Our client, faced with the challenges of a changing economic landscape and shifting demographics in the workforce, sought to transition from traditional manual manufacturing to automated production. The goal was to minimize human intervention and optimize efficiency.

Key changes included product redesign to accommodate more automation, such as incorporating Surface Mount Technology (SMT) over through-hole components. This shift paved the way for a more streamlined and efficient production process.

Makkal's Contribution:

Makkal played a pivotal role in this transformation by providing cutting-edge automation software solutions. Our team introduced a structured software framework for automated testing, enabling the client to develop and scale test sequences seamlessly in the future.

We also recommended the use of off-the-shelf components, such as those offered by industry leaders like National Instruments and Ganter Instruments. This approach significantly reduced development time and costs, as these components are engineered and well-tested for various testing applications.

Our approach emphasizes simplicity and adaptability. We introduced a standard software framework that is user-friendly and easily learnable, ensuring that engineers can quickly adopt it. This framework not only streamlines current processes but also provides a solid foundation for future scalability.

Additionally, we provided comprehensive training to empower engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to utilize the framework effectively. This includes handling new projects, mitigating risks, and ensuring a smooth transition to the automated manufacturing environment
