Description

This project is the second equipment relocation case for the smart vertical storage system at Yih Cheng Factory Co., Ltd. Established in 1952 and located in the Nangang Industrial Park in Nantou City, Yih Cheng Factory Co., Ltd. is one of Asia’s large-scale manufacturers of screwdrivers and hand driving tools, with long-standing expertise in the hand tool manufacturing industry.

In 2022, Yih Cheng Factory Co., Ltd. partnered with Junyao Technology to introduce a smart vertical storage system, effectively improving material management efficiency and space utilization. In 2023, in response to a factory construction plan, the customer needed to relocate part of its equipment and warehouse operations to a leased facility. Junyao Technology assisted with the first dismantling, relocation, and recommissioning process, completing the entire operation in only 7 working days.

With the new factory completed in the second half of 2025, Yih Cheng Factory Co., Ltd. initiated a second equipment relocation. Based on the customer’s requirements for minimizing downtime and improving recommissioning efficiency, Junyao Technology arranged its original manufacturer engineering team to carry out dismantling, relocation, installation, and testing. The second equipment relocation was completed in less than one week. Through its in-house R&D capabilities, modular equipment design, and comprehensive engineering services, Junyao Technology helped the customer quickly restore smart warehousing operations and continue supporting material management and smart factory upgrade requirements at the new facility.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Project Overview

Lancer partnered with APEX in 2022 to introduce a vertical smart storage system. After implementation, material management efficiency significantly improved and space utilization increased, which generated further demand from various departments to introduce smart storage in support of production management. In 2023, due to factory expansion plans, Lancer needed to relocate some equipment and storage facilities to an off-site rental facility. APEX completed the first disassembly, relocation, and re-commissioning in August 2023 within only 7 working days, successfully supporting uninterrupted production line operations. With the completion of the new factory in the second half of 2025, Lancer initiated another equipment relocation, which APEX again completed in less than one week.

1. Company Background: A Major Asian Hand Tool Manufacturer

Lancer (Yi Cheng Factory Co., Ltd.) was established in 1952 and is located in the Nangang Industrial District of Nantou City. It is one of the largest manufacturers of screwdrivers and hand tools in Asia.

Since its establishment, Lancer has consistently upheld the belief of using tools to promote convenient living. From its beginnings as a sewing machine repair tool manufacturer, it has grown into an enterprise with two factories and over 700 employees, continuously deepening its development in the hand tools sector.

Lancer partnered with APEX in 2022 to introduce a vertical smart storage system. After implementation, material management efficiency significantly improved and space utilization increased. This also generated demand from various Lancer departments to introduce smart storage systems to further support production management.

2. Project Timeline: From Smart Storage Implementation to Two Equipment Relocations

2022

Vertical Smart Storage Introduced

Lancer partnered with APEX to introduce a vertical smart storage system, improving material management efficiency and space utilization.

2023

First Equipment Relocation and Re-commissioning

Due to factory expansion plans, some equipment and storage facilities were relocated to an off-site rental facility. APEX completed the disassembly, relocation, and re-commissioning within only 7 working days.

2025

Second Equipment Relocation After New Factory Completion

Following the completion of the new factory in the second half of 2025, Lancer required another disassembly and relocation. APEX completed the second relocation in less than one week.

SERVICE VALUE

Smart Storage Requires More Than Installation — Long-Term Service and Rapid Re-commissioning Matter

For manufacturing operations, equipment relocation involves not only physical movement but also downtime, production continuity, and the speed of restoring normal operations.

Relocation Challenge | Minimize Downtime and Maintain Production Operations

Due to factory expansion and the subsequent completion of the new factory, Lancer required two relocations of its vertical smart storage system. During each relocation, downtime had to be minimized and the system had to be restored as quickly as possible to support material management and ongoing production operations.

  • Disassemble and relocate the existing equipment
  • Minimize equipment downtime during relocation
  • Complete reinstallation and re-commissioning efficiently
  • Restore normal smart storage system operations
  • Support Lancer's factory expansion and relocation schedule

APEX Service | Professional Engineering Team for Rapid Relocation and Re-commissioning

With its independently developed vertical smart storage capabilities and highly professional engineering team, APEX carried out equipment disassembly, relocation, reinstallation, and re-commissioning according to Lancer's requirements for downtime and operational efficiency. The first relocation was completed in only 7 working days, while the second relocation was completed in less than one week.

  • Professional engineering team responsible for relocation and re-commissioning
  • Operations arranged according to the client's relocation schedule
  • First relocation completed within 7 working days
  • Second relocation completed in less than one week
  • Rapid restoration of smart storage operations

3. First Relocation: Disassembly and Re-commissioning Completed in August 2023

In 2023, due to factory expansion plans, Lancer needed to relocate some equipment and storage facilities to an off-site rental facility. APEX assisted in completing the first disassembly, relocation, and re-commissioning in August 2023. The entire process took only 7 working days.

The relocation successfully supported uninterrupted production line operations and demonstrated APEX's ability to provide engineering support beyond the initial implementation of the vertical smart storage system.

4. Second Relocation: Rapid Completion Following the New Factory's Completion in 2025

With the completion of Lancer's new factory in the second half of 2025, another disassembly and relocation was required. In response to Lancer's requirements, APEX adhered to the principle of "minimum downtime, maximum efficiency" when arranging the disassembly, relocation, reinstallation, and re-commissioning process.

The entire operation was completed in less than one week, once again fulfilling the client's trust and enabling Lancer to resume use of its vertical smart storage system within the shortest possible time.
