Ranked First in China and Third Globally, Pool Cleaning Robot Expert Tianjin Wanyuan Launches EMAN MOM Intelligent Manufacturing System Project

In recent years, "new species" in the smart consumer scenario sector have proliferated. Following the rise of robotic vacuum cleaners, niche markets such as pool cleaning and high-altitude cleaning are rapidly advancing. Traditional methods of pool cleaning, which include manual cleaning, vacuum cleaners, and pressure pumps, are time-consuming, waste water and electricity, and result in expensive yet often unsatisfactory cleaning results. With rising labor costs, the advent of underwater cleaning robots has revolutionized the industry.

These multifunctional pool cleaning machines not only free up human labor but also address service issues linked to human error, garnering significant attention from both the market and investors. Speaking of pool cleaning robot manufacturers, one cannot overlook Tianjin Wanyuan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., the top player in China and ranked third globally.

Amid its rapid development, Wanyuan has recently launched the EMOM project by EMAN, affirming its commitment to digital transformation and aiming to enhance market influence through technological prowess and product quality.

About Tianjin Wanyuan>>

Established in 2005, Tianjin Wanyuan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as Tianjin Wanyuan) is China's first company specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of pool cleaning robots. It is also the only national high-tech enterprise in the country with a full line of cleaning robot products for both above-ground and in-ground pools, catering to private and public swimming pools. Their self-developed WINNY WYBOT series pool cleaning robots have obtained 32 domestic and international patents and certifications such as EU CE, RoHS, US and Canada CETL, Germany GS, and Australia SAA. It has been selected for three national science and technology innovation fund projects and six key industrialization projects supported by Tianjin and growth projects for small giants.

Tianjin Wanyuan's products are sold in over 30 countries and regions worldwide, with major markets in European countries such as France, Austria, Germany, and Spain, as well as the US and Canada in North America. The company has successfully entered global retail chains like Carrefour, Auchan, Walmart, and international specialist chain stores.

Wanyuan products

With over ten years in the pool cleaning industry, Tianjin Wanyuan leverages its complete domestic supply chain, leading to fast product iterations, significant cost advantages, and a much higher value-for-money compared to foreign brands. Despite high competition barriers in the industry, as a discrete manufacturing enterprise, Tianjin Wanyuan faces challenges such as reduced profit margins, increased customer demands, export tax policy changes, labor shortages, personnel management issues, rising raw material costs, and increased labor costs. Its global perspective compels Tianjin Wanyuan to "stay vigilant in times of ease," hoping to establish a "scientific, comprehensive, systematic, and standardized" lean production management system with the help of the MOM system, aiming to enhance production efficiency, management efficiency, and product quality while reducing production and labor costs.

Backed by EMAN's leading technology in APS intelligent scheduling algorithm on an international level, Tianjin Wanyuan's Technical Director Yu Qian, who has extensive experience in France, quickly reached a cooperation agreement with EMAN after a thorough understanding of the EMOM intelligent manufacturing system solution. After extensive research and business sorting, EMAN designed a MOM project (Injection MES + WMS + MDC + APS) for Tianjin Wanyuan, fully integrating manufacturing resources and building a complete information resource database. The project focuses on enhancing the following areas:

01、Intelligent Automatic Scheduling
Seamlessly integrated with ERP, employing APS advanced scheduling for rolling scheduling, it provides precise, fast, and executable plans to guide production, reducing the burden on planners and increasing equipment utilization rates.

02、Paperless Operations Throughout the Entire Process
Achieving paperless operations, enabling one-click quality traceability queries and closed-loop quality handling, forming a quality knowledge base for continuous improvement;

03、Comprehensive Production Process Control
By connecting data terminals with production equipment, it automatically monitors and understands the availability of all production resources, including equipment, personnel, and materials. The system provides real-time insights into workshop production and quality conditions and supports viewing status through various media (e.g., data terminals, computers, electronic boards, mobile phones).rowess and product quality.

04、Digital Management of Mold Equipment
The system achieves paperless equipment and mold maintenance/inspection with a three-level abnormality warning system, reducing equipment wear and improving utilization rates.

05、Intelligent Warehousing Management
Implementing barcode management for raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished goods, enabling scanning for allocation, in/out warehousing, coupled with FIFO principles to recommend optimal material preparation, achieving lifecycle management for materials.

Key Period for Transformation and Upgrading With High-Level Planning and Comprehensive Execution

At the project launch meeting, Tianjin Wanyuan's Technical Director Yu Qian provided important directives and explanations regarding the project's scope and requirements:
"For manufacturing enterprises, standardization is a necessary process. Without a comprehensive digital production management system, the execution of the company's development strategy will be directly impacted. For the smooth implementation and successful launch of the project, determination must not only exist among module leaders but also be communicated throughout the departments. Each department should organize internal meetings, relay information to teams, and establish reward and penalty mechanisms to evaluate, assess, and motivate involved personnel. Any encountered issues should be actively resolved to ensure the project is smoothly launched."

Leveraging Strong Teams to Build an Industry Benchmark

EMAN Product Director Yang Cheng introduced the EMAN project team, project communication mechanisms, and project assessment systems in terms of project implementation assurance. Yang Cheng stated:
"This project has gathered the best of EMAN’s MOM business unit, with EMAN committing the most suitable and excellent resources to ensure high-quality project implementation. We hope that Tianjin Wanyuan will actively cooperate with us, promptly identifying issues and communicating solutions for collective effort, making the project an industry cooperation model and benchmark."

According to statistics, there are approximately 30 million pools worldwide, mainly in the European and North American private pool markets and China's public pools. With the successful online operation of the intelligent manufacturing system co-developed by Tianjin Wanyuan and EMAN, the company is expected to further enhance its market influence and brand reputation in the pool cleaning sector, establishing itself as the world-leading domestic pool cleaning brand!
