Technological modernization for competitive production of "Elna" Ltd.

ELNA Ltd. produces high-frequency generators for induction heating, which also represent the products with the highest market share. Their main application is to be embedded into machines for sealing tubes for cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. This project is aimed at improving the production process in several aspects: High frequency generator consists of two main modules: a high-frequency generator - an electronic device that generates high frequency that is emitted and a high frequency emitter - an inductor, which is made of specific materials, difficult to process, requiring great precision of the assembly. At present the company subcontracts a significant majority of manufacturing operations for inductors to external companies who make an average of 8 pcs. of details for one inductor. Their production is time consuming and often gets inaccuracies that result in default details, inability to fulfill orders on time, late quality control and in general - financial and market loss for the company and directly limits the overall production capacity. On the other hand, the production of generators and inductors is particularly specific and varied. Inductors may be a myriad of forms, depending on the form of the package sealed. Currently, the company has a production limit regarding the forms of the iductor and thus can not meet the requirements of the market. To overcome these identified challenges ELNA Ltd. requires the purchase and introduce in the production process 1 pc. five-axis machining center, that can technically and technologically produce any kind of different inductor forms, eliminate the subcontracting of technological operations to external companies, concentrate the quality control inside the production, thereby to increase the production capacity, increase the range of the products, optimize production costs and increase the export revenue.
