Xinjiang Daming Mining Group Co., Ltd.,（新疆大明） founded in 1997, is a private enterprise specializing in the mining and processing of ferrous metal mineral resources and is regarded as a benchmark mining company in Xinjiang. Although the company already had some digital foundations as early as 2012, growing operational complexity required a full upgrade of its information systems to support lean production and digital mine transformation.

Challenges

  • Need to upgrade existing systems to support lean production and higher-level digital mine management

  • Require cross-department and multi-shift collaboration, production big data collection, production planning, and preventive equipment maintenance

  • Need integrated management of three-level ore quantities, production task assignment and execution, monitoring, safety, quality, personnel, and equipment

  • Require seamless integration among SAP cloud ERP, BOS middleware, MES, Surpac, and handheld terminals

  • Need real-time connection between production planning and execution to improve data accuracy and production control

Solution

BOS Cloud implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud integrated with Surpac, the BOS middleware platform, MES, and handheld terminals. The solution connected production planning and execution in real time, enabled lean production practices on site, and achieved business-finance integration across procurement, production planning, production progress, and quality control.

Key Results
