Project Overview
A world leading Japanese group with over 140+ years’ experience to provide high quality consumer goods in cosmetic, brightening & anti-aging skincare, suncare, haircare and fragrance is now encountering the difficulties on labelling large amount of its brand products in various product lines. Million Tech understands which the best solutions are to solve the difficulties, offers its Intelligent Robotics Labelling System (IRLS) to the group, and sends professionals to help the group measuring the existing situation.
Client Sector

Product/ Solution
Intelligent Robotics Labelling System (IRLS)
Location
Hong Kong
Challenge
For the existing situation of Hong Kong’s market, the group is required to label over 15,000 products per day to comply with the local ordinances – all imported goods are required to label their ingredient’s detail. Therefore, the group has to employ over 10 workers for handling this huge task on daily basis. Nevertheless, the high labour cost (i.e. Hong Kong Minimum Wage) and keen competition in labour market are keep placing the pressure to HR department. Besides, the group needs to rent a large area of workplace which is specially for workers to complete the labelling process.
Solution
In order to save the group’s operational cost in labelling products and improve productivity, Million Tech’s IRLS which is a one-stop Artificial Intelligence (AI) Labelling Solutions with Robot provides: (1.) a set of high speed 4-axis robotic arm, (2.) Direct thermal transfer printer, (3.) Intelligent robotics control software, (4.) Object recognition system, and (5.) Label design system to its warehouse office. Regarding to the pricing strategy, Million Tech simplifies it by offering a rental scheme to the group which assists them in releasing financial pressures.
Result/ Feedback
After adopting Million Tech’s IRLS, it helps the group on saving labour cost of 5 skilled worker’s monthly salaries by each unit of IRLS, and boosting the productivity by 3 unskilled workers to replace 10 skilled workers. Better still, IRLS could apply labels according to the product packing’s shape such as round, box, cylinder, tube, inflatable, etc. It applies the robotic labelling system to avoid human error, and enhance the productivity 4 times than before. By choosing Million Tech as partner, the group can leverage Million Tech’s over 30+ years’ experience in labelling solutions and enjoy the outstanding benefits from IRLS.
標籤印刷及粘貼解決方案 –透過人工智能貼標系統 (IRLS)提高生產力及節省成本
項目概要
世界領先的日本著名護膚品牌集團擁有超過140多年的經驗，專門提供高品質的化妝品，護膚品，防曬用品，護髮產品及香水等。集團為本港市場提供大量消費品，而這些消費品在推出市場前需要貼上特定的標籤。因此，該集團每天大量標記成千上萬不同種類的產品。萬碧發展了解到客戶的需要，為集團提供專業人員評估現時情況，並建議集團採用人工智能貼標系統 (IRLS)。
客戶領域：
零售業，化妝品，護膚品，防曬用品，護髮產品及香水
產品：
人工智能貼標系統
地點：
香港
挑戰
對於香港市場的現狀，該集團每天需要為產品貼上超過15,000種產品，以符合本港法例 – 所有進口商品都需要標明其原料的詳細信息。因此，該集團每天必須僱用超過10多名工人來處理這項龐大的任務。然而，高勞動力成本（即香港最低工資）和勞動力市場的激烈競爭為該集團的人力資源部門帶來壓力。另外，該集團更需要租用大面積的工作場所，專門為工人完成貼標籤過程。
解決方案
為了節省集團在產品標籤方面的運營成本及提高生產力，萬碧發展的一站式人工智能（AI）貼標系統提供：（1）一套高速四軸機械臂、（2）直熱式/熱轉印打印機、（3）智能操控屏幕、（4）物體識別系統、（5）內置標籤設計系統，有預設格式，方便用家直接從試算表導入數據。在定價策略方面，萬碧發展通過向集團提供租賃計劃來簡化它，從而幫助客戶減輕財務壓力。
結果/反饋
採用萬碧發展的人工智能貼標系統後，成功為該集團節省了最少5名貼標技術工人月的工資，同時提升了現有生產力，以3名非技術工人取代10名技術工人。此外，人工智能貼標系統可以根據不同的產品包裝形狀而作出相應的粘貼程序，例如圓形、四方形、圓柱形、充氣包裝等；不但可以避免人為錯誤，更可以提高生產力達4倍，萬碧發展以自身超過30多年的標籤解決方案經驗，為集團提高經濟效益。
