III. Successful Case | EFX Helps SCII Overcome Enterprise Project Challenges

IV. SCII Project Challenges Wheels Project

After fully understanding the customer’s requirements, EFX identified two major challenges in this project due to the storage of tens of thousands of SKUs and the complexity of material preparation.

Project Challenge 1: With a wide variety of incoming materials from suppliers and a relatively traditional original management approach, how can effective digital management be achieved?

Project Challenge 2: When production line material preparation often involves small quantities and many product types, how can production requirements be reliably ensured?

To effectively address the above challenges and deliver a solution that perfectly matches the customer’s actual needs, EFX dispatched professional solution planning personnel to the site at the early stage of the project to conduct in-depth and detailed communication with the customer. This included gaining a thorough understanding of each process and pain point across inbound receiving, inspection, storage, sorting, and line feeding. By analyzing the issues one by one and integrating the customer’s operating habits, suitable solutions were identified. After multiple rounds of in-depth discussions with various departments, a project solution satisfactory to the customer was delivered.

V. How EFX Helped SCII Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency

• Inbound material management is difficult—standardize inbound methods, implement barcode management, and achieve clear, dynamic visibility.

  Supplier inbound methods were standardized, unified coding rules were implemented with one code per item, and products suitable for pallet stacking were delivered using SCII’s dedicated AS/RS pallets. This controlled part of the inbound material forms at the source and significantly reduced palletizing work before storage. For products not suitable for direct pallet transportation, materials were scanned before inbound and stored using dedicated AS/RS palletizing solutions. All materials were managed with dedicated codes, making process dynamics clearly visible at a glance.

  

• Small quantities with many varieties make outbound operations difficult—visualized sorting and dynamic picking for fast and accurate operations.

  Due to the special nature of the customer’s products, a wide variety of raw materials are required during the assembly process. To effectively meet this requirement, in addition to standard full-pallet outbound stations, EFX installed more than 20 meters of inbound and outbound diverging conveyor lines on the side of the smart warehouse and set up multiple sorting workstations. Each workstation was equipped with sorting displays and scanning devices, enabling operators to quickly and accurately pick the required materials according to on-screen instructions.

  After sorting, the remaining materials are conveyed via the diverging conveyor line and directly returned to storage through a dual-station RGV, eliminating offline forklift transfer time.

  

VI. Project Significance

Customer satisfaction is always our ultimate goal!

The smart raw material warehouse of Shanghai SCII Electronics Co., Ltd. is another representative case of EFX’s successful collaboration with end customers.

Since its delivery in 2021, the equipment has been running stably, providing reliable production and delivery support for the client’s rapid growth, while both parties continue to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship.
