Sanmina boosts manufacturing productivity in Malaysia with Zebra

Sanmina, a Fortune 500 company, has implemented Zebra Technologies’ touch computers and industrial printers at select manufacturing plants to support its quality and manufacturing processes.

Sanmina offers integrated manufacturing solutions across various sectors, including industrial, medical, defense, aerospace, automotive, communications, and cloud infrastructure specialising in high reliability, mission critical applications.

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.

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.

Marco Gonzalez, chief operations officer at Sanmina, said track and trace solutions are integral for capturing data throughout the product lifecycle.

“For manufacturers, enhancing transparency and productivity is essential,” said Gonzalez. “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.”
