Sliced tobacco generally refers to the finished tobacco leaves after the stem removal process and the redrying process on the basis of the primary flue-cured tobacco. In the tobacco industry, sheet tobacco is the main raw material for cigarette production.
Sheet tobacco logistics is a key component of tobacco leaf logistics. For a long time, the basis of information management for sheet tobacco logistics has been relatively weak, and the phenomenon of “one-sided” in sheet tobacco management is manifested as follows: due to the existence of dynamic changes in moisture and the situation of non-integrated production and blending, sheet tobacco is in production, It is difficult to accurately control the allocation, warehousing, and feeding links, and there are often problems such as inconsistent management accounts for tobacco, lack of accurate data support for tobacco scheduling, and “fragmented” backlog of tobacco leaf inventory.
In order to standardize the logistics of cigarettes and strengthen the control of “quantity and quality”, Yunnan China Tobacco Hongyun Honghe Tobacco (Group) Co., Ltd. launched a pilot project of the national bureau-the logistics tracking system for cigarettes in 2014, aiming to realize the production of cigarettes Logistics control, physical tracking and quality tracing of the whole process of, warehousing, allocation, cigarette production and use.
It is reported that the technical verification and overall system research and development work of the cigarette logistics tracking system has been completed, and the trial operation was carried out in the 2015 redrying season, and it will be promoted and implemented in the whole industry in 2016.
“ID card” makes Pianci unique
On December 20, 2015, Kunming, Yunnan.
In a warehouse of the Material Storage Section of the Logistics Center of Hongyun Honghe Group, a large truck full of cigarettes is passing the warehouse. When the rear of the vehicle just left the warehouse gate, the display screen immediately showed the quantity, year, variety, grade and other information of the warehousing piece of cigarettes loaded on the vehicle. In more than ten seconds, with the help of RFID information equipment, the information of the entire car’s 54 boxes of cigarettes was clear at a glance.
The contributor to the realization of “vehicle passing count” is the RFID tag on the cigarette box. After the RFID tag was in contact with the smoke scanning system at the door, the scanning system immediately read the information and displayed the information.
The RFID tag is the “identity card” of the cigarette. Code segment batches were generated according to the production batch. When the cigarettes were produced and packaged into pieces, they printed an “ID card” with the industry’s unique identification code on each cigarette box.
In the redrying plant of Hongyun Honghe Group, the “identity card” of cigarettes has two forms: barcode and RFID tag. These two forms of “identity card” contain the same content. RFID tag format has the characteristics of multi-tag reading, non-visual reading, long reading distance, etc., which facilitates the reading of label data for logistics in and out. As a traditional identification mode, bar code is an effective supplement to RFID tags. The two forms back up each other, which effectively improves the applicability of the label.
Similar to a citizen’s personal ID card, the uniqueness of the “ID card” of a cigarette is determined by a 32-bit code. The information contained in the 32-bit code mainly includes rebaking production company code, production line, shift, commissioning unit company code, production date, etc. At the same time, the built-in data of the “ID card” is readable and writable, which is suitable for the characteristics of long life cycle of cigarettes and frequent daily maintenance. It can also continuously record related management information of cigarettes to realize the logistics and quality traceability of cigarettes.
In order to quickly and conveniently read the “ID card” information, Hongyun Honghe Group has designed multiple scanning methods such as PDA mobile scanning, fixed gantry scanning, forklift scanning, etc., to facilitate the scanning of cigarettes. Quickly scan the code and enter the warehouse. Once the information is read, it is uploaded to the group data center through the network system and connected with ERP, MES and other systems to realize the interconnection and intercommunication of information within the enterprise.
The small “identity card” allowed Hongyun Honghe Group to find out about the family of Cigarettes and improved the management of raw materials.
It is reported that Hongyun Honghe Group’s annual demand for sheet tobacco is about 4 million quintals, of which 80% comes from the threshing and redrying workshops under the group’s factories, and 20% comes from external procurement of tobacco leaves. At present, the Group’s logistics center has its own cigarette storage area of 350,000 square meters, and a rented warehouse area of 150,000 square meters. Most of them adopt the closed storage method of multi-layer flat warehouses. Due to the scattered locations of warehouses and the large inventory of flake cigarettes, the previous flake cigarette inventory management is facing greater pressure.
For a period of time, the information sources of Hongyun Honghe Group’s tobacco circulation and dispatching process were mostly based on manual document transmission and manual processing, which is very unfavorable for real-time grasp of logistics inventory. After equipping cigarettes with an “ID card”, companies can use RFID, barcode and other information identification technology to realize the production and coding of cigarettes from redrying, to the storage of cigarettes from the redrying company, and the removal of cigarettes from the warehouse to industrial enterprises. The whole life cycle management of goods circulation such as the inbound, outbound, and feeding of flake cigarettes.
Through “ID Card” and “One Clean, Many Scans”, Hongyun Honghe Group has realized the whole process tracking of cigarette logistics.
Uniform standards to avoid data “fights”
Data will also “fight”?
Yes, data “fights” often occur in the logistics of cigarettes.
Hongyun Honghe Group Information Management Department Zeng Rong said that the data “fights” on the cigarette logistics mainly refers to the inconsistent data of the cigarettes flowing through various production links, which leads to the distortion of information and data at the group level. For example, inaccurate, untimely, and invalid data in the production, allocation, warehousing, and feeding of raw materials for cigarette smoke may easily lead to mistakes in the group’s decision-making in the development of new products.
Generally speaking, data “fights” are mainly caused by inconsistent data exchange standards between various links and poor data quality.
