Challenge	RE-DAI Precision Tools, a leading hand tool manufacturer in Taiwan, was facing significant challenges due to its traditional industrial manufacturing and management model. The company had a diverse portfolio of production machinery acquired over the years, which led to a haphazard approach to managing the machinery. The challenge for Impelex was to implement a real-time system that monitored machine operations and incorporated a mobile dashboard to prevent power outages and improve overall production efficiency. RE-DAI needed a fully mature communication solution to unify and control all the disparate systems on one platform. Read More
About Customer	RE-DAI Precision Tools, founded in 1984, is one of Taiwan’s leading hand tool manufacturers. The company has enjoyed decades of success in the tools fabrication market. As an established leader, RE-DAI has continued to follow a traditional industrial manufacturing and management model, even during recent times that have presented significant challenges. The company has a diverse portfolio of production machinery acquired over the years, which has led to a haphazard approach to managing the machinery. The company needed a solution to unify and control all the disparate systems on one platform. Read More
Solution	Impelex leveraged a ready-made OEE solution, one of Advantech’s iFactory Solution Ready Packages (SRP), to meet the challenge. By utilizing Advantech’s rich industry experience in smart factories, Impelex quickly developed an OEE SRP that was easily deployed on the factory floor, avoiding costly and time-consuming in-house development and integration. With all of RE-DAI’s production machinery now communicating and functioning at maximum efficiency, Impelex was able to explore the many advantages Advantech’s SRP offered. Impelex trained RE-DAI technicians how to command an eagle-eye view of all RE-DAI resources using the OEE system from the main dashboard. The digital transformation led RE-DAI to retrieve 100% of the data collected from its diverse infrastructure. Read More Log in to view content
