensure that the system covers all scenarios and processes. In complex environments such as warehousing and logistics, this solution effectively ensures uninterrupted logistics handling, material delivery, and other businesses, greatly improving the overall efficiency of warehousing and logistics. By replacing manual labor with machines and combining with efficient network connections, transportation efficiency has been improved by nearly 40%.

Sincere mutual trust, win-win future. With over 20 years of IT service implementation experience in the 3C industry, Maxnerva has integrated Foxconn's innovative technologies of "cloud, mobile, physical, large, intelligent, and network+robots". This time, Maxnerva and the McQuay Wuhan factory have joined hands to delve into the warehousing and logistics scene, optimize the network environment required for intelligent warehousing related equipment, make equipment operation more stable, business operation more efficient, and create a new era of intelligent warehousing.

Green intelligent warehousing is a new model for developing a circular economy. Greening and intelligentization are the driving forces for the development of the logistics industry and an effective path for transforming the mode of economic growth. As a gathering place for manufacturing, Wuhan will focus on developing new forms of green and intelligent manufacturing, continuously promoting supply chain optimization, improving the innovation speed and agility of enterprises such as McQuay, seizing opportunities, and accelerating enterprise transformation and upgrading.
