At the very top of the list was the desire to significantly boost
productivity across all production sites – by about nine percent! In this
context, experts also refer to the pack-to-melt ratio. This is the ratio of
manufactured melted glass at the hot end to pallets of packed goods at the
cold end. What it means in practical terms: Bottles with small scratches have
generally ended up as scrap. This is closely linked to the target quality,
which is also important to Guangdong Huaxing Glass.
A comprehensive approach known as Digitalization Consulting (scoping
workshops, maturity assessment, digitalization strategy, implementation of
the digitalization roadmap).
All-around expertise - Systematic from the very start - Careful analysis and
evaluation.
Implementation roadmap as itinerary
“One of our many
tasks in the consulting process was to balance and weigh the goals and their achievement
as best we could, meaning optimal flexibility combined with optimal quality,
productivity, and power consumption performance.”
Heinz-Josef Lennartz, in charge of consulting in the areas of digitalization,
project development, and customer development for Vertical Glass and Solar at
Siemens
„What Siemens has achieved in recent months makes a lot of sense. In
addition to their professional expertise, what’s been most important for me is
the extremely open relationship on our path to success, which is far from
over!“

Everyone in the industry now acknowledges that Guangdong Huaxing Glass Co.
Ltd., headquartered in Foshan City in China’s Guangdong Province, is Asia’s
largest glass container manufacturer. This privately-owned business headed by
founder Li ShenHua boasts an annual production capacity of nearly four
million tons and annual sales that currently top 7 billion RMB, accounting
for about 15 percent of the domestic market. The company produces glass
containers that are mainly used in the domestic food and beverage,
pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, among others. The range is
impressive: Guangdong Huaxing Glass is able to produce glass containers in
weights from 25 to 2,000 grams with capacities from 20 to 5,000 milliliters
in all shapes and quantities. The color palette extends from ultra-white and
clear compositions to emerald-green and tawny-brown, with more than 3,000
possible container designs. For companies of this size, it’s obviously highly
effective to approach the digital transformation systematically and
strategically.
