Efficient Production

Continual improvement of manufacturing processes

Product Production Automation

Yoke adheres to a “people-centered” automation transformation strategy, which does not simply replace human labor with machinery, but focuses on “improving efficiency, safety, and quality” as its core principle. Through the introduction of automated equipment, employees are kept away from high-heat and high-risk areas and redirected toward higher value-added work, such as equipment monitoring, anomaly troubleshooting, and data analysis. This enhances employees’ technical and analytical capabilities while establishing knowledge management documentation to accumulate and internalize technical knowledge, driving production toward intelligent development and ensuring stable operation and quality improvement.

As of the end of 2024, Yoke’s introduction of automated equipment encompasses programmable robotic arms, digital CCD vision recognition systems, and integrated process monitoring technology. This equipment has been widely applied to major production lines, driving significant capacity enhancement and creating an intelligent automated factory.

At the end of 2024, to accelerate automation, programmable robotic arms were introduced, and the Company began cultivating the technical capabilities of its internal engineering team for autonomous maintenance and program development to facilitate efficient monitoring and continuous optimization of production processes while reducing dependence on external maintenance support.

 

Total Improvement Suggestions

Yoke has established an all-employee proposal system to cultivate the ability to proactively identify problems and make suggestions. Employees from direct units submit improvement proposals, which are reviewed by a review committee that selects the top 3 outstanding cases each month for recognition and awards at the company morning meeting.

This system was introduced in 2021, with each of the 11 units initially selecting 1 outstanding case internally each month for review. However, when units had many high-quality proposals, some inevitably went unrecognized. Starting in 2024, to encourage employee innovation, the award scope was expanded so that all proposals from units are submitted for review. Additionally, review comments are now explained to proposing employees to demonstrate the company’s dedication to the opinions of its employees. All employees whose proposals are selected are recognized by name at the company morning meeting, and representatives of outstanding cases are invited to share their proposals.

In 2024, direct employees submitted a total of 2,232 proposals across 8 categories, with a cumulative 95 proposals participating in the review committee’s PDCA cycle improvement process and implementation. The total benefits of proposals reached NT$3.254 million, with an average of 1 proposal per person per month.

In response to global net-zero trends and Yoke’s carbon reduction strategy, all proposal improvement results must be converted to carbon emissions based on saved machine hours or material weight. In 2024, 18 proposals had carbon reduction benefits, totaling 81.39 tons CO2e/year.
