On April 8th, the start-up meeting of the Smart factory Construction project (Phase II) of Zhejiang Kaifeng New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Kaifeng New Materials) was successfully held.Ji Hao, chairman of Kaifeng New Materials, Ji Lei, deputy general manager and project leader, and Li Jigeng, founder and Chairman of Boyite Technology, attended the launch meeting.

Kaifeng New Materials chose Boyte Technology as a firm partner for the digital transformation of enterprises. The two sides have been working together since 2022 to jointly build the first phase of the digital smart factory construction project.The first phase of the project achieved remarkable results. It successfully opened up all business data on the production side, greatly improved management efficiency, and laid a solid foundation for the road of intelligent management of enterprises.

Now, the two sides have once again joined hands to jointly start the construction of the second phase of the project.This project will focus on the construction of intelligent capabilities. With the help of advanced big data and artificial intelligence technologies such as planning and scheduling (APS) system, slitting optimization model, complex warehouse, warehouse management, etc., it will realize the intelligent collaboration of the whole link from sales order-production-warehousing-inventory management-outbound, and further promote the deepening of the construction of Kaifeng New Materials Smart factory.

Kaifeng New Materials, as a leading enterprise in the field of specialty paper in China, has long been deeply engaged in the research and development of innovative technologies for specialty paper.The company focuses on the production of a series of high-quality products such as cigarette supporting paper, material spacing paper, food and medical paper, and coated and silicon-coated processing paper.The company was listed on the New Third Board in 2015 (stock code: 835427).Since 2020, Kaifeng New Materials has successively won the honorary titles of “National Green Factory”, “Zhejiang Province Specialized and Special New Small and Medium-sized Enterprises”, “Zhejiang Province Smart Factory (Digital Workshop)” and “Zhejiang Province Invisible Champion Enterprise”.These honors are an affirmation of the company's remarkable achievements in greening, intelligent transformation and industrial upgrading, and they also fully demonstrate the company's sustainable development capabilities.

Kaifeng New Materials' brave breakthroughs on the road of digital intelligence are closely linked to its core concept of “doing everything seriously and creating with your heart”.Under the traditional production model, specialty paper companies generally face problems such as the disconnect between marketing and production, the dependence on manual experience in arranging knives, and the lack of connection between orders and warehousing information. This not only leads to a waste of operating costs, but also affects the delivery speed and quality.In order to enhance sustainable competitiveness, Kaifeng New Materials once again joined hands with Boyte Technology to open up the whole link from sales orders to warehouses and improve the efficiency of production, marketing and inventory collaboration.At the same time, through the introduction of the planned production scheduling (APS) system and the slitting optimization model, the production change and trimming loss are reduced, and the cost of production change is ultimately reduced, product quality and delivery efficiency are improved.

At the launch meeting, Dr. Li Jigeng, founder and Chairman of Boyite Technology, sincerely thanked the Kaifeng team for using the system, and thanked Chairman Ji for his trust, bold innovation and vision. This is the prerequisite for the smooth launch of the second phase of the project.Dr. Li believes that the first phase of the project has successfully opened up all the data on the production side, truly opening the “black box of the production process”.On this basis, it is natural to plan production, arrange production, and optimize slitting.The second phase of the project will further realize the potential of AI models and realize more quantitative value.This is a breakthrough project in the industry.Dr. Li said that Boyite Technology will continue to accompany Kaifeng New Materials on the road of digital and intelligent transformation, provide a full range of technical support and services, and do more practical things.

At the meeting, Ji Hao, chairman of Kaifeng New Materials, highly praised the results of the cooperation between the two sides in the past year, praised the seriousness and professionalism of the Boyte project team, and said that Kaifeng New Materials had chosen the right partner.Chairman Ji pointed out that the transformation of digitization and intelligence is an inevitable trend of enterprise development, and it is even more urgent for the specialty paper industry.There are many kinds of specialty paper, high requirements for quality and timeliness of delivery, and the gap between industrial workers is increasing day by day. Therefore, it is necessary to use digital intelligence technology to enable traditional processes and improve the efficiency of sales and production communication, the efficiency of production knife cutting, and the overall efficiency of warehouse and warehouse management, so as to build the core competitiveness of Kaifeng New Materials.At the same time, he also emphasized that the intelligent project puts forward higher management requirements for the Kaifeng team, and hopes that everyone can fully learn and use this advanced technology to help the future development of the enterprise.

The two sides once again cooperated hand in hand, demonstrating Kaifeng New Materials' firm determination on the road of intelligent transformation.The second phase of the smart factory project is not only a new starting point for the intelligent upgrading of Kaifeng New materials, but also an important milestone in the revolutionary innovation of the “production, marketing and storage” model driven by AI technology, which will definitely provide strong support for the future innovation and development of enterprises.
