Awards

Clarksville, US - Lighthouse award in Productivity

Jan 2023

A home-appliance plant set up to serve a high-cost-labour market struggled in its first two years with labour-supply risk and patchy production know-how. The site responded by applying deep learning, automation and digital tools across design, injection moulding, assembly inspection and intralogistics. Plant-level sales rose 68% and net profit by an order of magnitude as productivity, quality and lead times improved.

Changwon, KR - Lighthouse award in Productivity

Mar 2022

The site faced a 70% growth in product portfolio complexity, rising premium-quality expectations and acute labour shortages. Although already a top-quartile home-appliance plant, it was redesigned as a digital lighthouse using flexible automation, digital performance management and artificial intelligence — lifting productivity by 17% and field quality by 70% while cutting inventory by 25% and energy consumption by 30%.
