[Case Study] Significantly Improving the Efficiency of Product Taping and Labeling Processes with Yaesu Tape and label Dispensers!

Industrial tapes are used across various industries for tasks such as temporary fastening and shipping of products and parts. Did you know that performing the entire process of cutting and applying tape manually actually results in significant work time and material loss? In this article, we will introduce a case study of a Japanese-affiliated EMS factory in Thailand that successfully improved work efficiency by implementing tape and label dispensers.
Something That Seemed Like It Should Have Existed but Didn't!
A Revolutionary Dispenser That Automatically Folds the Tape Edge
The factory has been using numerous Tape dispenser from YAESU for about five years. Two types of tape dispensers ("ZCUT-9GR" and "ZCUT-10") and label dispensers are mainly used according to the type of work.
■ Tape Dispenser with Tape Edge Folding Function "ZCUT-10" 
Tape dispensers with an automatic tape edge folding function have been installed in the process of temporarily fastening products. In the past, the edge of the tape was folded manually, leading to material loss and increased complexity when tape cutting or folding failed. These dispensers not only automatically fold the tape edge but also have sequential cutting function that allows the tape cutting cycle to be set, reducing operational errors such as forgetting to apply the tape.
▲ Tape dispenser being used for temporarily fastening of products before shipment
▲ "Sequential Cutting Function" that cuts up to 6 different lengths in sequence
■ Label Dispenser "LDX-60/120"
Designed to save space and energy, it can count dispensed labels and offers 6-stage variable speed control for label feeding. It also automatically winds the label backing paper and allows for easy replacement.
In tasks involving manually peeling sheet labels from their backing and applying them to products, both hands are usually needed. However, using a label dispenser enables single-handed operation. While seemingly minor, these time savings accumulate significantly, enhancing production efficiency. Moreover, adopting dispensers at the factory has transitioned labels from sheet to roll form, reducing unit costs and resulting in overall cost savings.
▲ Using the tape dispenser for precise tape application tasks
Achieved a 30% Reduction in Labor Cost Through Simplification of Work Processes!
At the factory, the utilization of tape and label dispensers has led to the following improvements:
・Reduced labor costs through process simplification
Approximately 30% reduction in the number of personnel required in the work process
・Reduced work time due to improved work efficiency
Prevention of application errors through the tape's sequential feeding function, enhancing speed and accuracy
・Saves material costs by reducing tape loss.
Successfully minimized material loss by reducing operational errors during tape cutting

Users who have implemented these systems assert that while tasks like tape cutting and application may seem trivial, their cumulative impact significantly improves production efficiency. Furthermore, these users report very high repeat usage rates, with most acknowledging the convenience and opting not to return to manual operation.
Providing Full After-Sales Service in Thailand, Including Maintenance and Cleaning
Thai Hibex provides full after-sales service for Yaesu tape dispensers and label dispensers. The company maintains a large inventory of consumables and replacement parts, and responds quickly to repairs, periodic cleaning, and maintenance.
Furthermore, in addition to sales of catalog products, the company can also customize products according to the material and characteristics of the tape and labels used by the user. Another strength of Thai Hibex is its ability to propose optimal dispensers to customers based on careful information gathering on tape materials, applications, and on-site issues.
