Cooperation and win-win, Zhongwang CAD overall solution helps Haima innovation and development

Haima Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (HaiMa Group) is a listed company dedicated to the development of China's national automobile industry. Up to now, it has formed three industrial bases in Haikou, Zhengzhou and Shanghai, covering products such as vans, cars, MPVs, SUVs and new ones. The five major areas of energy vehicles have become typical representatives of national auto companies. FAW Haima Automobile Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of its company.

CAD selection, from genuine to in-depth application

As a listed company, Haima Group actively responds to the national policy of “strengthening the legalization of enterprises”. On the basis of the strong sales strategy of foreign software, Haima Automobile passed the evaluation of technical level and cost performance, and finally chose Zhongwang CAD and purchased it twice in 2012 and 2014, and realized the comprehensive 2D CAD design software in the enterprise. Genuine, localized.

According to the introduction of the hippocampus CIO, the cooperation between Haima and Zhongwang has gone through three stages: As early as 2006-2007, is the concern that Zhongwang CAD can really replace AutoCAD and can be integrated with the Windchill system being implemented? In 2012, after further examining the practical application of Zhongwang in the automotive industry, he conducted in-depth tests on the compatibility of Zhongwang CAD, the opening speed and stability of the large-scale CAD. It is satisfactory. Therefore, we finally dismissed the concerns and started trials from FAW Haima, and now it has been promoted to the entire Haima Group. Up to now, the installed capacity of Zhongwang CAD platform has exceeded 100 sets; the installed capacity of Zhongwang Windchill interface has exceeded 100 sets, and it is gradually being promoted to Shanghai R&D and Zhengzhou base. Not only that, on the basis of the CAD platform, Zhongwang gradually satisfied the needs of Haima by “achieving the seamless integration of 2D design drawings and Windchill system, intelligent enterprise standardization management implementation, and professional department design efficiency improvement”. Provides a more comprehensive, targeted CAD solution.

The hippocampus group CIO said frankly that Zhongwang CAD has become one of the technical routes of Haima Group in designing software, which is suitable for the development of hippocampus enterprises. Moreover, Zhongwang's positive response to foreign software in order to customize business needs has a positive effect on improving the overall management level and design efficiency of the enterprise. More importantly, Zhongwang is based in China and has a global vision for the whole world. It is also in line with the corporate development concept of Haima Group. This gives us a strong confidence.

Zhongwang Windchill interface software for seamless integration of 2D design drawings with Windchill

It is understood that OEM OEMs such as Haima have a large and complex organizational structure, and have different requirements for product data in various business areas such as R&D, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales. For example, in the field of R&D, it is necessary to consider the different work requirements of the professional group such as modeling, general layout design, detailed structural design, and process design. The production and manufacturing links also include four parts: stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly.

BOM is the core of Haima Auto Enterprise Data. The departments and product data involved are numerous. Haima Auto started to manage the entire R&D and manufacturing related data by implementing the PDM system Windchill as early as 2006. There are many majors and departments involved in the application of CAD software in Haima, including electrical, wiring harness, power chassis development department, body, vehicle, manufacturing technology department, product development department, etc. The usage requirements of various departments are also different, but The data needs to be shared again. In the process of interacting with the Windchill system, Haima Automobile faces several difficulties: there are multiple data sources, it is difficult to realize real-time coordinated vehicle design environment; users need to switch between multiple working areas such as Zhongwang CAD and Windchill. More data delivery operations between...

Based on the excellent stability, compatibility, and more open API interface of Zhongwang CAD platform, Zhongwang Software actively coordinated the “Zhongwang Windchill Interface Software” for internal and external R&D resources development, effectively solving these problems:

On the one hand, it breaks through the original working mode of the enterprise and realizes the improvement of design efficiency: through the Windchill interface, you can log in directly to the Windchill system and use the Windchill native workspace to realize the seamless integration of Zhongwang CAD and Windchill: All operations are done internally within the CAD without the need for mediation conversion.

On the other hand, it realizes the association management of the DWG drawing data and the BOM generated by the Zhongwang CAD software. The attributes of the related parts can be automatically synchronized to the 2D drawing and can be automatically associated. The personnel of each business link of the enterprise pass the BOM. Direct access to the overall information of the product.

