Unlock the intricacies behind crafting Electroluminescent Light Panels and explore cutting-edge Printed Electronics Technologies. In this journey, you’ll delve into:
In 1998 Anthony Neo chanced upon a flexible light technology when attending an Expo in Hong Kong. He spent the next two years researching Electroluminescent Technology. With the help of the Productivity and Standards Board of Singapore (PSB), a trainer was found. With it, Anthony began to walk the long journey of learning this technology.
In 2000, we set up our 1st Factory in Batam, Indonesia. After having the factory, the gaps between the theory and the actual manufacturing surface. Anthony spent the next few years closing these gaps. He has to source the right materials. Improve the manufacturing process and design inverters that meet safety standards. Months passed before he mastered the art of manufacturing Electroluminescent Light Panels. Next, he has to learn how to integrate the EL Light Panel into commercial or consumer products. A few more months were spent perfecting the techniques of making EL Animated Posters.
Finally, in 2002, we created an Electroluminescent Animated Poster for Adshel Advertising. The posters were a standard feature on Bus Stops/Shelters advertising light boxes. JCDecaux and Clear Channel are the early adopters of the technology. We made the posters in Batam and distributed them to Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Following the successful launch of the EL Animated Poster. Nejilock went on to develop Electroluminescent Animated Billboards, Electroluminescent Animated Vehicle Wraps, etc.
Things were looking good for Nejilock until the financial crisis of 2008 hit us. Orders grind to a halt, and without much choice, we had to shut down our Batam factory. When the economy picked up, most manufacturing activities shifted to China. Nejilock, too, decided to move our manufacturing to China using the OEM model. These transitions allow us to learn the bolts and nuts of running a remote manufacturing hub. This leads to us deciding to transform our business once again. This time, we are ready to be an Electroluminescent Technology provider.
In 2010, we took up our 1st EL Technology Consultant job in Brisbane, Australia. EFL Tech had a consultant who did not deliver. They are not getting high yields in their manufacturing activities. They engaged us to review their manufacturing processes and to provide recommendations. We did our job with flying colors and were engaged to review their business models too. Since 2011, we had being engaged in Kuwait, Dubai, Ajman, Bangladesh, Australia, and India. We had also provided EL Technology Consultation to many companies and individuals.
We provide onsite training for Electroluminescent and Parylene Coating or through an online platform. For productivity improvement, we review business processes and recommend digital solutions.
