Consumer Electronics

Problem: JLK provides various forms of support to one of the world’s largest consumer electronics firms, which range from custom automation solutions to actual component production. This partner had just developed a new haptics technology that would be introduced in all subsequent generations of its devices, but lacked a unified test system for quality assurance purposes.

Solution: JLK took on the project and began by designing the test protocol and standards, then developing and producing the test equipment. Technical challenges centred on the test equipment, which had to be automated, adaptable to devices of different sizes, and precise enough to measure vibrational haptic feedback lasting just milliseconds. The test equipment also had to be adaptable to the maturing haptics technology.

Outcome: JLK’s solution was integrated into its partner’s production workflow, and has been responsible for the quality control of millions of its devices. The test system remains in use today, and JLK has integrated its learnings into other test systems beyond just haptics.

MedTech

Problem: A Singapore-based startup had developed a minimum viable product (MVP) for an upper limb rehabilitation device. However, it lacked the expertise in hardware development, which prevented it from scaling up production. This, in turn, kept the startup from raising additional funds.

Solution: JLK joined the startup as a CDMO to serve as a one-stop solution for all its production requirements. Beginning with design for manufacture and value engineering services, JLK refined the MVP into a version suitable for mass production, then handled actual manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and also supported the startup’s NMPA and ISO certifications. 

Outcome: From a single prototype, JLK helped to develop a complete product, then support the startup’s commercialisation efforts with just-in-time manufacturing. The startup has since expanded into the EU, China, and Australia, and proceeded with an additional round of fundraising.

Automotive

Problem: JLK was engaged by one of the world’s largest drivetrain/chassis suppliers to produce a supercharger component, with a target yield of 98.5%. Unfortunately, the partner had not accounted for a critical datum that was required for precision machining, which made the target yield impossible to achieve.

Solution: Although technical details could not be altered due to cost and timeline constraints, JLK worked around the problem by using machine vision to improve precision during component machining and finishing. Production yield did not average 98.5% over the component’s production lifetime, but hovered between 98.2% and 98.7%. JLK’s partner recognised this as a satisfactory compromise given the production’s technical constraints. 

Outcome: During the development for the second generation of the supercharger, JLK was brought on board as a partner, and provided design for manufacturing services. This improved the actual yield for subsequent iterations of the component, while also saving production costs and complexity.
