Case Study: Scaling Production with 10 Sets of CCD Punching Machines for a German Manufacturer
🔹 Project Background: Growing Demand in Flexible Electronics
Our German client is a well-established manufacturer focusing on conductive films, membrane switches, and flexible printed circuits (FPC)—key components widely used in automotive electronics, industrial control panels, and smart devices.
In recent years, the demand for flexible electronic components has grown rapidly due to:
* Expansion of automotive electronics (HMI panels, sensors)
* Increasing adoption of membrane switches in control systems
* Rising demand for lightweight and flexible conductive materials
Membrane switches, for example, are widely used as reliable, low-profile interfaces in electronic systems, consisting of multiple precision layers including conductive circuits and PET films . This structure requires extremely accurate guide hole alignment to ensure proper layer stacking and functionality.

🔹 Customer Challenges
Before cooperation with Vility, the client faced critical production bottlenecks:
❌ Insufficient punching accuracy affecting multilayer alignment
❌ High labor dependency and inconsistent manual positioning
❌ Limited production capacity restricting order expansion
❌ Difficulty meeting tight delivery schedules in European market
Traditional punching and die-cutting processes were no longer sufficient as industry standards shifted toward higher precision and automation .
