Case Study: Network Status Panel Upgrade
A UK-based communications equipment manufacturer replaced their outdated indicator lamps with 3mm single-level LED CBI modules to address poor visibility and inconsistent alignment. After integrating this compact 7×4×7mm solution:
-
Assembly time decreased by 28%
-
Indicator accuracy and alignment improved by 100%
-
Panel readability increased noticeably due to the black housing contrast
-
Their customers reported fewer misread indicator issues
The project led to the adoption of this 3mm CBI across the company’s entire product line.