Having an “identity card” does not mean that the tracking of cigarette logistics is accurate. If Pianci is regarded as a person, then Pianci’s “ID card” is actually a database that includes information such as his appearance, weight, and birthplace. Zeng Rong said that in reality, people’s appearance, weight, etc. will change over time, eating habits, etc., resulting in a situation that does not match the ID photo. In the same way, flake tobacco will undergo alcoholization and mildew in storage and logistics, and its weight and quality will also change. In this regard, Hongyun Honghe Group started with a unified standard to regulate data exchange, and carried out refined analysis to ensure the reliability of logistics data.
——Construct a unified and standardized cigarette data exchange system and data service interface, provide cigarette information exchange and sharing services, and realize a standardized and unified data exchange system.
——Through data mining and other technical means, multi-angle analysis and multi-level tracking of the data generated in the logistics management of cigarettes to ensure the reliable and checkable data of cigarettes, business data, and analysis data, and provide for macro decision-making and business decision-making Reliable data basis.
——Realize lean data analysis with digital warehousing. Use data analysis technology to achieve hierarchical and slice display of warehousing data, and conduct comprehensive special data analysis combined with information such as recipes and material codes to enhance the ability of data information to support business decision-making.
Accurate data is inseparable from effective updates. Through refined operation and control, Hongyun Honghe Group updates the business data of cigarette logistics in real time, adopts scientific, standard, and advanced calculation methods to carry out cigarette inventory and dispatch accounting, so as to provide industry management personnel with a clear understanding of the status of cigarette inventory. Conditions and means.
After unified standards, standardized data exchange and effective real-time updates, Hongyun Honghe Group’s tobacco data has become more reliable. Since the system went online for trial operation in January 2015, the Group has used the system to track 45 documents for the rebake plan and 320 documents for the execution of scheduled production tasks. The basic information of these systems and the recorded cigarette logistics information realize real-time interaction with the cigarette logistics tracking system industry platform, group ERP, group master data system, realize information sharing and data exchange, and improve data accuracy.
“Internet +” to build a two-tier three-dimensional control
The tobacco logistics tracking system of Hongyun Honghe Group has achieved remarkable results in the construction of informationized tobacco logistics of Hongyun Honghe Group: stricter physical control has promoted the improvement of production efficiency and product quality; more rigorous decision-making and scheduling has promoted the improvement of lean management.
However, the value of the system lies not only in the enterprise, but also in the entire industry.
At the project acceptance meeting in September 2015, experts participating in the meeting believed that through the data collection and monitoring of the cigarette circulation link, it is possible to accurately grasp the processing, inventory and feeding information of the industry cigarettes in a timely and accurate manner, and to monitor the raw materials of various industrial and commercial enterprises. The production, supply and feeding conditions can realize the full life cycle management of cigarettes, improve the logistics management and control methods of the industry, ensure the effective implementation of the industry’s cigarette production decisions and the regulation and control targets of the cigarettes, and provide the maintenance and management of the cigarettes of various industrial enterprises in the industry. And production input materials provide effective real basic data support.
Therefore, Hongyun Honghe Group’s cigarette logistics tracking system adopted the overall structure of “two-level platform, three-tier application” at the beginning of the construction, which facilitates the industry to achieve more stringent macro-control of raw materials and promotes the improvement of the level of raw material security.
“Two-level platform” refers to industry platform and enterprise platform, and “three-tier application” means that the entire system is divided into three layers: industry-level application, enterprise-level application, and field operation execution layer application. Industry-level applications take industry supervision as the core, while providing standard support and cross-enterprise information sharing services for enterprises; enterprise-level applications take cigarette logistics business management as the core, realize the full life cycle logistics tracking and quality traceability of cigarettes, and realize the storage of cigarettes Digitization of management; the application of field operation execution layer is mainly based on scanning code operation control and automatic data writing, identification and uploading.
The construction of the entire system is based on adequate information construction, and all information collection, transmission, analysis, and storage are based on complete information equipment and systems. It can be said that without informatization, the logistics tracking system for cigarettes is just a castle in the sky.
In the construction of the cigarette logistics tracking system, Hongyun Honghe Group makes full use of the industry transmission channel constructed by the “No. 1 Project” and the pre-environment established by the tobacco logistics comprehensive supervision and dispatch system, and integrates the “two cigarettes” transaction system and monopoly standards. Transport certification system, tobacco logistics integrated supervision and scheduling system, enterprise ERP, etc., without changing existing management functions and existing business processes, expand logistics tracking to the field of cigarette logistics, and give full play to the industry’s Internet of Things.
On this basis, the logistics tracking system for cigarettes has controlled key nodes, with the logistics tracking of cigarettes as the main line, the code segment generated by the contract as the starting point, and the means of system integration to form a unified cigarette logistics “one dozen, The management and control mechanism of “five sweeps and three integrations”.
“One dozen” is an integrated label formed by printing barcodes and RFID on the cigarette box. “Five Scans” are the five links of re-curing enterprises’ storage of cigarettes, out of storage, industrial enterprises’ storage of cigarettes, out of storage, and feeding of cigarettes. Both of these processes can instantly transmit data to the industry platform. The “Three Integrations” means the integration of logistics management and planning control, monopoly management, and lean management. In this way, the National Bureau can conduct comprehensive, precise and timely control over the production, inventory, and allocation of re-baked cigarettes, as well as the purchase, inventory, and feed of cigarettes in industrial enterprises.
At the same time, through the extension of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, mobile Internet, cloud technology, and big data in the industry supply chain, the cigarette logistics tracking system has also promoted the in-depth integration of a new generation of information technology and the tobacco industry, and has continuously improved the digitalization and informatization of the industry. , Intelligent work goals.
