RDC expands its production capabilities

Issue 4 2023 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection, Products & Solutions


Local electronics manufacturer, RDC, recently acquired a new SMT (surface mount technology) machine to boost its manufacturing output. With the growing demand for its products locally and abroad, RDC has made this investment to meet the needs of its customers.

RDC’s commitment to quality, innovation and customer satisfaction has been the driving force behind its success. With the new SMT machine, it can now increase production output while maintaining high standards.

The installation of the new SMT machine proved to be a challenging logistical exercise. It required additional compressor and extraction points to be installed, which added to the complexity of the task. Furthermore, the assembly plant is located on the first floor of the manufacturing facility, making it difficult to transport the machine into the building. To overcome this obstacle, a specially made opening was used in the side of the building to fit in the new SMT machine.

Despite the challenges, the installation was successful and the new machine is now fully operational. The investment is a significant development for RDC as it continues to expand and meet the demands of customers.
