In the report on the digital transformation of the enterprise, do you often hear "Department A has built the XX digital system to replace the offline traditional EXCEL manual reporting" or "We have made the offline EXCEL data online by launching the XX application".
Obviously, the online data in EXCEL is a very necessary and common rigid demand in the process of digital transformation of enterprises. It can transform a lot of scattered offline data into online data assets of enterprises.
However, during the customer visit, we heard a lot of other voices from the business department, "We don't want to change the way we used to fill in and manage field data because of digital transformation", "We still hope to use EXCEL for data management" , "EXCEL is easier for our business colleagues to use"...
Our pre-sales teacher keenly captured this "contradiction" and developed an online EXCEL component. With this component, business students can not only fill in and modify data in the interface they are familiar with, but also realize automatic online conversion of data and directly convert it into data entity objects, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In this article, we invited two guests from Shenzhen Jingtai Technology and Beijing Nengke Ruiyuan, as the first batch of early adopters in China, to share their experience~
Sharing guest 1: Chen Weiwei, Technical Director of Automation R&D Department of Jingtai Technology
The guest’s company – Jingtai Technology is a world-leading technology company driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. Founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2014, it is committed to realizing digital and intelligent innovation in the fields of life sciences and new materials. Based on cutting-edge technologies and capabilities such as quantum physics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and large-scale experimental robot clusters, the company provides innovative technologies, services and products for the global biomedicine, chemical industry, new energy, new materials and other industries.
Chen Weiwei: "The value of this component lies in 1. It can improve the efficiency and convenience of users. Through this component, users can complete a certain task more quickly, saving time and energy. At the same time, this function can also allow users to more conveniently Use the product to improve user experience and satisfaction. 2. Relieve system pressure, the import and export of a large amount of data is a big test for system performance."
Application requirement scenario introduction:
The main work of Jingtai Technology's compound team is to manage the data of each compound, including the entry, picking, packaging, and delivery of compound orders. The picking task is heavy, and the task needs to be assigned to multiple people. After the task is completed, it will be entered into the system for summary. Picking and warehouse-out operations need to verify the accuracy of the data to avoid errors in the out-of-stock compounds.
Why use the online EXCEL component?
In response to the above requirements, the original design plan is to export the data of the compounds to be picked to excel first, and then manually assign the data to the pickers. After the picking is completed, the administrator will summarize the excel data and then input it into the system. The system will update the compounds according to the excel data. data. After using the online excel component, the above requirements can save the cumbersome steps of data export, manual task assignment, summary, input, etc., and directly operate the online excel data, which greatly improves the work efficiency. And other components such as DataGrid2 can only realize simple data entry, cannot use the Excel function, and the interface display is not as intuitive as Excel.
Sharing guest 2: Ruan Yizheng, Director of Mendix Business Department of Nengke Technology
Nengke Technology was established in December 2006 and listed on the main board in October 2016. It is a leading provider of intelligent manufacturing and intelligent electrical advanced technology in the industry. It is headquartered in Beijing, with branches in Shanghai and Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi'an and other places Set up an office, the company has 1000+ employees, and is an excellent partner for the digital transformation of manufacturing companies. Focusing on the industrial Internet business ecology and the full-process digital twin organizational capabilities, based on the productivity center, we will build a new era of enterprise application service infrastructure, empowering Enable customers to realize intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation; won the "Specialized Specialized New Little Giant" enterprise by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Application Scenario Requirements Description:
In the Nengke supply chain data collaboration visualization platform project, the customer's original material demand for raw material suppliers, supply planning, supply and demand balance, and output forecasting have been fully online, analyzed automatically, and visualized. This scenario mainly Introduces the excel plug-in to analyze the supply and demand balance of suppliers' materials, and analyzes whether there is a material supply risk through the supplier's material demand, planned supply, actual supply and other data.
Why use the online EXCEL component?
The difference from the traditional system business is that there is a large amount of data that needs to be displayed, calculated, processed and analyzed in the business environment of each item of the project. The traditional WEB interface form + list is used in the processing of data volume and front-end page rendering data. The efficiency, back-end computing logic efficiency, and operation convenience cannot meet customer demands. For example, customers need to see the supply and demand balance of hundreds to thousands of rows of materials within 54 weeks in one interface. After using the excel plug-in, users can query, edit, update and process large batches of data, and at the same time combine the data logic of automatic processing by the system And automatically identify different status data by different colors, with the help of other auxiliary functions of the excel plug-in, it helps users improve the efficiency of data processing, and at the same time establishes a good user experience.
