Tuopu is a Bay Area-based automotive supplier focused on chassis, interior/exterior, and intelligent driving systems. The company is mid-stage in digital modernization—actively implementing ERP, integrating MES/WMS/CMS systems via APIs, and building production dashboards—while managing concurrent challenges around equipment downtime and cross-border coordination. The hiring acceleration (7 roles in 30 days across engineering and manufacturing) and project velocity suggest a push to automate and systematize operations at scale.
Founded in 1983, Tuopu manufactures power chassis systems, interior and exterior components, and intelligent driving control solutions for automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers. The Hayward, California headquarters houses a design and engineering team specializing in interior, exterior, and seal design. Operations rely on SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Siemens PLCs, and Allen-Bradley controls for production and supply-chain management. Current operational focus is on ERP consolidation, reducing unplanned downtime through maintenance KPI tracking, and expanding automation rates across the manufacturing footprint.
Tuopu operates on SAP and Oracle NetSuite for enterprise resource planning, Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLCs for equipment control, and MES/WMS platforms for production and warehouse management. The company is actively integrating these systems via APIs and building production-planning dashboards.
Primary projects include ERP system implementation, API integrations between MES/WMS/ERP/CMS platforms, equipment sourcing to upgrade facilities, maintenance-schedule optimization to reduce downtime, and inventory forecasting and production-planning dashboards.
