MICRO-MECHANICS (Holdings) is striving to turn its plants into smart factories, even as it continues to invest in research and development (R&D) to maintain an edge over its competitors.
"Throughout our five factories, we have initiatives under way to build a smart factory," chief executive officer Chris Borch told The Business Times, adding that it envisions boosting production without beefing up headcount in tandem.
One project currently under way involves installing radio frequency sensors in the tools used in its equipment, which lightens the workload for its employees while allowing for processes to be monitored and controlled in real-time.
