SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Governments around the world are advocating the development and usage of electric vehicles and auxiliary facilities. As the lifetime of batteries keeps increasing and electric car charge points grow in popularity, electric vehicles have now become one of the main transportation options. Compared with natural gas-fueled vehicles, the electric/hybrid vehicles' user experience is as good, if not better, especially with its cost advantages brought by the hybrid fuel-electric technology. Therefore, more and more automakers join the game, including some household names. However, to name one EV company that has the strongest brand presence and largest market share in China, it has to be BYD.

Huawei SAP HANA appliance solution helps BYD, a leading electric/hybrid vehicle maker in China, meet its goals. The solution has empowered BYD with the desired speeds and agility in responding to demands, and addresses BYD's requirements for leveraging high-performance computing to drive down manual intervention and cost and improve supply chain responsiveness. The solution helps BYD stay on the cutting edge amidst the fierce competition.

IT Challenges Become a Barrier on BYD's Path of Growth

With relentless efforts and continuous innovation, Chinese automakers are emerging in the world market in recent years. As a leading EV manufacturing company, BYD insists on building an independent brand, focuses on home-grown products, and adheres to the independent development model. It envisions building a "world-class Chinese automobile brand". Now it has grown as the most innovative and cutting-edge automobile brand, leading the world EV market with unique technical strength.

In addition, most of BYD's Customers are world-leading multinational corporations, who implement the strictest manufacturing standards in the industry. They want to effectively control information such as real-time productivity rate, yield rate of the product lines, and stability of the fabrication process. However, the traditional operating model can hardly meet the requirements of different customers and different products.

Digital Transformation Empowering Professional Services

BYD is clearly standing at the ICT transformation crossroads. To actively respond to market changes and to support long-term development, BYD finally chose the SAP ME solution and Huawei SAP HANA appliance solution. Integrated with its existing core system, the SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the newly deployed SAP extended warehousing management (EWM) system, SAP HANA appliance solution constructs a standardized, streamlined, and transparent comprehensive production execution management platform with stable, reliable, secure, and efficient performance. The solution ensures the traceability and real-time control during the whole production process, shortens the production time, improves productivity and reduces the supply chain costs, maximizing the efficiency of the production line. In addition, by integrating and coordinating the business units, the solution connects all business groups within BYD, optimizing the business processes and improving operation efficiency. The enterprise operation and management become more refined, providing a consolidated foundation for BYD's sustainable and healthy development.

Huawei SAP HANA appliance solution provides two systems. One system is deployed with 5885H V3 mission-critical server and 2 TB memory, used in BYD's development and test environment. The other system is deployed with RH8100 V3 mission-critical server and 4 TB memory, used in BYD's production environment. Huawei SAP HANA appliance solution provides outstanding performance and rock-solid reliability, applies to various application scenarios such as databases, ERP, business intelligence analysis, big data, and virtualization. It is positioned for large-sized enterprises with complex service requirements. The outstanding general design of Huawei server provides sufficient inner space and better heat dissipation capability, ensuring the efficient running of multiple services.

During the project implementation process, Huawei and SAP provide tailor-made overall plan and step-by-step solution implementation according to BYD's business requirements. First, the solution upgrades and optimizes BYD's original supply chain platform, upgrading the ERP system with the multi-language function, deploying the enhanced EHP6 package that supports localization, and upgrading the warehouse management system to the SAP EWM 7.02. In addition, with the implementation of SAP ME 6.0, the solution integrates SAP MII (the warehouse integration and intelligent management software) with BYD's original ERP system and EWM system, connecting the original warehouse business system, the auto product line equipment system, and the latest warehouse management system.

Paving the Way for BYD's New Business Growth

After adopting the Huawei SAP HANA appliance solution, the response time of some BYD's important services is slashed from 1 to 2 minutes to 10 seconds, while the integrated production query time is shortened by 10 times. The target of quick response is well achieved. In addition, after analyzing the historical inventory data, material tracing data, and production yield rate, the solution enables real-time sharing of production data. It has empowered BYD with the desired speeds and agility in responding to demands, and addresses BYD's requirements for leveraging high-performance computing to drive down manual intervention and cost and improve supply chain responsiveness. The solution helps BYD stay on the cutting edge amidst the fierce competition. It has achieved following management objectives:

1. Optimizing the production processes to seamlessly integrate workshops and warehouses;

2. Automated production line management, improving the overall production efficiency of production lines;

3. Traceable production data in the whole process, realizing production process visibility and transparency;

4. Clear, intuitive presentation of production data analysis in charts and tables, facilitating production data sharing and internal management and tracking.

As the competition of Chinese automobile market intensifies, BYD is facing more threats from the rising competitors. BYD will press ahead with business transformation by harnessing digitalization measures, deepen the integration of SAP ME system and ERP, promote lean production, and focus on the customer requirements from different industries, thereby to respond quickly to market changes and synergize information with forward-looking business insights.

To date, 197 companies on the Fortune Global 500 list and 45 of the top 100 enterprises have chosen Huawei as their partner for digital transformation. To know more about Huawei helping enterprises achieve digital transformation, please visit
