With China's accession to the World Trade Organization and the development of global economic integration, it is bound to have a huge impact on the system of China's traditional industries. We must reform the traditional operation mode to adapt to the market. For Dongguan mold factories to participate in international competition, they must align the forms and means of information exchange with international standards. As is well known, e-commerce represents the future direction of trade development and is also an inevitable trend of economic development and progress. During the period when market competition is gradually deepening, the innovation ability of enterprises has increasingly become an important component of their competitiveness, and information resources have also increasingly become strategic resources for enterprises.

Most of China's mold enterprises are small and medium-sized ones, having grown from workshop-style enterprises. Even now, many mold enterprises still adopt workshop-style management, and problems keep emerging in terms of mold delivery time, cost and quality control. Facing fierce market competition and backward management methods and levels, the management and technical personnel in mold enterprises can only run around frantically. Therefore, for mold manufacturing enterprises to enhance their management level and possess the ability to respond quickly and make timely adjustments, it is very difficult to achieve the informatization of management without an advanced management system. Through information construction, mold manufacturing is realized. The so-called informatized mold enterprise refers to the application of INTERNET, ERP and other information technologies in mold enterprises, which fixes the upstream and downstream business processes, technical communication processes, and internal business management processes of mold enterprises in the form of IT, ultimately improving the operation and management level of mold enterprises and enhancing the operational efficiency of mold enterprises.

At present, the promotion of CAD/CAM technology has moved from the stage of "throwing out drawing boards" to the stage of in-depth application. The application of CAPP technology in Qingxi Mold Factory can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the enterprise's process planning. The application of the PDM system can effectively manage product development data. The application of MIS/ERP systems can fundamentally reduce the costs of enterprises and enhance production and management efficiency. The integration of information and functional coordination among these systems, as well as the gradual realization of comprehensive informatization of enterprises, have become the theme of the in-depth application of CAD/CAM technology and represent the second revolution in the development of molds.
