SAS Gen5 Connector Automatic Production Line

Customer Industry: Data center & high-speed interconnect

Customer Name: A top global connector manufacturer

Project Date: September 2024

 

 

Project Background

Driven by rapid iterations in product series and models, the customer aimed to improve the flexibility and rapid changeover capability of automation equipment to enable different products to be switched on the same equipment platform while improving equipment utilization rate and productivity.

 

Solution

Mijoint implemented a standardized platform solution with modular designs for various assembly processes, configuring specific modules tailored to product requirements.

By unifying equipment and program standards, rapid changeover between different production modes for various products was achieved, and production data management was combined to meet the production needs of different products.

 

Core Results

Shortened changeover time: Product changeover cycle was reduced from 48 hours to 8 hours, an improvement of 83.33%.

Improved productivity: Cycle time dropped from 6 seconds to 3.5 seconds, boosting efficiency by 42%.

Reduced labor input: Operators per shift were reduced from 13 to 2, a reduction of 11 people per shift.

Improved equipment utilization rate: Different products can be produced on the same standardized platform, reducing repeated equipment investment.

Reduced training & maintenance costs: Unified equipment and program standards streamline operation, maintenance, and operator training across different product production processes.

Improved adaptability to product iterations: The modular platform can continuously adapt to future product iterations.
