CASE STUDIES

Hyginett Kft., the manufacturer of the American company Procter & Gamble (P&G) - known for its hygiene products - in Csömör, Hungary, deals among other things with the packaging of the popular Oral-B hygiene products.
When the company had difficulties with the aesthetic packaging of its oral shower heads, they turned to us with a specific technical problem. As a registered supplier to Hyginett, it took us years to earn their trust, and we were happy to take on this unique challenge.

The aim of the project was the overhaul of a packaging machine
During the project negotiations, problems with the machine soon came to light.
The ED17 oral hygiene packaging machine was not working efficiently enough prior to the repair and was causing a number of aesthetic and quality problems. Hyginett strives to package products in a way that reflects their quality and maintains a positive image of the P&G brand among customers.
With our help, only three months passed between the tender and the fulfillment of expectations.

What was the biggest challenge in this project?
There were only challenges in this project. The expectations were high: complex manufacturing, design and programming tasks had to be completed efficiently and on time with the expected quality.
The company's former partners refused to take on the task, but we tackled it with confidence and were successful.

Experiences from project implementation
At the beginning of the assignment, applicants were given a personal demonstration of how the machine works and which parts and functions to be repaired. Throughout the process, we successfully completed the complex manufacturing, design and programming tasks and fully met all expectations.
The three-month intensive work caused temporary operational overload, but we can be proud of the result. This project was not just a repair, but a complete redesign.
The clients were satisfied with the result and we received positive feedback from them: “It was an excellent job!”

The result of the project was positive for both parties
The refurbished packaging machine now seals the packaging material more beautifully, resulting in more aesthetic products on the shelves of stores. The implementation of the project has opened up beneficial new collaboration opportunities for both companies.

Based on our experience, we can confidently state that we can successfully overcome any challenge. The positive feedback from this satisfied client has brought us new networking opportunities and will allow us to include more projects in our professional portfolio. For our company, this project was a true success story.

Bosch is a world-renown company and is one of the leaders in its own market. That is why we felt especially honored to be approached about a joint project. The goal of the project required collaboration on a quality control machine.
During the discussions, it quickly became clear that this was going to be a long-term project – in the end, it took a total of 8 months from request for quotation to delivery.

The project goal was to produce a special purpose machine
Bosch asked us to design and build an automatic device for product quality control in order to support the work processes, because until now the product quality control has been carried out partly by manual labour.
The client essentially hoped that the project would simplify and speed up their own internal processes.

What was the biggest challenge of the project?
The key challenge we faced was that the whole process required more care and precision than ever before, because quality control requires the strictest accuracy.
We had to produce a machine where neither deadline slippage nor technical problems are allowed, because the equipment is used to check a critical component of electric cars, which is tested by random sampling at operating temperature.

Experience gained during the implementation of the project
The setting up of the design team was preceded by the designation of milestones. Since we are perfectionists in terms of quality, it was self-evident that we would strictly adhere to them.
The whole project was extremely stressful mentally, because we wanted to do everything possible to make a great first impression on Bosch, and our everyday production capacity was also highly utilised by production and assembly. Still, we delivered all the milestones accurately, on time.

The project outcomes were positive for both parties
Bosch leadership was satisfied with our work in all areas, because the quality control machine worked exactly as the customer had imagined, having been manufactured in accordance with the original expectations.
The one-off project has become a long-lasting cooperation, and we are happy to contribute to the development of the domestic industry.

We always welcome the opportunities where our work is directly or indirectly beneficial to wider society.
When Samyang Biopharm Hungary Ltd. first contacted us, all we knew about our future business partner was that the company excels in the production of medical technology products, and we would be involved in the safety compliance of various devices.

The project goal was producing custom covers
The task sounded simple, but after learning the details, it actually turned out to be a complex project: we were requested to provide assessment and production of safety cover for machines, combined with on-site installation.
We believed that this would be an excellent opportunity to increase market potential, to further develop our know-how.
It is important to know that according to the regulations, machines arriving from abroad can only be used in Hungary if they are covered in line with European and Hungarian safety standards. Therefore, we had to manufacture safety covers for our client's medical machines that comply with occupational safety and health regulations.

What was the biggest challenge of the project?
We had the expertise, the specialists, the suitable machines at hand, but we knew from first-hand experience that there is always a potential error in the on-site survey.
To avoid this from happening, we started the development of the project by sending a mechanical designer to the site, who has the necessary skills and competencies to oversee the operational risks and parameters, so that we can prevent operational problems that occur during installation.
There were no other challenges during the project's set-up – we fulfilled our commitments in a month’s time.

Experience gained during the implementation of the project
It takes a high degree of foresight and precision to carry out such an on-site survey, to transfer information, so that the design and production are as smooth as possible.
The survey was followed by the design, manufacture, and installation of protective covers for the cleanroom equipment. The safety covers were manufactured in line with the expected functions, delivered to the site, and installed on the machines.

The project outcomes were positive for both parties
The customer feedback was clear: their satisfaction with our work formed a long-lasting business partnership. Since then, we have broadened the spectrum by manufacturing several other machine parts used for maintenance.

We have been working with the Hungarian division of Xellia Pharmaceutical Chemical Company for a long time.

The laboratory problem
This unique specialty requires a high degree of laboratory preparedness. So far, microbiome breeding techniques have only been partially mechanized. Non-automated work has left over a lot of scrap, reducing efficiency in both production time and raw material use.
In Xellia’s case, we aimed at piercing the culture medium placed in the Petri dishes in the shortest possible time and with the least amount of scrap in the laboratory.
It was needed for their own research to speed up the time lab analysts dedicate to research while preparing experiments.

The innovative task
Our task was to design a laboratory culture medium punching device that had never been produced before.
For us, the greatest advantage obtained from this work in addition to developments in pharmaceutical manufacturing that we also managed to strengthen our position in the competitive laboratory equipment production market.

The innovation process took less than half a year
After the exact identification of customer needs, the design, preparation, testing and commissioning of the device took only 5 months.
This is an achievement in itself, given the several months of preparation procedures common in similar industries.
The project was a drain on our resources, but it was worth it. Besides, we also gained a lot of experience in the process, as theory never evolves to a fact.

The product: culture medium punching equipment
In this regard we pride ourselves on producing a machine of which there is only one in the entire world!
Yet another proof of our ability to handle tasks that require creative engineering and precision manufacturing work.
The outcomes predict our continued success
The best measure of our customer's satisfaction is that our work in Budapest resulted in a new order for an additional equipment by the US-based subsidiary of the company.

Summary
We sincerely hope that this our special purpose machine will help speed up the work of our customers. It is uplifting and an exciting professional challenge to be part of this process.
