Spread’s lean processes and organizational effectiveness are mainly contributed by the following three key digital transformation systems.

1. Automation

   Automation emphasizes on data flow automation, RPA robotic process:

   RPA is used when customers or suppliers do not have electronic data interchange capabilities. It is regarded as an employee of the company, like a “digital staff.“ The Robot can automatically process data input and do a lot of repetitive works, operating within 7 days / 24 hours /365 days without any complaints. It is capable of copying, pasting, and moving data from the government, logistics companies, or customer’s webpages to the company’s system daily.

   Automated data flow:
   Each internal data automatically flows into different departments, and files and reports are automatically generated. Customers’ orders go directly to the production department and are converted into electronic forms to achieve paperless warehouse operation. The combination of electronic structures and smart processes performs a smart operation. The simplified process allows employees to complete tasks efficiently and effectively.

2. Intelligence (AI)

   Low Volume High Mix diverse logistics production:

   Spread’s unique and dynamic logistics service flexibility can efficiently process a small amount of diverse electronic component orders in regardless of its small order size that may not be standardized, such as non-standardized box sizes, labeling rules, and labeling positions, etc. Thus, Spread uses the “one-piece flow” production process by optimizing Japan’s “invisible assembly line” lean production process concept to outperform the traditional assembly lines. Coupled with Spread’s mobile production equipment, for parts that are not consolidated and centralized in a large production area, this mobile intelligent production equipment can track part’s random storage location and work at the site on the order outbound, directly completing the unpacking, data collecting, picking, packing, and labeling based on customized requests. It can also assist the assembly plant in completing the full record of production effectively.  Spread’s “one-piece flow” provides lean and exquisite digital logistics production services to clients by eliminating redundant back and forth movements. In addition, it also conserves warehouse storage space and allows to install more space-saving racks.

   Intelligent process:
   The key components of Spread’s customized smart process design are:
   “Goods’ Data” + “Customer Processes Data” + “Machine Learning Algorithm” = generating “Customized Intelligent Process”

   Through the data collector, operators can communicate and interact with the cargo; the intelligent process will guide the operator to complete the job requirements from various customers with detail and accuracy. When the execution deviates, the operator will receive an instant alert for corrective action. Our ultimate goal is to make sure that the operation and quality control of each carton, each box, and each reel are synchronized. Or else the system will block the operation process, the alarm will sound through the internet connection to synchronize reminders, plus real-time monitoring stations at the warehouse production site and the multinational and cross-region offices. This significant process varied from the traditional quality inspection which incorrect parts are realized at the last station or process, and then the whole batch of goods are inspected or sampled resulting in quality control loopholes and customer complaints.

3. Single Source of Truth
   Spread connects all data end to end, transforming the traditional information silos of various departments and partial data flow through IoT (Internet of Things) and IoS (Internet of Services), to achieve MECE (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive), achieve “no omission and no duplication” process thru the four stages of Real-Time data visualization:

   Visualization 1.0 Real-time dynamic logistics production IoT and cloud customer service IoS visualization

   Visualization 2.0 Real-time process, key activity visualization

   Visualization 3.0 Real-time visualization of individual and team productivity and bonuses

   Visualization 4.0 Real-time cost and gross profit visualization

   Next step is to pursue visualization 5.0, 6.0, 7.0… working collaboratively with customers to help customers accelerate inventory turnover, improve account receivable, and business growth with the least cash flow to reach maximum profit and turnover growth, to be the pioneer and leader in the electronic components industry.
