Zinox Technologies
Group, has completed the installation of its digital assembly plant, ahead of
the end of May 2013 deadline set last year by management.
The plant is
expected to product digital devices including Personal Computers (PC), Smart
Phones to name a few, according to the Corporate Affairs Consultant to Zinox
Group, Mr. Echika Ezuka, who revealed this to DigitalSENSE Business News.
He also said that
Zinox with this assembly plant is committed to manufacture quality Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment to empower digital natives to
drive the development of the nation.
“Zinox has powered
and successfully tested the reliability of the digital plant, first of its kind
in Africa, with the challenges of local power supply. The plant has capacity to
assemble in-house brands as well as execute contract manufacturing for other
brands,” he told correspondent.
Ezuka also said that
the digital plant with multiclass functionality produces Smart Desktops,
Laptops, Tablet PCs, Phones, and is structured to produce a wider range of gadgets
with available components.
He pointed out that
this digital plant has enhanced the capacity of Zinox to keep pace with
international quality standards.
“Zinox would now be
more competitive in terms of pricing, delivery and after sales support while
increasing the rate of introducing new products,” he said, adding it’s an
opportunity for Zinox to customize large orders for its customers.
As said by him, with
an installed capacity and digital certification of 1250 PCs daily, the Zinox
digital plant is expected to open new vistas to the entire IT sector –
nurturing new brands, improving the quality of existing brands, and introducing
new levels of flexibility with product design and architecture, all at costs
that would reduce prices. At last the IT sector can deliver huge orders at
short notice.
Also speaking on
this development, Head Operations at Zinox, Mr. Uche Onyechere said that the
foreign engineers who installed the digital plant worked in two shifts 24 hours
daily, including Sundays, to achieve compatibility with the nation’s erratic
power supply.
“These engineers
drawn from China and South Africa made sure the plant passed through all
certifications stages, synchronizing the different sections of the plant and
then tested production for a few days before internal commissioning,” Onyechere
said, confirming that Zinox now runs a full scale digital assembling which is
rated globally with a failure rate of 0.001.
