Sunningdale Tech Ltd is one of the world's largest manufacturers of precision plastic components and parts, offering turnkey plastic solutions from product and mold design, mold production, injection molding, surface processing, to final precision product assembly. The company has the capability to produce 2,000 sets of molds annually, primarily focusing on four key areas: automotive/aerospace, consumer/information technology, healthcare, and mold manufacturing. Sunningdale Tech's subsidiaries are distributed globally, with its headquarters in Singapore and manufacturing facilities in China, the USA, Malaysia, Latvia, Mexico, India, Thailand, and Indonesia.

For enterprises engaged in large-scale manufacturing that wish to compete globally, the key to increasing productivity and reducing manufacturing costs lies in the adoption of digital and automated technologies. The collaboration with EMAN on a semi-automated electrode processing and inspection solution is a correct and inevitable choice for the internationally-minded Hongli Technology as it pursues sustained leadership and acknowledges market trends. EMAN's semi-automated intelligent processing solution will aid Hongli Technology in transforming traditional operations for electrode design, programming, CMM inspection programming, CNC electrode processing, EDM discharge processing, and CMM electrode inspection into intelligent processing management, enhancing both equipment and personnel efficiency.

CNC Processing:

The system enables automatic program downloading and optimization, supports processing programs for individual or multiple parts in series, or consolidates numbers for batch processing, reducing machine tool change times and driving automated bulk processing.

CMM Inspection:

The system allows batch automatic inspection, with the EMAN system automatically outputting inspection reports, determining parts tolerance compliance, and uploading inspection data to the system. It also provides intuitive 3D inspection reports at system terminals.

EDM Processing:

The system automatically generates electrode processing lists, accesses EDM condition libraries, combines electrode parameter information from design and CMM inspection offset data, and auto-generates and uploads processing programs to the machine. Staff then execute programs for discharge processing.

Strengthening Alliances, Aligning Goals, and Breaking New Ground

At the project launch meeting, Mr. Wei-Xing Zhang, General Manager of Hongli Technology, expressed confidence in EMAN and gave directives for project implementation. He stated, "Sunningdale Tech Ltd and EMAN have a solid foundation of cooperation, and we deeply trust EMAN's product capabilities. Before launching this automation project, we compared similar automated inspection systems on the market and ultimately chose EMAN, which further confirms our decision. We hope EMAN can validate this choice with its results."

Hongli Technology employees are urged to trust that once the system is live, it will help solve production issues and challenges, enhance overall processing efficiency, and alleviate workload pressure on site employees, better utilizing existing resources. However, achieving results requires action, not just faith. The first step is to change traditional thinking, continuously learn, and adapt. During project advancement, project team members from both sides should communicate and collaborate frequently, with colleagues maximally supporting and cooperating with project implementation.

With ongoing projects and expanding cooperation fields, the story between Singapore’s Sunningdale Tech Ltd and EMAN is far from over. EMAN will exert every effort to provide ongoing robust digital and intelligent technology and service support for Hongli Technology in its pursuit of high-quality, high-value products, eager for the project to smoothly go live and be accepted soon!
