Tingyi Holding Corp and its subsidiaries are engaged primarily in the production and sale of instant noodles and beverages in China. The Group started production of instant noodles in 1992 and has expanded into convenience food and beverages since 1996. In March 2012, the Group further expanded its beverage business and completed the strategic alliance with PepsiCo’s beverage business in China, and began to be exclusively responsible for the manufacturing, filling, packaging, sales and distribution of PepsiCo’s non-alcoholic beverages in China. At present, the main products of the Group have occupied a significant market position in the Chinese food market. As a household brand in China, “Master Kong” has been deeply loved and supported by Chinese consumers after years of hard work and accumulation.
In recent years, Master Kong has made full use of its scale advantages, continuously made brand investment and product innovation, actively promoted digital transformation, and empowered all aspects of production, warehousing, logistics and sales with digital technology. At the same time, Master Kong works with supply chain partners to jointly promote industrial digital cooperation and sustainable industrial development.
As a member of Master Kong Group, Jinan Dingjin Food Co., Ltd. is responsible for the production of Master Kong brand series beverages. In the production process, the equipment methodically “hand over information”, update real-time flow operation and production data clearly. However, in the inbound and outbound links, as many as hundreds of products, to achieve orderly mobilization, rhythmically in and out, is extremely complicated and cumbersome. In order to improve the space utilization and the on-site management, intelligentize storage and logistics, Master Kong Group decided to provide a complete set of intelligent warehouse system for Jinan Dingjin Food Co., Ltd. by Newamstar after rounds of rigorous inspection and evaluation.
Combined with the overall planning requirements of Master Kong’s Jinan production base, Newamstar has created an advanced intelligent warehouse storage system after the professional evaluation, rigorous design, and accurate layout. The project has a total of 35256 cargo locations to meet the needs of multiple categories and achieve on-demand warehousing. At the same time, with the help of the control system, it can achieve efficient first-in-first-out and random access of unit goods, realizing more intelligent management of the factory.
Stacks of different products from each production line are methodically transferred into the smart warehouse. The whole intelligent warehouse system is equipped with 12 single-lift stackers and 4 double-lift stackers, which meets the efficient and accurate warehousing requirements of the factory. In the outbound warehouse operation, when the WMS system receives the order requirements, the warehouse will operate and delivery in accordance with the instructions, and the specified goods will be accurately transported to the corresponding loading platform. The automatic operation of the whole system realizes the intelligent warehouse management and greatly reduces the labor intensity. The centralized warehouse management and control system ensures the efficiency and accuracy of the warehouse. Digital warehouse statistics give managers intuitive and clearer understanding of the warehouse system, facilitating centralized management.
The intelligent warehouse system provided by Newamstar for many customers can not only realize the safety and quality traceability function of products, but also realize seamless connection of the packaging system, warehouse system and enterprise management system. The digital, integrated and intelligent warehouse system, through the inbound, inspection, production, storage, logistics and other links of data identification, collection and tracking, achieves the whole life cycle management of products. It also fundamentally solves the six major problems existing in traditional storage management, such as complex food safety traceability process, multiple storage methods of production materials, inability to achieve centralized management, tight land resources, high labor costs, and disconnection between production line and storage logistics management. In addition, the whole system try its best to meet the storage inbound capacity, but also as much as possible to increase the number of pallet position.
The smooth delivery and use of the intelligent warehouse system has provided a new idea for the upgrade of the integrated production and storage solution, effectively promoted the creation of the enterprise’s “smart factory”, and further boosted sustainable development practiced by Master Kong Group.
With the wide application of emerging technologies such as 5G technology and the Internet of Things, warehousing systems will further develop toward digitalization and intelligence, and high intelligence, full coverage and high flexibility will be thetrend of the smart logistics industry in the future. The staff of Newamstar know that the best tribute to customers is to create better technology products and the best grasp of the future is to build the interconnection between people, things, data and processes to help the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry. In the future, the cooperation between Newamstar and Master Kong Group will continue to deepen on the establishment of various warehouse, the implementation of the integration of production and storage etc,. Newamstar will introduce more sophisticated intelligent manufacturing technology in each process, improve the intelligent coverage of the factory, and move toward building a higher quality and efficient “smart factory”.
