Qingdao Haitong Machinery Group Co., Ltd. and the Integration of Industrialization with Informatization
Release date:
2020-05-01
The integration of the IT and industrialization management system was developed based on the following foundational work and practical experiences: the technological advancements and management innovations accumulated throughout China’s enterprise informatization development journey. Drawing from the methodologies and principles refined during the assessment of IT-industrial convergence conducted across more than 10,000 enterprises under GB/T 23020 "Guidelines for Evaluating the Integration of Information Technology with Industrialization in Industrial Enterprises," this framework has also been shaped by the operational groundwork and application environment established while promoting other management systems such as quality, environmental, information technology services, information security, energy, and occupational health & safety management.
Over the past five years, we have invested over 3 million yuan to implement ERP-based digital process management solutions for key areas like enterprise material management, financial management, and production order management. Looking ahead, we plan to inject an additional 1 million+ yuan this year to upgrade our existing ERP system to SAP’s advanced, modular digital management platform.
Digital management of orders, digital control of material storage, seamless integration of financial data with materials management—our procurement module enables real-time synchronization and visualization of order placement and supplier information via computer systems. This ensures fast, efficient communication and information exchange, allowing us to promptly identify issues and swiftly coordinate solutions.
Investing 350,000 yuan, Huatian Software Development Company, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, has developed the PLM system used by our technology center. This system enables digital, information-based management of technical documentation, including drawings, process documents, and engineering tooling blueprints, as well as streamlined review and approval processes. Moving forward, we can expand the PLM terminals to be deployed directly at production sites and in various workshop departments, allowing seamless access to drawings and other resources—making it easy and convenient for users to switch between tasks and view information on the go.
At the beginning of this year, Qingdao Haitong Vehicle Bridge Co., Ltd. successfully passed certification and received the "Two Integration Management System Assessment Certificate." This milestone demonstrates that Haitong Vehicle Bridge has established a robust Two Integration Management System, marking a solid step forward in the company’s strategic transformation, organizational restructuring, management innovation, technological integration, and overall competitiveness. Meanwhile, the review panel commended Qingdao Haitong Brake Co., Ltd. for its effective implementation of the Two Integration Management System. After careful discussion, the panel concluded that the company’s introduction of the system fully meets the required standards, successfully passing the initial assessment and now meeting the criteria for the second-phase evaluation audit.
Results belong to the past; it’s through hard work that we’ll shape the future. Qingdao Haitong Machinery Group will seize the opportunity of building an integrated management system for IT and industrialization, firmly upholding our core principles of "self-development, independent innovation, and establishing our own brand." We’ll continue driving the deep integration of IT and industrialization at Haitong, ensuring sustainable growth and success for our business in the long run.
The OA Office Assistant has been seamlessly integrated into the company for nearly eight years, with employees demonstrating exceptional proficiency whether it’s for internal communication or reporting tasks. In the past two years, the tool has been further enhanced to include features like workflow approvals and meeting notifications, significantly advancing the company’s transition toward paperless office operations and digitalized signing processes. These improvements have not only dramatically boosted productivity but also helped conserve paper and reduce energy consumption.

During the pandemic, Haitong Vehicle Bridge Company successfully completed the commissioning of its bearing unit housing and assembly lines in the first quarter. As a result, the company is now fully equipped to mass-produce high-end vehicle bridge products, including the entire range of bearing unit housing series.
Processing Line: An investment of 3 million has been made to upgrade the original wheel hub and brake drum processing line. The entire line is an automated production system jointly developed by Hyundai Wia of South Korea—renowned for its internationally advanced technology—and Germany’s KUKA, ensuring high machining precision. This state-of-the-art line now meets China’s leading industry standards, with a designed cycle time of 90 seconds per unit and a single-shift capacity of 320 parts.
Assembly Line: A 3.6-million investment has been made in a wheel hub assembly line capable of automating the production of various wheel assemblies, including bearing unit housings and rear wheel hubs, via a streamlined, flow-line process. The entire line meets advanced domestic standards, with a designed cycle time of 60 seconds per unit and a single-shift capacity of 480 units.
