Thailand's Leading Condom Manufacturer Utilizes CipherLab RK26 for Enhanced Precision and Digitization in Operational Processes

Thailand is the world’s largest natural rubber producer and a leading exporter of condoms. One manufacturer has taken advantage of this and has become known for its innovation and efficiency. Founded in 1993, the manufacturer is now one of the leading producers of OEM and ODM condoms. Its factory has the capability to produce 60 million pieces per year. Despite its success, the manufacturer faced significant challenges in managing its operational efficiency and improving its competitiveness.

Prior to implementing CipherLab’s mobile computer solution, the manufacturer relied on a manual process for traceability; tracking was done in Excel spreadsheets by manually entering the clock-in time, clock-out time, and type of operation performed for each machine after a work order was received and completed. In terms of production tracking, the tracking of production plans and schedules on spreadsheets that different departments update manually can lead to complex and time-consuming operations, not to mention human errors resulting in low data accuracy.

The manufacturer has made a clear commitment to the quality and origin of its ingredients. Until 2019, the manufacturer decided to address these challenges by utilizing CipherLab RK25 mobile data tracking and collection solutions to enhance real-time work-in-process (WIP) management and improve data accuracy.

The decision to implement CipherLab RK26 was reinforced by the manufacturer’s past four years of positive experience with RK25 and the full support from our trusted local partner. With solid onsite training, the manufacturer leveraged CipherLab’s EnDeCloud to deploy multiple RK26 mobile devices at different work sites, ensuring centralized device deployment securely with lower labor downtime.

When compared to the CipherLab RK25, the RK26's improved ergonomic design allows operators to operate with one hand more quickly easily, allowing them to navigate and operate during their daily busy workflows. Furthermore, RK26 also supports optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanning solution which enables operators to quickly read 7-digit meters and automatically collect the numbers on them for machine inspections. It provides real-time access to relevant data for timely troubleshooting and prediction, and is ideally customized to meet the diverse needs of users.

Over the past four years, the manufacturer has seen a transformative shift in its daily operations and long-term business expansion through continuous improvement. The manufacturer reaps significant advantages from utilizing automated data collection and advanced tracking solutions, as they gain valuable insights into their production processes. This empowers them to continuously optimize their operations, cut costs, and improve the quality of their products and services. With mobile data tracking, the manufacturer can now plan marketing strategies and promotional activities more effectively, leading to in higher customer satisfaction.
