Machine Sourcing Within Budget

Case Study: Finding the Right WEDM Machine Within Budget

A client approached us for a new Wire EDM for mold manufacturing.  After analyzing their requirements and budget, we found the target price was below high-end equipment levels, but sufficient for a reliable standard machine, without Wire EDM automatic wire threading.

We provided three tailored solutions:

  • Option 1: Matched the target budget with upgraded configuration and performance.
  • Option 2: Below budget with standard requirements .
  • Option 3: Lower cost, with basic functionality.

The client ultimately chose Option 1, achieving the best balance between cost, capability, and long-term value.


Reflection: Building Trust Through Transparent Solutions

Why Budget Transparency Matters?

In machine sourcing, budget defines which suppliers to talk to, how to balance configuration vs. cost, and what level of risk or reliability the client can afford.
It’s not a limitation — it’s the starting point of smart sourcing.
we believe in showing clear, side-by-side options that reveal real value differences.
This transparent approach helps clients make informed decisions, strengthens trust, and proves our commitment to smart sourcing, not just selling.

Spare Parts Quality Issue

Case Study: Spare Parts Quality Issue

Background
A European client faced frequent machine failures due to poor-quality spare parts, despite having all the “qualified” certificates.

What We Did:

  • We compared multiple suppliers, communicated directly with engineers, and verified parts on site. It turned out the previous supplier’s components never met the real design requirements.

Result
We help client sourced genuine, compliant parts, restored stable performance, avoid major losses.


Key Point:

We not only purchase on behalf of customers, but also help customers find and solve problems and avoid risks from a professional perspective.

Metallizer Project

Case Study: Metallizer Project–Multi-Factory Sourcing in Progress

A client approached us for a Roll to Roll Metallizer, a wide width vacuum coating production line with specific technical requirements and a defined budget.
We coordinated with several manufacturers(from small private companies to listed companies) in the industry and conducted on-site visits to nearby suppliers to evaluate real production capabilities.

Based on the findings, we proposed three tailored solutions:

  • Option 1 & 2: Slightly above the target budget but well aligned with performance and reliability requirements.
  • Option 3: Significantly higher in cost, but offering advanced features and long-term stability.

Each option presents clear trade-offs between cost, configuration, and scalability.


Project status

The project is currently under evaluation, with ongoing discussions to ensure the client’s final decision delivers both technical and financial efficiency.

Project background – Evaporation Technology 

Evaporation coating is a vacuum deposition process where a material is heated until it vaporizes and then condenses onto a substrate to form a thin film. It provides high-purity, uniform coatings for optical, electronic, and decorative applications.
