Bottleneck tightener, initiative to save thousands of hours of labor

PHƯƠNG ANH |

Soc Trang - Engineer Nguyen Van Thang has initiated the innovation of bottle cap tighteners to help businesses save thousands of working hours and effectively reduce costs.

With more than 16 years of working in the field of electrical and electronics engineering, engineer Nguyen Van Thang, Director of Mechanical Engineering of S.Pharm Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company in An Nghiep Industrial Park (Soc Trang province) is a typical example of creativity, dedication and constant innovation.

Typically in 2024, Mr. Thang proposed and directly implemented the initiative "Improving the manufacturing of bottle cap tighteners", helping to overcome limitations in manual production. This initiative has been highly appreciated by the company's leadership for its effectiveness, practical application and significant cost savings.

Mr. Thang said that previously, to complete a shipment of 25,000 bottles of Corti, it took 3 people to work for 11 hours, equivalent to 33 working hours. After the improvement, the top tightener only requires 1 person to operate for 11 hours, saving 22 hours of work per lot. Similarly, with povidon products, each batch of 7,000 bottles previously needed 3 people to work 27 hours to complete. Thanks to improved machinery, this process only requires 2 people in 18 hours, saving 9 hours of work.

Sharing about his working process, Mr. Thang said: "I feel passionate about being creative and contributing to the development of the company. When businesses develop, the income and life of themselves and their colleagues also improve. It is the timely recognition and encouragement from the board that motivates me to continue to be creative".

These equipment have helped reduce production time, save labor, and improve working conditions for workers.

In addition to operating the equipment system, he also manages 51 machines in the workshop, performing periodic maintenance for 17 machines and repairing an average of 10 machines per month.

He has been recognized as an outstanding union member many times in 2023 and 2024. Mr. Thang is a progressive person, always ready to learn, propose innovative solutions, save time, human resources and bring clear results.
