Accelerating LIB Separator Air Permeability Measurement | Improving Quality Control Efficiency Through Coordination Across Oken-Type Air Permeability Testers × China Bases・Overseas Distributors

For customers whose LIB separator film air permeability measurement was bottlenecking line capacity, we proposed the Oken-type air permeability tester. Through coordination between our Shanghai base and overseas distributors, we provided everything from equipment installation to local maintenance and calibration on a one-stop basis, significantly improving quality control efficiency. The "Air Permeability Measurement Bottleneck" Issue Occurring at LIB Separator Production Sites Regarding LIB separator film air permeability measurement, there is a desire to simultaneously improve measurement speed and accuracy. In existing lines, quality control is a bottleneck.With existing testing machines, the measurement time is long, making total lot control difficult.●Contexts of Manifestation: Existing product improvement phase. Sophistication of quality control at China production bases.●Main Impacts: Line capacity reduction, increased inspection costs, impacts on lead times and supply stability. Why Measurement Speed Fails to Increase: Processing Speed of Existing Testing Machines and Inspection Demands at the Site Processing constraints (processing speed of existing testing machines).●Specific Rationale: Evaluation and comparison of existing testing equipment. Countermeasures Attempted Thus Far and Their Limitations Increasing the frequency of sampling inspections (occurrence of oversights), reducing line speed (deterioration of productivity).Based on these limitations, the following approach was adopted as a more drastic solution.

Adoption of Chinese-made PI Tape for Heat-Resistant Process Film | Cost Optimization via Just-Spec Specifications

While domestic high-spec PI tapes offer more than adequate performance, they are often over-engineered for specific applications. By selecting a "just-spec" grade from a Chinese manufacturer that perfectly matches the application's needs, and verifying its quality through our Shanghai base, we achieved both cost reduction and quality maintenance. Deterioration of the Cost-of-Sales Ratio for Heat-Resistant Process PI Tapes and the Necessity of "Just-Spec" Optimization Cost reduction is required for PI tapes used in heat-resistant processes. However, since high-spec options are excessive for this application, the goal is to select an appropriate grade.Previously, domestic high-spec PI tape was adopted, but it was over-engineered for the specific application.●Context of emergence: Cost improvement phase.●Primary impacts: Deterioration of the cost-of-sales ratio, decline in price competitiveness. Why High-Spec Products are Excessive: The Gap Between Actual Application Requirements and Specifications Continued adoption of high-spec products serves as a cost-up factor. For actual applications, an acceptable/usable level is more than sufficient.●Specific evidence: Physical property comparison of existing materials and processing tests. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Price reduction negotiations for domestic high-spec products (reached limits), and substitution with alternative films (insufficient heat resistance).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more drastic/fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Application-Specific Grade Design × New Chinese Supplier Development × Quality Verification via Shanghai Base Through the development of new foreign suppliers + collaboration with overseas bases, we adopted PI tape with cost suitability that perfectly matches the application. STEP. 01 Supplier Development Evaluating multiple Chinese-made PI tapes STEP. 02 Downgrading Proposals Setting necessary and sufficient specifications for the application STEP. 03 Local Collaboration Quality verification and local procurement via Shanghai Base Fujichemi Trading's Supply System: Head Office × Shanghai Base This solution is achieved through the division of roles across multiple bases.・ Head Office / Domestic Sales: Customer window and cost proposals・ Shanghai Base: Local manufacturer coordination and quality verification●Supply System: Stable supply of overseas procured products. Results of Implementation Achieved cost reduction. Specifications maintained at an acceptable/usable level while preserving quality.●KPI Candidates: Cost reduction / Maintaining zero quality complaints / Diversification of procurement routes.●Implementation Lead Time: Repeating prototyping and evaluation to switch to mass production. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Deployment The effects of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary issue. Please utilize this as material for internal and management-level proposals.・Applying the same "application-specific grade design" to films for other processes (PET, PEN, PPS)・Modeling the "optimized selection proposal" in the electric wire and electronic component sectors・Breaking out of sales commoditization through switching proposals from "high-spec to just-spec"・Creating a case study of being adopted in the customer's internal cost reduction projects Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Domestic specialized trading companies tend to offer only a single high-spec proposal. Fuji Chemi supports breaking away from excessive specifications through "application-specific grade design" and "quality verification at the Chinese base." Product Information and Specification Overview The main specifications of the products with a proven track record of adoption can be selected from multiple grades depending on the application and requirement conditions.

