How Keystone Cable wired up to keep its products ‘Made in Singapore’
For the electrical cable maker, transformation begins with understanding itself
[SINGAPORE] After decades of supplying electrical cables, Keystone Cable took the chance to wire up its own operations – for a data-driven factory floor – when it moved to a larger site.
Founded in 1990, the cable manufacturer found itself outgrowing its premises by the mid-2010s.
“Space was limited, and machines were placed wherever there was room, with little regard for process flow,” recalled Derek Zhu, one of Keystone’s three directors who oversees operations and finance.
