Molds are often referred to as the "mother of industry," with 60% to 80% of parts in major manufacturing industries like automotive, home appliances, electronics, and medical devices relying on mold forming. However, mold enterprises are typical examples of order-based, random-arrival, small-batch discrete manufacturing, characterized by fragmented and random production. For instance, a mold company with 1,000 employees may simultaneously need to schedule hundreds of thousands of process tasks across hundreds of machines, with over 30% of tasks being last-minute insertions. Manual scheduling struggles to achieve optimal coordination, making digital transformation to enhance production efficiency notably more challenging than in industries with single-variety, large-batch production.

In 2006, the EMAN team tackled technological challenges within mold companies, successfully developing a domestic mold intelligent production management software centered around the APS intelligent scheduling algorithm. Using this system, mold companies can schedule hundreds of thousands of processes within seconds, achieving efficient and intelligent optimized scheduling. In scenarios with frequent unpredictable events, it maximizes internal production capacity, significantly improving equipment utilization rates and on-time delivery rates.

In terms of market presence, thanks to its robust product technology, EMAN's mold intelligent production management software has been successfully applied in hundreds of mold manufacturing enterprises, comprehensively covering main mold types like injection molds, stamping molds, and die-casting molds. According to open data from the China Mold Industry Association, 87.5% of the key large precision injection mold backbone enterprises in China and 70% of the top ten die-casting mold enterprises collaborate with EMAN, securing a leading market share. In 2021, EMAN led the formulation and publication of China's first digital capability assessment standard for the mold industry. In 2022, EMAN was featured on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's list of "Outstanding Industrial Software Products" as the sole representative in mold production control software.

Building upon its success in the mold industry, EMAN has expanded its coverage comprehensively in the discrete manufacturing field, extending its product matrix to downstream mold component sectors and military/processing/equipment enterprises. This includes benchmark projects in top-tier domestic and international companies across industries like automotive and parts, home appliances, electronics, military, new energy, semiconductors, medical devices, and packaging, such as FAW, BYD, Magna, Aptiv, Midea, Gree, China North Industries Group, Aerospace Electrical, Jincheng Shares, Pioneer Semiconductor, Zhengtian Medical, and Berry Global.
