For enterprises, the development of informatization can be divided into three stages: from simple data processing to the formation of management information system, and then to achieve the informatization of enterprise resource planning management.
On the one hand, manufacturing enterprises in pursuit of scale efficiency, make the mold toward the direction of high speed, precision, long life; On the other hand, in order to meet the needs of multiple varieties, small batch, rapid product upgrading and market winning, the enterprise requires mould to develop in the direction of rapid economy with short manufacturing cycle and low cost.
Using information technology to drive and improve the manufacturing technology level of the mould industry is the key link to promote the technological progress of the mould industry.

According to the survey of more than 100 major ERP software manufacturers active in China, their ERP systems rarely involve the solution of mold manufacturing. Or the solution of the mold ERP system only stays in the receipt of the mold, return, repair, maintenance, scrap, etc., and only use the mold as a factory to manage.
The reason why the informationization of the mold industry confuses the majority of ERP manufacturers and makes them recoiled is that the domestic mold industry has its own characteristics:
Query: product data information, relying on manual records to find more and more difficult information, time - consuming.
Version management: in the design process, the version changes even more than a dozen times, multiple version changes easy to cause version confusion, can not ultimately use the correct version of the data.
Security: to ensure the security of product data is a problem that must be solved by enterprises. At present, there is a unified database management of product data, which is vulnerable to illegal calls, copies, modifications and leaks.
In terms of data integration and sharing, most of the design, process and manufacturing are stored on the computer network in the form of electronic files, and the information is scattered. It is impossible to find the corresponding data information of each link in a project management, and the information is still transmitted and communicated by text notification, so the data sharing cannot be realized.
Project management: at present, the assignment of project tasks, tracking and analysis of project progress are handled by special personnel. The workload is large and there is no effective mobile phone to track and control the progress of the project.
