PART 01 Technology Foundation

Building a Digital Benchmark for Metal Decorative Panels

As the wave of digitalization sweeps across manufacturing, Kinlong Hardware has remained at the forefront of the industry. Its partnership with Soonfor Software to launch the MOM project is not only an upgrade of the technology system, but also an innovation in manufacturing philosophy. It will help the enterprise build an outstanding digital factory and jointly establish a new benchmark for excellent manufacturing.

Main Project Value

1

3D Intelligent Order Splitting and CAM Detailed Design

Centered on 3D intelligent order splitting and CAM detailed design, the project enables automated conversion from orders to production and greatly improves technical processing efficiency.

2

Fully Transparent Production Process Management

Through the MES system, the entire production execution process will be digitally controlled, covering planning and scheduling, process execution, quality traceability, and equipment coordination, thereby improving production transparency and operational efficiency.

3

Precise Production and Material Requirement Planning

Through the MPS/MRP system, the project will accurately plan production and material requirements. Combined with WMS smart warehousing and the MES execution system, it will achieve seamless coordination among material circulation, production execution, and warehouse management.

4

Equipment Interconnectivity

Equipment interconnectivity further strengthens real-time data collection and analysis on the production floor, laying a solid foundation for intelligent manufacturing.

Manager Shu, Kinlong Project Manager said, "This project is a key initiative launched by the group headquarters for the Metal Decorative Panel Division. The Soonfor MOM team attaches great importance to it, and we look forward to close collaboration between both sides to ensure the project's complete success." The meeting also introduced the project organization structure, the responsibilities of each role, and the work priorities of each department.

Mr. Feng of Kinlong Hardware said that this MOM project takes the integration of software and hardware as its core, relying on advanced equipment and the MOM system to move toward intelligent manufacturing. He expressed hope for deep collaboration with the Soonfor and Alpha Home teams, with open communication and practical problem solving, to jointly build a digital benchmark for metal decorative panels and explore a replicable path for intelligent upgrading across multiple Kinlong business divisions. With united effort, he said, success is certain.

Mr. Ma of Soonfor said, "For more than 20 years, Soonfor Software has focused on digital transformation in the broader home furnishing industry. This cooperation with Kinlong Hardware will create a new customer-driven C2M flexible manufacturing model. The project covers key modules including 3D intelligent order splitting, CAM detailed design, master production scheduling, MPS, material requirements planning, MRP, smart warehousing, WMS, manufacturing execution, MES, and equipment interconnectivity. The system connects the entire process from design and planning to production and delivery, while integrating seamlessly with the group's digital systems to build a closed loop between finance and operations. This is not only an upgrade, but also a major step into a new era of intelligent manufacturing."

Mr. Cao of Alpha Home said, "During project advancement, we conducted in-depth research into Kinlong Hardware's business scenarios, fully collected requirements, and continuously optimized through iteration. Faced with the challenge of integrating multiple systems, we insisted on starting from real business needs, focusing on user pain points, and improving backend process and data modules in reverse from practical usage. Every improvement came from on-site feedback, ensuring that the system truly fits manufacturing reality. We firmly believe that only by staying close to the business and iterating continuously can a digital system deliver maximum value and support efficient enterprise transformation."

PART 02 Efficiency Transformation

Four Outcome Targets Redefine New Standards for Production and Operations

Excellent manufacturing begins with systematic planning.

This MOM project focuses on three core paths and reshapes the foundation of manufacturing with lean, flexible, and intelligent capabilities. It will help Kinlong Hardware achieve lean factory management, improve flexible automation management capabilities, and realize data connectivity and intelligent application. These three capabilities will work together to comprehensively strengthen the foundation for digital transformation and inject strong momentum into Kinlong's agile, efficient, and sustainable modern manufacturing system.

Four Core Outcome Targets

1

Increase Order-Splitting Efficiency by 200%

By using intelligent algorithms to optimize order processing, the project will accelerate the work speed of technical staff handling metal decorative panel orders, release labor value, and allow greater focus on high-value tasks.

2

Reduce Work-in-Process Inventory

By optimizing material circulation, implementing precise material planning, and carrying out real-time inventory control, the project will reduce capital occupation and space waste while improving resource utilization.

3

Accelerate Information Flow

The project will connect data links across planning, scheduling, execution, and quality inspection, enabling transparent management throughout the entire process.

4

Comprehensively Enhance Delivery Capability

With shorter cycles and higher quality, the project will respond better to customer needs and strengthen market competitiveness.

Mr. Ge of Soonfor said, "This project brings together the company's core resources, with full support from senior management to ensure efficient coordination and controllable risk. Headquarters and branches are working together to form an elite team with more than ten years of experience, covering the full chain from solution design and data management to system implementation. Project managers will remain on site throughout the process, and technical experts will participate deeply to ensure high-quality project delivery. We are confident that this will become a benchmark project. Please stay confident and move forward together."

PART 03 Strategic Upgrade

Creating a New Industry Paradigm from Manufacturing to Intelligent Manufacturing

This MOM project will achieve both horizontal integration and vertical deepening across the industrial chain. Horizontally, it will cover the full value chain from research and development, planning, and manufacturing to delivery, connecting the design-production-delivery chain. Vertically, it will extend from the workshop execution layer down to the equipment layer, enabling real-time data collection and linkage with management decision-making to build an end-to-end vertically connected system. This is currently one of the deepest and broadest intelligent manufacturing practices, laying a solid foundation for Kinlong Hardware to move fully into intelligent manufacturing and creating a new industry paradigm from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.

Manager Feng, Soonfor project manager, said, "This project involves multiple departments including engineering, planning, production, and quality, and will advance in phases through solution design, development testing, and implementation. Through careful planning, task breakdown, and process control, we will ensure accurate basic data and effective process execution. The company will strengthen execution supervision and performance incentives to guarantee high-quality project delivery."

Director Han, Soonfor Project Director explained key implementation considerations and said, "The key to project success is proactive participation from all staff, especially deep involvement from system users. A system is not all-powerful, and success requires management plus system as two driving wheels. We must follow the three-step method of first making it work, then optimizing it, and finally standardizing it to ensure process implementation. Basic data must be accurate and complete, and all departments must cooperate closely and break down barriers. We firmly believe that only through initiative and close collaboration can we achieve high-quality project delivery and support successful digital transformation."

The full launch of the Kinlong Hardware Henan intelligent manufacturing base is an important milestone in the enterprise's digital transformation. Taking this MOM project as an opportunity, Kinlong will continue to deepen digital transformation and lead the architectural hardware industry into a new era of high-quality development.
