Industry
4.0 is undoubtedly the megatrend causing disruption everywhere – the
traditional ways of doing business have changed significantly over the last 10
years and will continue to do so. Whilst still at the dawn of the Industry 4.0
age, economies and businesses will undergo fundamental change as data-driven,
AI-powered, networked “smart factories” become the “new norm”. The transition
of manufacturing processes and technologies will lead to the so-called fourth
industrial revolution.
Ge-Shen
is well-prepared and ready to master these challenges successfully. Ge-Shen
Corporation is located in southeast Asia with its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur,
and with three locations in Penang, Johor and Hanoi in Malaysia and Vietnam. It
has a global sales office in Singapore – a truly southeast Asian company,
offering state-of-the art solutions on a global scale.
Ge-Shen
recognised early on that the traditional way of manufacturing may become less
relevant in coming years. Industry 4.0 is all about data and how this data
links together to make second-by-second decisions. Ever increasing widespread
use of data for analysis and prediction is closely linked to rising customer
expectations – expectations which Ge-Shen is well prepared to meet and to
surpass.
As
product lifecycles become distinctly shorter, models, product versions and
variants no longer last 3-5 years, but now rather between one and two years.
The failure of a product can be seen within months of the new product
introduction. Success and failure of products really depend on good product
designs which are well accepted in the market.
Time
to market, i.e. time span for new product introduction from design to market is
therefore becoming increasingly shorter – what used to be 90 days lead time
tends to be now 45 days, what used to be 45 days has shortened to now just 25
days. Rapid response and quick tooling development has become the “new norm”.
Just-in-time manufacturing is becoming increasingly important – customers do
not want to have a huge backlog of liability, – simultaneously ramp-up times
also decrease markedly. Quality expectations remain
constantly high, however quality management becomes tougher as things move at
lighting pace. Production process management via data and the process itself
becomes the crucial factor.
Ge-Shen is well prepared for these challenges. Apart from constantly keeping pace in terms of manufacturing technology by investing in newer machines and new capabilities such as liquid silicone rubber injection moulding and clean room injection moulding, thus going the extra mile to maintain its high-quality standards and state-of-the-art technology, Ge-Shen is also heavily investing to meet the requirements of industry 4.0.
Ge-Shen
is ready to meet these increasing demands by investing in technology – it has
successfully launched its Digital Transformation Programme. Furthermore, a lot
of focus has been put on modernizing the backend. Ge-Shen is constantly
providing training to its workforce – to prepare the whole Ge-Shen Staff to
embrace the future. Ge-Shen has started a programme to modernize its ERP and is
introducing a MES, site by site. Result – real time data-driven decision making
in the near future.
