Analysis of pain points of automated it o & M in Manufacturing

According to industry insiders, the domestic manufacturing industry is large and large state-owned enterprises are dominant. The entry of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises has brought about new management methods and means, this has promoted the state-owned enterprises' understanding of informatization and the development of the domestic manufacturing industry. However, the informatization level of a large number of manufacturing industries remains at a low level. Top Ten pain points of manufacturing informatization 1. china's manufacturing industry is still in the simple O & M manufacturing industry. it o & M is still in the simple O & M stage and requires manual intervention, such as table-level system faults. For example, the operation is described by industry insiders. Currently, the scale of the manufacturing industry in China is huge, and large state-owned enterprises are dominant. The entry of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises brings new management methods and means, thus promoting the understanding of state-owned enterprises on informatization, it has promoted the development of domestic manufacturing industry, but the informatization level of a large number of manufacturing industry remains at a low level.
Top Ten pain points of Manufacturing Informatization
1. china's manufacturing industry is still in simple O & M manufacturing it o & M is still in simple O & M phase, requiring manual intervention, such as desktop-level system faults, such as operating system installation and deployment, and application system deployment and debugging, in the end, it o & M should be automated.
This is exactly what the DELL solution Expert Group advocates. Simple O & M and automated O & M are linked to standardized O & M. However, most manufacturing enterprises in China are currently in the simple O & M stage, IT is time-consuming and labor-consuming, but the effect is poor, and the user experience cannot be improved, so that the IT department is not a high position in the enterprise.
2. Difficult to recognize the work of the IT department
In the company, employees and leaders have misunderstandings about the IT department which burns money. The true value of the IT department is to safeguard the production and operation of the enterprise. The IT department lacks a powerful tool, it helps them improve from this simple O & M work. Simple O & M, standardized O & M, and automated O & M are increasing step by step. Domestic enterprises need to solidify the problems encountered in the simple O & M phase on a platform like Casia. Through this platform, gradually upgrade to standardized O & M. For example, if an OFFICE problem occurs, engineers do not need to manually repair the problem. The standard O & M process allows quick response and semi-automatic solution.
3. The process is not standardized
Currently, first-line employees often complain that their IT knowledge is insufficient, but they must get started immediately, making IT difficult for ERP systems, debugging problems are frequently used, while IT engineers only deal with the problems at one time. However, I do not know how to solve the problems, and whether the problems are solved is difficult to identify, the same problem may occur in the short term, so that employees in all links complain.
There is no standardized process in each stage, and the engineer's work is not recognized and reflected. This is the general situation of the manufacturing industry. 4. Difficult upgrading
At present, some manufacturing enterprises that have applied it o & M software are also facing upgrade difficulties. Most software upgrades require manual intervention. the upgrade process is complex and error-prone, as a result, the original data of the system becomes faulty or lost, and the loss is not worth the candle in the end. The new functions of the software cannot be applied without upgrading.
5. high dependence on IT employees, high cost of IT employees, the simple O & M stage in which the manufacturing industry is currently located, resulting in high dependence on IT employees and high cost of IT employees. For example, when a senior employee leaves the company, the new employee needs to be recruited and started at a high time cost.
6. Difficult connection between different systems
Many state-owned enterprises have imported many systems, such as marketing systems and ERP systems. However, these systems do not significantly improve efficiency, but make employees feel difficult to cope with, and more systems exist, the association between them is becoming more and more complex, and the cost is also increasing. From the perspective of it o & M engineers, the workload is greatly increased, and complaints from other departments are also increasing, systems are separated to form many isolated information islands, making it difficult to synchronize information systems.
7. IT asset information cannot be obtained in real time
In manufacturing enterprises, there are requirements for regular decommission and update of PCs. These data are closely related to finance. In particular, some listed enterprises have strict requirements on IT information disclosure, their ERP, financial system, and other asset information may need to be disclosed one day, even if the information is not accurate.
8. Data Transmission Security Risks
Data security has always been a headache for the manufacturing industry. Sensitive information such as financial data and asset information needs to be protected, infected with viruses and malware, which will affect the stability and effectiveness of the system, and thus affect the normal operation of the company. 9. Funding for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
Small and medium-sized enterprises often face problems such as insufficient funds and cost pressure. The purchase of an it o & M system will put a huge pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises with insufficient funds. In addition, some hidden expenditures required for the import of the it o & M system, such as network transformation funds, will be incurred. All expenditures add up to zero, causing huge pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises and difficulty in capital turnover, so they are discouraged from introducing it o & M systems.
10. Difficult Cost Control
Managers are very concerned about the deployment of IT staff, whether existing staff can meet IT system requirements, the ability of IT staff, the turnover rate of IT staff, and so on, all of which affect enterprise costs, and the work of IT staff is hard to be recognized, poor experience and many internal complaints, resulting in unsatisfactory cost control.
