Shunfu Precision × DingTalk: Setting a Digital Benchmark for the Die Casting Industry with the "Four Unifications"

Shunfu, as an enterprise at the forefront of information technology, has successfully deployed multiple diverse management systems that cover core business areas such as production, inventory, finance, and sales. However, it also faces a series of challenges caused by the coexistence of multiple heterogeneous systems. In particular, employees need to switch between systems to handle their work tasks, with no unified access point. This not only makes cross-departmental collaboration inefficient, but also creates a poor user experience for employees. It also limits the quality and speed of high-level decision-making, weakening the company's ability for rapid response and market competitiveness. To overcome this dilemma, Shunfu Precision has partnered with DingTalk, and based on the proprietary DingTalk foundation, they have deeply integrated multiple core systems, including PLM, ERP, SRM, MES, and WMS. This has resulted in the successful creation of an enterprise portal with unified login, unified messaging, unified to-do management, and unified content display, ensuring standardized and规范化 processes.

Established in 2010, Anhui Shunfu Precision Technology Co., Ltd. is a large-scale, comprehensive manufacturing company specializing in mold design and development, aluminum die casting, CNC machining, and metal surface coating. It has been recognized as a National-level Specialized, Refinement, and Innovative "Little Giant" enterprise, a national-level high-tech enterprise specializing in specialization, refinement, and novelty, and it has also earned titles such as the Anhui Provincial Service Manufacturing Demonstration Enterprise, Provincial Standard Demonstration Enterprise in Industrial Informatization, Provincial Industrial Technology Design Center, and has been honored as an Outstanding Private Enterprise in Anhui Province. Shunfu Precision ranks among the top 50 comprehensive casting enterprises in China!

Amid the digital transformation浪潮, Shunfu Precision has actively built multiple IT systems to meet the demands of different business areas. However, duplicated data infrastructure across these heterogeneous systems not only wastes resources, but also leads to inconsistent standards and system isolation. The fragmented data architecture means there is no integrated data foundation or blueprint for technical and data architecture under a comprehensive perspective. Facing these challenges, Shunfu Precision chose to cooperate with DingTalk to explore a path of innovation in industrial informatization.

With comprehensive technological empowerment and in-depth application scenarios from DingTalk, Shunfu Precision has successfully transitioned from informatization to intelligence. —— Xiao Minghai, CEO of Shunfu Group

Unified Platform Foundation Creates an Interaction Hub

Shunfu, as an enterprise in the forefront of information technology, has successfully deployed numerous different management systems, covering production, inventory, finance, sales, and other core business stages. However, due to the coexistence of multiple heterogeneous systems, it faces a series of challenges. Particularly, employees need to switch and log in among various systems to perform their tasks, with no unified entry point. This has not only rendered cross-departmental collaboration inefficient and user experience for employees extremely poor, but also restricted the quality and speed of high-level decision-making, thereby weakening the company’s agility and market competitiveness.

To resolve this issue, Shunfu Precision collaborated with DingTalk, establishing and tightly integrating multiple core systems including PLM, ERP, SRM, MES, and WMS based on DingTalk's dedicated platform foundation. This effort successfully led to the creation of an enterprise-level portal with unified login, unified messaging, unified task management, and unified display, ensuring standardization and规范化 of processes.

The newly built enterprise portal not only consolidates the login access but also serves as a deeply customized and smart interaction hub. Following the "thousand-person, thousand-views" concept, users only see the information resources relevant to their positions after logging in, accessing the most pertinent tasks, notifications, and systems quickly. Employees across the company can now manage all messages and tasks from business systems directly through the DingTalk app, truly transforming from "people searching for tasks" to "tasks finding people," streamlining workflows significantly, improving user experience, and achieving deep integration and interoperability of data flow and business processes under different scenarios.

Unified Data Foundation Breaks Information Silos

Owing to the lack of a unified data infrastructure, data is scattered across different systems and databases, forming almost insurmountable information silos. Shunfu's various business systems generate approximately 20,000 detailed data records daily, accumulating into millions of entries annually. Yet due to insufficient processing and analysis capabilities, these data are difficult to transform into valuable insights. This significantly hinders the company's ability to utilize data for understanding market trends and optimizing operation decisions.

Based on DingTalk's dedicated foundation and combined with Smart Form and the open platform, Shunfu has comprehensively integrated and managed data across ten business areas including operations, marketing, procurement, manufacturing, quality, warehousing, finance, human resources, supply chain, and after-sales services. By building a master data management system, Shunfu Precision has achieved comprehensive data integration, modeling, development, and sharing. This system aims to establish a master data architecture that focuses on business objectives with data as strategic assets, helping Shunfu Precision build an industry-leading industrial internet platform.

Unified Data Presentation Enhances Intelligent Decision-Making

After years of accumulation, the enterprise has amassed vast production and business data. However, the difficulty in integrating and analyzing the data results in low utilization value and an absence of intuitive and clear display platforms. In the past, monitoring the production process required separate access to systems such as ERP and MES, making it impossible to monitor real-time production status, detect anomalies promptly, or adjust production processes, leading to ineffective sedimentation of data assets and difficulty supporting high-level decision-making.

In collaboration with DingTalk, Shunfu Precision developed key performance indicators for 10 business areas including orders, procurement, production, and equipment, achieving real-time data monitoring and alerts through visualization. When a data indicator, such as device status or production line efficiency, exceeds the preset threshold, the system automatically triggers alerts to notify administrators, thereby reducing downtime and enhancing production efficiency. Both management and employees can monitor business dynamics in real-time, promptly adjust strategies, and improve decision-making accuracy.

Moreover, combined with Alibaba Cloud's DATAV digital dashboard, Shunfu Precision achieved visual management of important processes in the digital exhibition hall, such as leveraging data, utilizing value, and strengthening management capabilities. This has made the company's production processes more transparent and controllable, reducing operating costs significantly and improving product quality. At the same time, it has driven the restructuring of the industrial ecosystem, facilitating resource sharing and optimal allocation, while inspiring industry-wide innovation vitality and development potential.

Unified Security Management Ensures Data Security

As a leading enterprise in the die casting industry, Shunfu Precision deeply understands the importance of enterprise data and document security. However, in the past, corporate files, documentation, and communication were scattered across systems, and system permissions were difficult to manage centrally, with few fine-grained settings for employee access rights. Former employees could even retain access to chat records and documents obtained during their service, which made core confidential data, such as business-sensitive information and customer privacy, vulnerable to leaks.

Shunfu Precision, based on DingTalk, has built a multi-layer, comprehensive data protection system. With dedicated DingTalk account logins, combined with device port management, network access restrictions, and IP address range settings, the system ensures first-line security at the entry level. During data transmission, watermark technology—both visible and invisible—is utilized. File operation permissions are flexibly set, enhanced by intelligent detection and filtering of sensitive information systems to effectively resist data leakage threats. Moreover, through security policy dashboards, management can clearly monitor the execution of security controls, achieving transparency and visualization in security management workflows. The platform also supports rapid adjustments and optimizations, ensuring that security policies flexibly evolve according to current trends and business requirements.

By leveraging DingTalk, Shunfu Precision has achieved comprehensive upgrades in platform infrastructure, data foundation, data visualization, and security management, significantly enhancing its operational efficiency, decision-making accuracy, and robust data security defenses, establishing a solid foundation for its digital transformation. As an industry pioneer, Shunfu Precision will lead the die casting industry into a new, more efficient, smarter, and more secure development phase, setting a new digital benchmark for the sector.
