Empowering Electronics Industry Upgrade in SE Asia
Client Profile:
Mr. Cao operates a factory in Thailand specializing in supporting services for the electronics industry, producing high-precision internal identification labels, and external nameplates for products like hard drives, motherboards, and consumer electronics. Previously, such labels relied on imports from China or local traditional screen printing, suffering from long lead times, high MOQs, and difficulties adapting to frequent customer design changes.

EPSON Ultra-Precise Printing for Micro-Text: Addressing the common need for extremely fine fonts, miniature barcodes, and complex circuit diagrams on electronic labels, the EPSON Micro Piezo inkjet technology reproduces them with high clarity and consistency. It can stably print fonts as small as 1.5pt, far exceeding customer specifications and ensuring product traceability and accurate installation guidance.
-
Die-less Precision Cutting for Diverse Shapes: Electronic component labels come in various shapes (irregular, rounded, with cut-outs). The system's physical die-cutting system requires no physical dies, enabling quick and precise cutting of different label shapes via software settings. This perfectly suits low-volume, high-mix production and achieves agile supply synchronized with customer NPI (New Product Introduction).
-
Professional Material Handling: The system reliably processes various specialty label materials used in the electronics industry, including matte PET, heat-resistant Polyimide (PI) films, etc., while preserving material properties during printing and cutting.
-
ZEP International Technical Support: ZEP provided cross-border support from China to Thailand, including remote installation guidance, online training, and ongoing process consultation, overcoming geographical distance to ensure rapid commissioning and optimal operation overseas.
Results:
-
Achieved Local JIT Supply: Reduced label supply lead time from 2-4 weeks (for imports from China) to within 48 hours, significantly enhancing customer supply chain resilience.
-
Overcame Low-Volume Production Hurdles: Successfully secured numerous orders for engineering samples and repair part labels that were previously rejected or too costly due to small quantities, opening up a new profitable market segment.
-
Earned Recognition from Multinationals: With outstanding precision, consistency, and agility, the factory has passed supplier audits for several international electronics manufacturers, becoming their approved local label supplier.
-
Significant ROI: The investment in the equipment was recouped within 18 months through cost savings and newly developed business.
Conclusion:
The deployment of the SMART ZH-CW65 represents more than just an equipment installation; it is the successful localization in the Southeast Asian market of CAPAMA's industrial reliability, EPSON's micro-precision, and ZEP's cross-border service capability. It has empowered Mr. Cao's factory to upgrade from a simple processing point to an indispensable "Precision Identification Solution Hub" within the regional electronics supply chain, capitalizing on new opportunities brought by industry relocation.
