Zhejiang Hongye Electronic Precision Machinery, a 38,000 m² manufacturing plant with 430+ employees, is a Tier-1 supplier for Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, GM, and BYD. Their traditional network could no longer meet Industry 4.0 demands, handheld PDAs and automated equipment frequently disconnected due to signal blind spots.
The Challenge
- Signal dead zones across 38,000 m² of metal-heavy production environment, with 600+ mobile terminals needing 24/7 connectivity
- Heavy maintenance burden. The IT team was overwhelmed with troubleshooting instead of focusing on innovation
- Outdated surveillance with no intelligent alerting, stuck in passive recording mode
The UniFi Solution
Hongye deployed a full-stack UniFi system across the entire campus:
- Enterprise Fortress Gateway for high-performance routing and security
- Full wireless coverage eliminating all dead zones across the factory floor
- AI-powered surveillance with intelligent detection replacing passive recording
- Unified management, network, cameras, and access control in one dashboard
Results
- $28,000 saved annually compared to competitors' recurring licensing costs
- Zero signal dead zones across 38,000 m²
- Dramatically simplified IT operations with single-pane management
- Transition from passive recording to proactive AI-driven security
"The UniFi system completely transformed how we manage our factory. The EFG performance is impressive, and the unified interface allows us to manage the entire campus with very little manpower."
