Integrated concept Used in engineering technology, its range is very wide, its content not only involves a variety of different disciplines, different professions, different subsystems, different hardware and software etc..

Integration refers to: integration, integration, eliminate the isolation, combined, integrated and many other implications . The goal is to pay attention to the coordination and optimization of system itself , but the pursuit of system coordination and overall optimization .

Needs to be emphasized is that although the integration of system plays a very important role in the implementation process of many projects, but it does not solve all the problems of the actual logistics a ready-made panacea.

A very good solution if it happened in the implementation phase of major errors or did not seriously consider the possible problems in the implementation process, the result is the project after the completion of the situation is worse than the original case.

In the field of logistics, a typical integrated system usually has three main features.

Focus on logistics itself and with the information of logistics , and logistics in the process of mechanization and not much relationship.

At this point, often a lot of people may think of electric machinery and equipment: materials in transport, processing or trigger information processing (such as barcode scanner) That information will receive feedback and further control and guide equipment action.

It is not by using the concept of integrated system of this kind of information, but only the application of electronic control technology in the field of material handling.

The integrated system of the second characteristics is in manufacturing or warehouse work continuously in the whole process of the existence of a logistics chain without interruption . The implication is that every single product or processing unit in picking, transportation and placement process to reduce artificial intervention .

The integrated system of the third feature is from the beginning to the end of logistics operation , set up the discrete point of operation between the bridge , its meaning includes not only the material transfer process equipment also includes the highly coordinated , transmission and control automation . Among them, the ability to balance and timeliness is very important.

Some may itself is a kind of system integrators, equipment suppliers, system integrators, even their own products have been used, it is usually the case that the device is only a part of the large equipment.

Most importantly, any kind of equipment must be in strict accordance with the requirements of system design and the customer from when, on this issue when in doubt, the customer should reflect its role in the project, which is not only an interested bystander.

As defined above, a system integrator can provide many services, but users should clearly know what they really need is service, especially for large companies, in some areas involved in the project itself has a very rich experience, may require integrators to provide service only to the implementation stage. But for the lack of experience of the small company, choose a full suite of services may be worth considering the way.

How to identify a successful system, including:

- The program is designed to support the operation of enterprise strategy, such as agile manufacturing or JIT

- Logistics is the integration of real-time control

- Is the customer really need? Or just use the large number of new technologies

- Changes in response to possible future flexibility

- The deviation of actual expense and project budget, by improving the efficiency and saving the return logistics cost

- If connected with the information system of the higher level (such as ERP)

- Including detailed and accurate documentation

- Whether the use of the automatic data acquisition mode

- The use of decentralized control as much as possible

- The convenience of the existing staff to system maintenance

- The user can get powerful customer service service

- Whether all components or software modules can use standard

- There is a similar project in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project

- In accordance with the project start time requirements

- Have adequate training program in the project implementation process

The logistics system integration project implementation method

The implementation of the whole project includes the following aspects:

- The project started

- Function specification

- The implementation of the system

- Acceptance test

- System operation

- The end of the project

- System maintenance service

The project started

The system implementation is not only the software and equipment installation, it is a process that is a through changing the existing operating environment to achieve the management of the business changes in a process. The implementation of carefully planned projects will help users make better use of the system. The tasks of this period include:

- The establishment of the project team

- The definition of project objective

- Let the project team members to learn more about the project

- Check delivery things and measure

- Each task, determine the project of required materials and determine the responsibility of project team members

- List the main steps of the system, the next step is to determine the basis of the project schedule milepost

- The organization and specific arrangements and tasks

Function specification

The purpose of this stage is to make a final confirmation system, this phase of the main task is to check and confirm the definition of the behavior of the system document , this phase of the system specification will be used as a reference and test purpose, system specification listed is the function of system integration foundation, acceptance testing standards will also be at this stage is checked and approved.

This phase will be signed after the end user system function standard.

The implementation of the system

The purpose of this phase is the final system equipment delivery, installation and configuration , also includes the development of system installation and preparation, this phase of the task by the user and system integrators jointly completed.

Installation and test of equipment logistics system

The debugging of the system is defined as the best for the correct operation of equipment needed for the final adjustment and steps . Because of the tender of equipment covered by each part is at the installation site first installed together to form a complete system, so debugging is a must .

Generally speaking, on the basis of the technical and responsibility personnel involved in the installation and debugging of the system will be divided into several parts to carry on. Although in some cases these debugging activities may not be understood as a separate part even isn't a debugging part, but they are a precondition for a normal function of the system.

The debugging of the normal activities of the order is: mechanical adjustment, electrical debugging, debugging, testing and acceptance testing of logistics volume.

Acceptance test

Users and system integrators and other participating in this project partners must use an objective measure method to approval system. According to the acceptance test standard, the function of the system will be tested and approved.

In addition, for some functions can not be achieved in this project, system integrators will provide a written plan, it is necessary in the following situations:

1. need a function with third party vendors are developing products, which is beyond the control of the system integrator

2. need a function of third party product changes, which may affect the project schedule and cost

3. need a function is system integrators will sometime in the future to complete, but also not the acceptance test

4. acceptance plan will describe this phase of the system test, the end of this period marks the beginning of system operation.

All shall provide sufficient number of products and human resources for acceptance testing , and an authorized representative shall, in the case of successful acceptance test, confirm the acceptance of the equipment.

The actual test procedure by system integrators for project manager to plan, and execute in the presence of customers. After a predetermined time when the test run, test the success of the system, the system has reached 97% availability (Availability) After.

System operation

Users and system integrators will In a limited range of system commissioning, commissioning of the system after a period of time, the system will be officially put into operation. At this stage, after the operation of the system support plan will be worked out, in order to clear for the possible problems in the process of the service process.

The end of the project

Above each stage after the end users and system integrators to each implementation process to review , this stage can make the project on both sides of the project to have a more clear understanding. Review of each stage will be used to improve the next phase of work.

System maintenance service

System maintenance is supported by the system integrators to undertake the project technology . This plan will ensure maximum system smooth opening and after the normal operation of technology and personnel required to support, so as to guarantee in the project of hardware and software investment.

Equipment and software malfunction of logistics as stipulated in the contract, the warranty period by the contractor responsible for the maintenance and corrective system during normal operation, and provide hardware maintenance. Other peripheral equipment, database system / application system also provided by the supplier / integrators to develop the corresponding warranty maintenance.

The type of service contractor including:

- Hotline

- Troubleshooting guide by the Engineer

- On-site troubleshooting

- In response to the user's service needs fast

- Preventive services, provide regular maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the system and troubleshooting problems.

- Contractor is required by the contract to provide spare parts replacement / temporary replacement.

* *: before the temporary replacement key system / eliminate failure of components, can provide the same type or similar / compatible model systems / components to users according to user requirements.
