An international holding company is a comprehensive food enterprise mainly engaged in the production and sales of hotpot seasonings, dipping sauces, and compound condiments. It is one of the largest manufacturers of mid-to-high-end hotpot seasonings in China. Currently, the group has five major production bases and 12 factories nationwide. It was successfully listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 13, 2016.
The Ma'anshan factory, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan, is located at the intersection of Hongqi South Road and Baoqing Road in Baoqing Industrial Park, Ma'anshan Economic and Technological Development Zone. It covers an area of 40,000 m² and a building area of 90,000 m², and was officially put into operation at the end of 2017. At present, WPTEC's DTS-NET production error-proofing and traceability management system has been maturely applied in many production factories of the group, including Ma'anshan, Bazhou, and Kaifeng.
Main Products: Hotpot seasonings, dipping sauces, and other compound condiments
Production Process:
Existing Production Problems:
-
Errors such as wrong batching or missed batching often occur during the batching process, resulting in significant cost waste.
-
Batching accuracy entirely depends on manual work, leading to inconsistencies between actual batching weight and recorded weight information.
-
Most data is supplemented afterward according to formula requirements. Even with dedicated personnel for rechecking and recording, errors still occur.
-
During material preparation and feeding, problems like missing or wrong materials often happen.
-
There is no record of production batching circulation, making it impossible to track and trace errors.
-
Connect with the enterprise's existing ERP and WMS systems to break down information barriers between production, warehousing, and orders, enabling more efficient data transmission.
-
Adopt a two-level formula mode that supports the product-intermediate-raw material formula structure. When tasks are issued, the system automatically splits and distributes them to designated points based on formulas.
-
All production data is uploaded to the backend in real-time, allowing managers to check production progress and trace production data in the office.
-
Implement a rigorous formula and task review system, along with a comprehensive and flexible personnel permission management system, to protect the security of core enterprise data.
-
ISOP graphical operation 流程 guidance with online quality control: Workers receive real-time prompts for each operation step. Errors trigger immediate alarms and block further operations, ensuring every operation complies with standards and every product is qualified.
-
Support rechecking of the wok for feeding, as well as key process items such as feeding sequence and waiting time.
-
Connect with on-site automatic discharging equipment to realize unmanned control of oil and other materials in formulas involving a mix of manual and automatic feeding. Data from both manual and automatic feeding are uniformly recorded for complete traceability.
-
For the user's batching – material preparation – feeding process, bind batching tasks, material preparation transfer carts, feeding tasks, and woks to form a complete traceability chain.
-
Real-time production dashboard: A large screen displays real-time progress of current tasks/products in batching, material preparation, and feeding, as well as equipment saturation and production line saturation. This enables real-time understanding of production status and adjustment of management efforts to optimize production efficiency.

-
Quality improvement and cost waste reduction: Real-time elimination of human errors and standardized operation processes ensure each weighed finished product is qualified, reducing material cost waste.
-
Transparent production process and traceable data: Comprehensive and detailed records of each operation are uploaded to the backend system in real-time. Managers can monitor in real-time in the office and conduct conditional queries and operation replay at any time.
-
Online production dashboard: Real-time display of batching and material preparation completion status and task status at each batching point, facilitating flexible production.
-
Efficiency improvement: Through the application of automated equipment and information-based data transmission, optimize existing production processes and support automatic generation of relevant data reports, improving production and management efficiency.
-
Formula confidentiality: Personnel permission management, information-based management of the entire batching process, and a sound confidentiality mechanism protect the core competitiveness of the enterprise.
-
User-friendly interface with foolproof design: Easy to use and maintain, reducing enterprise labor costs.
-
Balanced material management: Real-time monitoring of raw material consumption, loss, and inventory, with daily settlement of temporary storage warehouses.
-
System integration with SAP: Realize comprehensive integration of business operations in all links within the system.
