 Information system Introduction

Information system is a production management information system for household appliance
manufacturing factories independently developed by Kinte. The system is divided into Web Server
end and C/S client end. The server is responsible for the management of production materials and
station operation manuals BOM, the management of production scheduling, the collection and
storage of production data, data inquiry and traceability, user management and authority allocation,
and the response of client service requests. Bar code collection of station products and key
materials, data collection of equipment online and third-party test system, client display of products,
schedule, model, achievement rate, pass rate and other confidence, display of station operation
manuals. This system can be connected to the Internet, through the Web browser for a variety of
data report query analysis, the realization of the real-time view of the schedule, failure rate analysis.
All kinds of data can be exported report.

 Basic information management - factory modeling

Factory modeling is the digital management of production modules, which is considered as the
technical basis and the management basis of the other functions of the system. Factory modeling
which includes plant management, production line management, process management and other
functions, belongs to the standard function of MES software platform. This system only provides
process management function, that is, the system is limited to one production line.

 Employee Role Permission

User, role, authority management function, used to manage the authority of the system users,
configure the user which pages can be accessed, which pages are read-only authority, which pages
have operation authority, authority control refinement.

 Process workflow management

Process management mainly maintains the information of basic process, process order, capacity
and etc. This function is configured by the Implementation Engineer or the system administrator of
owner.
The function interface is as follows:

 Material management
Maintain material types, distinguish the material into: parts, raw materials,
productionconsumables, chemical inspection consumables, products, derivatives and etc. Materials
can also be distinguished according to the particular characteristics of owner management based on
the business features of materials, such as motor, IC, shell and etc. Maintain relevant properties of
materials as the management basis of other functions of the system. The function interface is as
follows:

 Production plan
The system can import the factory production plan through the enterprise ERP interface. If the
enterprise has not implemented ERP, it can add the production plan manually through the
maintenance function of the Information system, or batch import the production plan through Excel.
The function interface is as follows:

 Production process control

6 / 17

In the process of the client code scanning process in the assembly line, each station will be 9
under control by the system. Only the production line workers who are corresponding to their
locations are distributed with their operating rights, according to the minimum permissions
assignment principal. During the assembly code scanning the system can judge whether the current
product material consumption is correct in the current location and is for the concurrent process,
and controls the current employees if they have the location operation permissions. System
automatic statistics for each location in the process of production output reports.
The function interface is as follows (as reference):

 Control the production process against the wrong material

In the process of code scanning and assembling at the client end of the production line, after
scanning the barcode of the material, the system will do checking according to the work order BOM.
If the current station does not agree with the installation of this material, an error will be reported.

station and quantity of materials used in product assembly process.It can be traced according to
product bar code, material bar code, material number and other conditions.

 Information system Data acquisition tracing

MES can trace test data of each station, such as safety test data and charging machine Charging
process data.

 Information system production plan - bar code tracking

MES can trace the corresponding bar code information of each work plan, which can be
searched and traced according to the work order number .

 Process history report

This page can trace the bar code in each station operation process.Can be screened according to
