Thailand presents limitations in terms of digital capability in comparison to other countries worldwide, and is ranked third among the ASEAN countries. With the fast development of technology and the rapid spread of COVID-19, these contributed to digital technology, including online platforms, being an essential part of our lives. YG-1 recognizes this importance, thus restructuring the organization in the business sector that focuses on increasing the value with digital technology to prevent lagging behind in the ongoing process of digital transformation. Since the change of the automated system in the factory, the establishment of Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) YG-1 has been progressed for stability in competitiveness by continuous performance.
In the midst of transformation towards EV and hybrid cars, several obstacles in the cutting tool industry were presented. However, YG-1 remains optimistic, recognizing that hybrid cars incorporate both combustion engines and electric motors, alleviating their concerns, combined with the continuous vision YG-1 has of driving the organization towards being the lead in machining tools to become the “total tooling solution provider”. This covers all ranges of the production line, including milling, drilling, turning, and threading, meeting the requirements in all aspects in the metal industry. It also covers additional industries, from automotive to aircraft, molding, and other electronic devices. Manufacturers of cutting tools encounter an additional challenge in the form of market competition posed by Chinese cutting tools, which enter the market with a pricing advantage. YG-1 strategically not only positioned themselves as the distributor, but also a specialist and consultant for the customers. This encompasses a team of engineers to test the products to ensure quality, price, and exceptional service from YG-1. Consequently, customers trust in potential of products from YG-1 and can compete effectively against other market competitors in terms of quality and pricing. We focus on innovation of novel products that the cutting tool market has never had; this presents a new market opening and the current market share is relatively modest.
In the present, customers not solely focus on the pricing, but also seek value in other aspects. This covers the service life of the machine, anticipated outcomes in terms of quality and quantity, and comprehensive consulting services including aftersales service. These factors contributed to the attractiveness of YG-1’s product offerings, positioning them as winners in terms of value in all dimensions. With continuous development, great and long-lasting support from the customers, YG-1 has become one step closer to being the “Total Tooling Solution Provider”.
The automotive industry is always presenting new challenges for the tool manufacturing industry. For example, advanced materials, such as carbon fiber reinforced composites, are machined in the production of today’s electric automobiles and difficult to machine, heat-resistant cast steel turbochargers are produced and assembled to smaller engines for greater power and reduced emissions. Both applications place increased demands for advanced cutting tool material, geometries, and coatings
Reliable Safety process, economy efficiency solution and maximum precision: Our E- Mobilities tooling concept is capable of machining all components to be machined in mainly aluminum alloys or carbon fiber reinforced composites. Not only stator housings, frames and battery tubs for electric cars, but also various electric drives and motor housings for e-bikes and can be produced by our specific tools. Latest product innovations with vibration-damped lightweight construction as well as high-definition diamond cutting geometries are combined and have been developed mainly for thin-walled transmission and e-mobility components.
