With the rapid advancement of 5G, AI, and cloud computing, smart production line upgrades have become key for enhancing competitiveness in the manufacturing industry. Amid the global supply chain’s digital transformation, enterprises are increasingly adopting management software and building IIoT architectures to drive automation and smart production lines, and maintain their competitive edge.
Delta, with over 30 years in the industrial automation field, continues to advance the vision of "Digitized Automation for a Changing World" and demonstrate outstanding achievements in smart production line upgrades. By integrating advanced technologies, Delta has significantly boosted production efficiency and capacity—both in its own global plants and for clients. These innovations enable efficient, transparent, and flexible manufacturing management in the era of smart manufacturing.
Partners with Delta for Smart production Line Upgrades
Paonan Biotech Co., Ltd., founded in 1985, is headquartered in northern Taiwan. Paonan specializes in orthopedic and spinal devices/implants, providing innovative and total clinical solutions across Europe, the Americas, and Asia to optimize patient care worldwide. With fast-growing market demand, Paonan’s traditional human management and current scale can no longer sustain its expansion. To enhance efficiency and optimize operations, the company is embracing digitalization and smart systems. David Yeh, chairman of Paonan, stated: "After a thorough comparison, we chose Delta as our partner. With their experience in digital transformation, we will be great partners in making smart upgrades." This collaboration strengthens Paonan’s competitive edge and accelerates its transition to smart manufacturing.
Benefits of Implementing Delta’s Smart Software System
Previously, Paonan’s precision machining relied heavily on skilled technicians for equipment commissioning and process tuning, making quality dependent on individual expertise. This manual-based operation lacked comprehensive data, limiting traceability and process replication. After adopting Delta’s Equipment Automation Program DIAEAP-PMM (Precision Machining Management Platform), Paonan achieves quality control and equipment maintenance automation, while shifting production from manual expertise to system-driven management. Real-time data analysis enables continuous optimization, boosting production yield per person by 30%, reducing operational costs by 20%, and enhancing quality monitoring efficiency by 40%. This systematized approach not only enhances cost efficiency, output, and quality but also lays the foundation for future factory expansion.
Paonan also integrated Delta’s Manufacturing Execution System DIAMES, standardizing production and ensuring seamless vertical integration. As DIAMES receives production plans from management, the system precisely monitors manufacturing processes, optimizing workflow from order to final product. Inspection measurement personnel can upload real-time data and get immediate results, enhancing monitoring efficiency by 40%. Additionally, paperless operations eliminate manual document retrieval, allowing instant access to inspection reports. With real-time dashboards and data visualization tools, managers can monitor production remotely, enabling swift decision-making and process adjustments, while leading to a 45% increase in overall efficiency.
Smart and Digitized Solutions Drive Global Supply Chain Integration
As the medical device industry shifts toward glocalization, enhancing Taiwan’s competitiveness is essential. Paonan, in partnership with Delta, has successfully implemented smart software systems, standardizing production and enhancing efficiency and quality management. Moving forward, this collaboration will expand beyond Taiwan, with Delta supporting Paonan in scaling to cross-plant, cross-region, and cross-national production management. This initiative will seamlessly integrate Paonan into the global supply chain, advancing the future of smart manufacturing.