Since we select the necessary and sufficient performance after organizing the practical application requirements, we can minimize the risk of reducing excessive specifications. Can this be applied to films for other processes as well? The "application-specific grade design" can also be applied to other films such as PET, PEN, and PPS. Is the quality variation of Chinese products acceptable? We supply products after ensuring quality verification and traceability at our Shanghai Base. Can other suppliers be considered as candidates from a BCP perspective? We also accept consultations regarding combined use with domestic products and multi-sourcing. Is there a selection guide categorized by application? We can provide an application-specific grade selection matrix.

Local Procurement of ESD Solutions for OA Equipment in Vietnam | Selecting Static Elimination Brushes and Conductive Fibers Aligned with OEM Design Philosophy

To suppress defects caused by static electricity in the assembly process of OA equipment, selecting static elimination materials tailored to the design philosophy of each individual model is indispensable. Through collaboration between our Vietnam base and cooperative manufacturers, we evaluate and supply model-specific static elimination brushes, conductive fibers, and conductive adhesive tapes locally. This enables customers to break away from import dependency and realize a stable supply. The "Procurement Challenges of Static Elimination Components" Manifesting in the Overseas Localization of OA Equipment We want to localize the procurement of static elimination components for OA equipment in Vietnam. However, because the design philosophy differs for each model, off-the-shelf general-purpose products do not fit.It was necessary to select static elimination components tailored to the specific design philosophy of each manufacturer.● When the issue manifests: Overseas expansion and local procurement phases.● Main impacts: Risk of stockouts due to imports, inability to secure design-compliant products locally, and countermeasures against defects in the assembly process. Why Off-the-Shelf General-Purpose Products Do Not Fit: Differences in Design Philosophy for Each Model Prolonged lead times caused by procurement and supply chain factors. Specifications for static elimination components are highly fragmented by specific models.●Basis for Identification: Customer hearings and prototype evaluations. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Diverting local general-purpose brushes (insufficient static elimination performance), continuing to order Japanese products (lead times exceeded).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more radical and fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Design Philosophy Interviews × Local Prototype Evaluation × Model-Specific SKU Management In coordination with our overseas bases and cooperative manufacturers, we select static elimination brushes and conductive fibers tailored to design specifications, and conduct on-site sample evaluations. STEP. 01 Custom Specification Capability Organizing static elimination requirements for each model to select the optimal fiber type, density, and tuft length. STEP. 02 Prototyping & Evaluation Conducting on-site evaluations tailored to the assembly line. STEP. 03 Local Inventory Management Storing required quantities to ensure short lead-time supply. Fujichemi Trading’s Supply Network: Vietnam Base × Cooperative Manufacturers This solution is driven by a clear division of roles across multiple bases.・Vietnam Base: Customer Window & On-site Evaluation・Partner Manufacturers: Design & Mass Production of Static Elimination Components●Supply Network: Model-specific SKU management and on-site local delivery. Results of Implementation Improved delivery times and supply stability. Breaking away from import dependency.●KPI Candidates: Reduction in inventory days / Decreased risk of production line stoppages / Optimization of procurement costs.●Implementation Lead Time: Shortened timeframe from prototyping to mass production by focusing heavily on local execution. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion The benefits of implementing this solution extend far beyond solving the primary issue. Please utilize this information as compelling material for internal proposals and presentations to executive management.・Expansion to other ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) mitigation components (wrist straps, mats, packings/gaskets)・Cross-selling with peripheral equipment such as static elimination devices and ionizers・Commercializing our consulting capability to "tailor solutions to each manufacturer's design philosophy"・Spillover effects into industries beyond OA, including FA (Factory Automation), semiconductors, and medical devices The Competitive Edge: Why Customers Choose Fujichemi Trading General-purpose product trading companies struggle with individualized responses tailored to specific design philosophies.
