IT & Quality Systems | CHOUN YI INDUSTRIAL — ERP, PDM, virtualised servers, NAS backup and ISO 9001

Drawings stay confidential. Records stay traceable. Production keeps running.

Choun Yi runs daily production on ERP, PDM, virtualised servers and a backup system. Customer drawings and commercial information are protected by access control and backups; material, labour and inspection data are recorded for every work order; and production can be restored quickly if a system fails.

ERP — Enterprise Resource Planning

Data Systems Workflow ERP has been in use since 2017. Orders, material requirements, purchasing, work orders, inventory and costing all live in one system. Every work order records its progress, materials and labour from order intake to shipment, so delivery dates and costs are visible in real time.

CAD & PDM — Design and Drawing Management

Design work is done in SolidWorks CAD, and every drawing is stored centrally in SolidWorks PDM, which controls versions, approvals and access rights. A customer's drawings can only be opened by staff assigned to that project; every change is logged, the wrong revision cannot be used, and files never sit loose on individual PCs.

Access to customer drawings restricted per project
Full revision history — no wrong drawings on the floor
Files managed centrally, never loose on personal PCs

VMware Virtualised Servers

Core systems such as ERP and PDM run on a VMware ESXi virtualisation platform, separating the systems from the physical hardware. If hardware fails, a system can be restored or moved to another host quickly, keeping the server recovery time objective (RTO) to a minimum — shipments do not stop because one machine breaks.

Core systems managed and monitored centrally
Fast restore to another host after hardware failure
Less downtime, shipments maintained

NAS Backup System

System data and drawings are backed up automatically to a NAS on a fixed schedule, with multiple point-in-time versions retained. Whether the cause is accidental deletion, ransomware or hardware damage, customer drawings and production data can be rolled back to a chosen point in time, and the backup and restore process is checked regularly.

ISO 9001 Quality Management System

Our quality management system is certified by BSI to ISO 9001:2015 (first registered in 2010 and maintained since) for the manufacture of stamping parts and knives; information security is separately certified to ISO/IEC 27001. Incoming, in-process and outgoing inspections follow written procedures with records; measurement data is linked to production batches, so complete traceability records can be provided for customer audits.

From order to shipment, one connected data trail

Sales books the order; production planning schedules it in ERP and generates material requirements, from which purchasing places orders. The shop floor draws material and reports work against the work order, quality writes inspection data back to the same order, and shipping and costing close it out. PDM supplies drawings to every step, and the whole stack runs on virtualised servers with scheduled backups.
