For mold equipment manufacturers, core competitiveness ultimately comes down to two things: standardized processes and disciplined shop floor management.
Most factories have long struggled with the same pain points:
Fragmented systems, duplicated data entry, opaque production progress, and sluggish approval workflows.
Meanwhile, cluttered shop floors, disorganized materials, and lax on-site management constrain efficiency, undermine quality, and make delivery unpredictable.
To break through the bottlenecks of conventional manufacturing and achieve a dual upgrade—in digital management and lean shop floor operations—SXKH announces a major milestone:
The full integration of our three core systems—MES, OA, and ERP—with the SXKH Order Management System V1 launching soon.
In parallel, 6S lean management is being rolled out company-wide, elevating both digital management and shop floor operations.
I. Full Integration of Three Core Systems: Eliminating Data Silos and Enabling End-to-End Digital Control
ERP | The Core Hub of Enterprise Resources
Manages customer orders, material BOMs, steel inventory, procurement and supply chain, cost accounting, and financial reconciliation.
Costs are accountable, materials are traceable, and every transaction is recorded—enabling refined, centralized control of enterprise resources.
MES | The Transparent Brain of Shop Floor Production
Governs production scheduling, machine processing, process routing, labor hour tracking, quality inspection records, and production exceptions.
Shop floor operations no longer rely on word of mouth, manual follow-ups, or institutional memory—progress is visible in real time, every process is fully traceable, and production is tightly controlled.
OA | The Standardized Workflow Approval Platform
Handles order review, quotation approval, engineering change requests, procurement requisitions, and internal administrative workflows.
All business processes flow online with full audit trails and automated notifications—eliminating verbal instructions, approval delays, and information gaps.
Core Value of Three-System Integration
OA approval completed → Auto-sync to ERP for record creation and material reservation
ERP order released → Auto-push to MES for scheduling and production launch
MES production data → Real-time feedback to update inventory and progress
From order intake, review, procurement, production, quality inspection, delivery, to payment collection—the entire workflow is closed-loop and fully connected, eliminating manual re-entry and cross-system verification, and significantly improving delivery efficiency and data accuracy.
II. Company-Wide 6S Implementation: Building a Standardized, Tidy, and Lean Production Floor
Digitalization elevates management systems, while 6S elevates the shop floor—and SXKH is now rolling out 6S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety) lean management across the entire plant as an ongoing practice.
✅ Sort: Eliminate redundant materials and idle clutter; free up valuable shop floor space
✅ Set in Order: Designated locations for materials, categorized tool placement, clear and consistent labeling—zero time wasted searching
✅ Shine: Daily shop floor cleaning and scheduled machine maintenance; eliminate dust and oil contamination that compromise machining precision
✅ Standardize: Lock in standardized procedures; maintain consistent shop floor tidiness; establish a visual, standards-driven workplace
✅ Sustain: Cultivate disciplined work habits across all staff; enforce standardized operations and systematic execution
✅ Safety: Eliminate equipment hazards, regulate electrical work practices, and remove on-site safety risks
Through sustained 6S implementation:
a more disciplined shop floor environment, more organized materials, more stable equipment, and more standardized operations—reducing errors at the source, lowering waste, and improving machining precision and product consistency.
III. Dual Upgrade in Digital Management and Shop Floor Excellence: Empowering High-Quality Mold Equipment Manufacturing
Digital systems govern processes, data, and efficiency.
6S shop floor management sharpens the workplace, the details, and quality.
We close the loop on end-to-end data flow—achieving efficient, transparent, and precise management.
We cultivate lean excellence on the shop floor—achieving standardized, disciplined, and safe operations.
Looking ahead, SXKH will continue to empower production through digitalization and reinforce quality through operational excellence—delivering superior mold equipment and services to mold manufacturers, injection molding plants, die-casting plants and stamping plants worldwide through professional management, consistent quality, and reliable delivery.
