Recently, Huading Co., Ltd. and Centric Software (Centric Software) officially reached a cooperation agreement, jointly launching PLM The (Product Lifecycle Management) project marks a crucial step for Huading in the digital upgrade of its research and development and production processes. By introducing Centric PLM As a solution, Huading Co., Ltd. will establish a unified knowledge base and collaboration platform to provide strong support for the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing and the high-quality development of the nylon business.

It is understood that Centric Software was established in 1998 year, is a product lifecycle management solution provider originating from Silicon Valley in the United States, currently part of French Dassault Systèmes ( Dassault Systèmes ) as a subsidiary. Its PLM The solution focuses on the fashion, retail, and consumer goods industries, helping companies manage the entire lifecycle process of products from conceptual design to sales. In the textile and apparel sector, this software significantly enhances product development efficiency and data traceability by establishing standardized databases for materials, styles, and processes.

Embracing trends, accelerating transformation

As a key enterprise in the chemical fiber industry, Huading Co., Ltd. has undertaken numerous national and provincial technological innovation and new product development projects, with its business covering the entire process of nylon research and development, spinning, texturing, post-processing, and testing. With the expansion of business scale and enrichment of product categories, the company has accumulated vast amounts of critical data across various stages, but due to information being scattered among different systems and departments, data silos have formed, and insufficient standardization has constrained efficiency improvements.

To standardize multi-product line processes, consolidate knowledge assets, and enhance operational efficiency, Huading Co., Ltd. has decided to establish a comprehensive Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. This will be achieved by building a dynamic knowledge base, standardizing process templates, and integrating across systems to enable intelligent upgrades in product development and data management.

Liu Jinsong, the Executive Vice President of Huading Co., Ltd., stated at the project launch meeting: 'PLM is the cornerstone of intelligent manufacturing and the prevailing trend in current manufacturing development. Without PLM System, many subsequent tasks are difficult to carry out effectively. After thorough evaluation, we have chosen Centric as PLM project partner, jointly embarking on a new chapter in intelligent manufacturing transformation. PLM It will effectively address the long-standing data silo problem that has troubled us and play a key role in areas such as cost accounting and pricing strategies. '

Data integration, comprehensive collaboration

Huading PLM The project focuses on four core objectives: progress visualization, data standardization, collaborative sharing, and cost refinement. By establishing a digital mainline covering raw material procurement, spinning, texturing, and finished product inspection, standardization is built. BOM System to achieve seamless connection between design and production data, supporting real-time formula adjustment and multi-base process parameter synchronization.

In the future, PLM the system will be integrated with ERP , MES , MDM and other systems to achieve comprehensive integration of formula parameters, process data, and BOM Real-time sharing of information streamlines repetitive processes, making them transparent, and outputs core business forms, significantly enhancing cross-departmental collaboration efficiency.

solidify the foundation, with promising prospects ahead

PLM The project is one of the key initiatives for Huading Co., Ltd. to implement its intelligent manufacturing strategy and serves as the foundation for achieving product standardization. At the project launch meeting, Zhang Xiaomao, Chief Engineer of Huading Intelligent Manufacturing, stated: ' PLM Implementation is a challenging but necessary project that needs to be advanced step by step. We believe this system will significantly improve product quality and create sustainable business value for the company. For this purpose, Huading IT department will provide full support to ensure seamless integration in infrastructure, data catalogs, and interfaces with ERP , MES , WMS and other systems.

After the project launch, a series of training activities will be organized to encourage various business departments to proactively identify business pain points and requirements. Through close collaboration between both teams, PLM The project will steadily advance as planned, laying a solid foundation for Huading's intelligent manufacturing upgrade.

Centric Software President Chris Groves stated: ' We are deeply honored to be a partner in Huading Co., Ltd.'s digital transformation journey. Centric team will fully leverage Centric PLM The flexible architecture and industry practice advantages help Huading connect product R&D and manufacturing data chains, building a future-oriented intelligent collaboration platform.
