"A New Era Begins: The Launch of the Printing and Packaging Industry 4.0 Operating System"

In this era of rapid digital and intelligent  transformation, the printing and packaging industry has been eagerly awaiting the emergence of an epoch-making super system. This system, much like ChatGPT, stunned everyone upon its debut, bringing a whole new world of possibilities to the entire industry.

On March 3, 2023, the Realscheme Sistrade system unveiled its mysterious veil at the Guangzhou Canton Fair Exhibition Hall. During the product launch, Chen Liang, the founder of Zhongshang International, defined it as the backbone and operating system of digital factories in the printing and packaging industry. It is similar to Google's Android and Apple's OS. It is a brand-new generation ERP system designed specifically for the digitalization and intelligence of printing and packaging companies.

By the end of the event, I couldn’t help but exclaim that Sistrade is the ERP system that comes closest to digitalization and intelligence among the many ERP systems that have appeared recently.

From today onwards, a hot topic of ongoing interest in the domestic printing industry will be: What is the essential difference between the Realscheme Sistrade system and traditional ERP systems, and should companies adopt it before their competitors do?

Unveiling the Mystery of Sistrade

On March 3, 2023, the "Realscheme Printing and Packaging Industry Digital Transformation Solutions Product Launch Conference" was grandly opened at Meeting Room 3, Area A of the China Import and Export Fair Complex.

The distinguished guests present at the event included: Professor Cao Guorong, Secretary-General of the Packaging Printing and Label Professional Committee of the China Packaging Federation; Mr. Mario Ferreira, Economic Counselor of the Portuguese Consulate in Guangzhou; Mr. Zhang Hongwei, Deputy Director of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology; Mr. Li Jiong, Secretary-General of the Guangdong Printing and Replication Industry Association; Mr. Chen Liang, General Manager of Zhongshang International Technology; Ms. Zhou Xiaoqing, General Manager of Shanghai Realscheme Enterprise Management Consulting; and Professor Chen Qifeng from the School of Light Industry and Food at South China University of Technology. Additionally, representatives from printing and packaging industry associations from Shandong, Zhejiang, Hunan, and other provinces in China also attended and supported the event.

In the view of Founder Chen Liang, Sistrade is the operating system for the future of Industry 4.0 in the printing industry. Its auxiliary tables allow for secondary development, and the software's configurability is particularly strong. The vertical software requires no maintenance, and its future functional demands are already prepared. Therefore, it is suitable for any type of printing and packaging product.

Many software solutions in the market charge around 10% of freight fees annually, offer limited functionality modules, and lack scalability. Sistrade is vastly different. Once adopted, there are no issues with system replacement, as it operates on a global version with best practices shared and unified iterations. It offers flexible configuration to meet clients' unique demands, making it the ultimate solution. For this next-generation information system, Sistrade's architecture has already taken into account the return on investment for businesses. Entrepreneurs no longer need to invest heavily in IT maintenance costs or to maintain large development and operations teams.

>>>>Ms. Zhou Xiaoqing demonstrated the powerful features of the system to the guests.

 

Ms. Zhou Xiaoqing, General Manager of Realscheme Consulting, provided the attendees with a detailed explanation of the powerful capabilities of the Sistrade system. The system has a high level of integration, including intelligent quoting, intelligent procurement, intelligent logistics, outsourcing management, data collection, quality management, and more.

The intelligent logistics system enables full-process traceability, including logistics in and out, batch management, and both centralized and decentralized management.

The procurement module's material value management system includes batch import, historical records, and price comparison.

The system also offers powerful outsourcing management capabilities, including branch and contract management.

In terms of production management, the system simulates material quantity ratios on the product technical data sheet (TDS), process and adjustment parameters, automatically generates procurement numbers, quality requirements, and notifications, and controls payments.

The system has already integrated with the payroll system and piecework system, allowing seamless communication with finance.

The management module automatically generates non-conformance reports and corrective/preventive action reports.

This new system is standardized, digitalized, and iterative. It includes intelligent reporting and business intelligence, with direct data connections to production and logistics equipment. It also has a powerful quoting function that can simulate real-world scenarios, automatically generate reports, and features a user-friendly interface.
