Partnering For Regional Manufacturing Support

August 14, 2024

Overview After experiencing multiple lockdowns and restrictions globally during the pandemic Adapt Ideations saw a clear answer to overcoming challenges such as manufacturing delays or orders requiring a quick turnaround. This led the company to identify regional manufacturing support that could be utilized to meet these necessary requirements. Adapt Ideations turned to Circuitwise , a local Australian manufacturing company to diversify our manufacturing. Problem A significant takeaway from the global pandemic highlighted the need for regional manufacturing support due to prior reliance on international manufacturers. Not only were periodic delays experienced, but turnaround times between product testing and challenges with global logistics to our regional hubs were felt throughout the pandemic. This led Adapt Ideations to seek regional manufacturing support in order to combat future challenges experienced from solely relying on overseas based suppliers for manufacturing our products. Regional support can also be utilized for smaller orders or when a quick turnaround is essential for orders placed. In most cases our clients have a significant number of devices in circulation at any point of time. An important aspect of the devices in circulation is managing them effectively particularly over a number of different sites. In order to achieve this, Adapt Ideations provides customers the ability to use mass charging boards in which a number of devices can be charged at the same time without individually having to connect each device to a USB cable and subsequently into a power socket to charge. Solution In a company first, Adapt Ideations partnered with Circuitwise , a local Australian manufacturing company to meet the requirements of an order for mass chargers that needed to be fast tracked. With Adapt Ideations largely working with clients who handle cold chain products that are often highly regulated, partnering with a supplier who maintains a high level of reliability & safety standards and has demonstrated experience working with similar industries is paramount to ensure consistent high standards are maintained. The benefits of partnering with a regional manufacturing supplier can be measured on a number of metrics such as experiencing a quicker turnaround to better meet the needs of our clients when required, eliminating the need for globally importing products and cost savings associated with smaller orders placed. Future After the first successful project working alongside Circuitwise, Adapt Ideations hopes to expand the partnership and work with Circuitwise on a number of future projects. Their commitment to high quality standards and collaborative approach has been fundamental in supporting us throughout our first project with Circuitwise. “Increasing supply chain resilience post pandemic has been a significant focus area for Adapt Ideations. Our collaboration with Circuitwise provides a strategic assurance to our ANZ supply network while supporting the drive to promote manufacturing in Australia. We look forward to more exciting projects in the coming days.” - Anirban Gupta Co-Founder and Director, Adapt Ideations Circuitwise CEO Serena Ross said she was pleased to see another company realize the benefits of manufacturing in Australia, particularly for small to medium-sized production runs. “There are many good reasons for manufacturing in Australia ,” Serena said, “including speed and reliability, responsiveness, ease of communication, reduced tariffs and intellectual property protection.”
