The Fortune 500 company is enhancing its operational visibility and reducing the potential for human error through digital transformation with Zebra Technologies.
Sanmina Corporation, a Fortune 500 company, has implemented Zebra Technologies’ touch computers and industrial printers at select manufacturing plants to support its quality and manufacturing processes. Its Malaysia manufacturing facilities are benefiting from its digital transformation initiatives.
NASDAQ-listed Sanmina is a leading integrated manufacturing solutions across various sectors, including industrial, medical, defense, aerospace, automotive, communications, and cloud infrastructure specializing in high reliability, mission-critical applications — including the fastest-growing segments of the global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market.
Sanmina uses 42Q’s (a Zebra PartnerConnect ISV Partner) cloud-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and track and trace technology. Zebra’s TC21 touch computers and ZT610 industrial printers easily integrate with 42Q to enhance operational visibility and reduce human error.
42Q, a Sanmina division, delivers a full-featured, cloud-based MES solution developed by manufacturers for manufacturers, and is a proven way to simplify and accelerate digital factory transformation. The solution can be deployed in a few weeks, significantly reducing risk and disruption. 42Q provides full product traceability, route enforcement, cycle time, asset performance, defect and repair loop, electronic work instructions, serialization, and more. 42Q’s architecture is accessible, reliable, scalable, and secure.
“Track and trace solutions are integral for capturing data throughout the product lifecycle,” said Marco Gonzalez, Chief Operations Officer, Sanmina Corporation. “For manufacturers, enhancing transparency and productivity is essential. Technology is key to these goals. Our decision to select Zebra was straightforward. Zebra’s compatibility with 42Q minimized disruption to production, and Zebra’s rugged industrial products are designed to handle the rigors of high use in our manufacturing environment.”
The TC21 computers are used to scan barcodes on component reels for PCB manufacturing on automated lines, while ZT610 printers are used to print labels for sub-assemblies and final packaging.
“We are delighted to assist Sanmina in optimizing their manufacturing processes,” said Christanto Suryadarma, Sales Vice President for Southeast Asia (SEA), South Korea and Channel APJeC, Zebra Technologies. “Our solutions empower manufacturers to gain operational clarity and precision by transforming data into actionable insights.”