Third, through the batch check-in detection function of the drawings, the engineer can operate multiple objects at the same time, simplifying the cumbersome "physical labor" that is required to open the search one by one. In addition, cross-product indexing, support for simultaneous online preview and other functions, is a good promotion of effective development of new models.

More importantly, Zhongwang Windchill interface software realizes the unification of data sources in Windchill system, which is conducive to strengthening data quality management and control, and realizes paperless office of enterprises through electronic signing.

Standardized customization is more intelligent, helping Haima automobile management to be more standardized and efficient

As a large auto company with more than 10,000 direct employees, more than 10,000 employees, and more than 30,000 employees, different projects and departments will generate a large number of drawings and related data. Haima Automobile has set up a standardization related department to be responsible for customizing the company's specifications and standards and implementation, such as frames, layers, fonts, libraries, etc., and to check whether the data meets these specifications. However, hippocampus has not had the corresponding tools to help with more efficient execution, and it is impossible to standardize the deployment of batches.

Based on the standardized customization based on Zhongwang CAD, the standardization has more constraints, more intelligent deployment and automation of auditing, which makes the internal management of the enterprise more convenient: on the one hand, the standardization requirements can be distributed to the client through the network. The standardization method from stand-alone setting to network synchronization is realized, which makes the implementation of standardization more intelligent. On the other hand, the content of standardized constraints is more abundant: it was only a simple standard constraint for drawing environment and frame, and has now been extended to the library. , the schedule, the welding symbol, the roughness and other constraints of more than 10 kinds of symbols, as well as the technical requirements library, the uniform constraints of the print configuration.

It is worth mentioning that in the past, the standardization department needed to review the two-dimensional maps that were checked into the system one by one, manually check the frames and some necessary attributes. Now the system can automatically review this part of the content, if it does not meet the system requirements, it will not be allowed to check into the system.

The head of the standardization department of Haima Group said that we initially informed Zhongwang of the standardization requirements related to the enterprise system. Zhongwang took this requirement into consideration in the process of secondary development. Now it is more convenient to use the specially provided hippocampus package program. We have achieved this result and we are very satisfied.

Customized development of functions to directly improve design efficiency

With the in-depth application of Haima Automobile to Zhongwang CAD, Zhongwang technical support engineers have gradually learned that some professional department designers expect CAD software to meet their individual needs in terms of improving efficiency and reducing design errors. Zhongwang's customized R&D team has developed and developed a series of professional functions through in-depth understanding and evaluation, including wire harness, schematic intelligent synchronous design, welding process drawing receipt, and 3D digital-to-analog attribute mapping.

Taking the wire harness department as an example, the previous designer modified one of the line information and needs to manually modify it one by one. However, if this information appears multiple times in different places, it may be partially missed. Now, the harness and schematic intelligent synchronization design function not only realizes the synchronous modification of the line information (wire harness diagram). You only need to modify one of them, and the other places can be updated synchronously, and you can quickly synchronize from the harness table to the schematic.

There are many similar features. However, it is certain that the provision of the above several solutions not only expands the application ability of Zhongwang CAD in Haima Automobile, but more importantly, it can provide strong support for the design efficiency and enterprise management of Haima Automobile.

According to the CIO of Haima Group, how far the cooperation between Zhongwang and Haima can go in the future depends on two aspects: 1. The hippocampus will continue to upgrade the Windchill system, and the development of the Windchill interface will need to be synchronized; 2 Zhongwang is very important in the technical support capabilities required for customized CAD solutions for the automotive industry. Hippocampus will use solutions that meet the needs of the company's development. He also introduced that according to the planning of enterprise information construction, Haima Group is currently promoting the norms of regional North-South cross-regional tools and standards. With the good foundation in the past, I hope that the “Zhongwang CAD solution for hippocampus package” will be able to better realize the smooth delivery and execution of the group system/ideas from top to bottom in the data standardization management. This is also very important. of.

[Postscript] As an outstanding representative of the national automobile industry, Haima Automobile has embarked on a development path through continuous optimization of product development and design, independent research and development and innovation. Also known as the domestic CAD software, Zhongwang Software not only provides users with a single Zhongwang CAD platform product to help enterprises solve the legalization, but more importantly, provides a targeted solution through in-depth understanding of user needs through customized development. Effectively solve the problem of enterprise application and management efficiency. I believe that this example of Zhongwang and Haima's in-depth cooperation and win-win situation can provide reference for more enterprises in CAD selection and application.
