Challenge
Iljin faced challenges in ensuring stability and throughput during mass production, and before introducing Panasonic equipment, manual adjustments were frequent, resulting in reduced production efficiency and quality.
Solution
By introducing Panasonic's latest SMT machine and software, they achieved stable productivity and automation. Remote monitoring and automatic correction functions minimize downtime and contribute to achieving their cost targets.
“We are in a very cost-competitive world. Year by year the cost challenges are increasing. But definitely by applying Panasonic solutions, we have improved our productivity and quality. It helped us to achieve our cost target.”
Contribution to the growing manufacturing ecosystem in India
"Our mission is to contribute to India's growing electronics manufacturing ecosystem by combining precision productivity and sustainable practices. Before partnering with Panasonic, we faced challenges in stability and throughput during mass production." (COO Avneet Singh)
Importance of global-level manufacturing and technical support
"We also needed to achieve global-level manufacturing levels through cutting edge assembly automations. Equally important for us was Panasonic's technical collaboration, supporting our engineers' processes, knowledge, quick service response, and continuous capability enhancements." (COO Avneet Singh)
Expectations for Stable Productivity and Quality Improvement
"Panasonic's advanced automation technology was essential for achieving stable productivity and high quality in Indian electronics manufacturing. In particular, there was a demand for improved consistency and throughput during mass production, and it was important to reduce the frequency of manual adjustments. In addition, process support for engineers and rapid service response were important factors for increasing manufacturing efficiency." (COO Avneet Singh)
Solutions for minimizing downtime and maintaining high quality
"We believed that Panasonic's automation solutions would contribute to streamlining our production flow and reducing operator's workload. In particular, we were attracted to the fact that remote monitoring functions and the printer's automatic correction function minimize downtime and maintain high-quality output."
(General Manager Jaswendra Singh)
Contributing to customer acquisition by improving production efficiency
"The smart operation functions and intuitive software help streamline production flow and reduce operator's workload. Overall, we have seen a clear boost in efficiency, productivity, and winning over customers for growing demands. The biggest benefits we get from Panasonic machines are precision, reliability, and ease of maintenance." (COO Avneet Singh)
Minimize downtime through line monitoring and rapid adjustments from outside the production area
“Thanks to Panasonic's solutions, we have been able to monitor the line and make quick adjustments even from outside the production area. This flexibility saves time, minimizes downtime, and maximizes operational efficiency so we can respond immediately to needs." (General Manager Jaswendra Singh)
