byDelonghi SteelFor example, this steel enterprise, established in 2000, has an annual output of 3.5 million tons of iron, steel and timber, and has nearly 4,000 employees. It is now one of the top 500 enterprises in China. As early as 2009, Delong cooperated with Kingdee on the ERP level, and then the cooperation went deep into different business fields of the whole group, with Kingdee ERP as the core business platform, through Kingdee’s existing business systems, as well as the i-MES system, independent research and development. CRM and other systems have created an integrated solution in line with Delonghi management. Over the past few years, the two parties have gradually completed the basic work of Delong’s digital transformation, breaking down the pain points of mining and sales faced by the capital-heavy industry of metallurgy, and realizing standardized, efficient, refined and flexible industry solutions such as automatic settlement of bulk materials and automatic sales settlement.

The core platform of the group has also been fully constructed, realizing the integration of industry and finance, management and control, production, supply and marketing, and system platformization of the whole group, and the efficiency has been increased by more than 2 times.

Ding Liguo, chairman of Delong Steel and Xintiangang Group, revealed that with the strategic shift from “digital Delong” to “intelligent Delong”, and pushing digital applications to the deep-water area, Delong Steel has launched the Kingdee Cloud Sky Pilot. A new generation of enterprise-level PaaS platform, based on enterprise-level cloud-native architecture and the idea of ​​middle-stage, combined with innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, big data, internet of Things, etc. and Kingdee’s years of enterprise-level technical service accumulation, to provide enterprises with Multi-scenario and multi-level digital service support.

During the pilot period, Kingdee will build five digital support platforms for Delong, namely an information system platform for employees, a customer experience platform for customers, an IoT platform for equipment, an ecosystem platform for partners, and an intelligent data analysis platform.

Then China Petroleum International Exploration and Development Corporation (referred to as theCNPC International) as an example, in early 2018, they selected Kingdee Cloud Cosmic as the technology platform to build an overseas social security information network platform to enhance the safety of personnel overseas through information technology.

As a professional company under CNPC responsible for the centralized management of overseas oil and gas exploration and development, refining and chemical engineering, and pipeline operations, most of CNPC’s overseas projects are located in Iraq, South Sudan, Niger, and Chad in high-risk and extremely high-risk countries. The perennial Chinese personnel stationed abroad account for 83% of the Chinese personnel in the overseas sector. However, the social security situation in the countries or regions where overseas projects are located is extremely severe, complex, with high uncertainty and lack of relevant security information management.

To this end, CNPC International needs a set of overseas social security information network platform, built based on the urgent needs of the international social security situation and the concept of HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) management system.

However, there are no standard products on the market that can be used for reference. All applications need to be customized and developed. Based on the urgency of the project, the platform is required to have a short development cycle, be easy to learn and use, and have strong scalability. At the same time, the technology platform is required to provide high availability and high concurrency. The ability to ensure that the system provides 24-hour uninterrupted services, to ensure that all employees can be online at the same time, and when risks occur, messages can be delivered in time.

Based on the low-code visualization development platform of Kingdee Cloud Sky, the customer quickly customized and developed CNPC International’s HSE system. The platform supports cloud-native architecture, supports distributed deployment and elastic scaling of the system, and maximizes the availability of the system.

Through the construction of the HSE system, the safety of project personnel of overseas companies is monitored. When overseas employees are in distress, through the HSE system, they can call for help with one key and feed back necessary rescue information (location, pictures, sounds and videos, etc.). The system can issue alarm information in a timely manner for personnel with abnormal status, push travel risk reminders through the platform, and strengthen social security prevention and control beforehand; further improve social security information management, strengthen social security risk and event management, and track the progress of incident rescue. Ultimately, through technical and management methods, the safety of life and property of overseas staff is guaranteed, and unnecessary losses are reduced for enterprises.
