Waterproof × Wide Temperature Support – Custom Solution for "Invisible Power Source" Case Study of FA Equipment Manufacturer

Achieved IP waterproofing, -20 to +60℃ operation, and high output simultaneously with AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount through semi-customization utilizing existing assets. Introducing a case study of an FA equipment manufacturer that successfully mass-produced without any design changes to their equipment.

"IP waterproof design with -20 to +60°C range, and yet no high-power AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount..."Do you have such concerns?

A common challenge faced by many FA equipment manufacturers: “harsh environments × high power.”

In this case, our “semi-custom power supply” successfully solved a situation where existing lineups didn’t meet the specs, and significant modifications to the equipment seemed to be the only option.

Challenges Before Implementation

Standard products do not meet both IP waterproof specification and wide temperature range (-20 to +60°C) simultaneously
Due to insufficient output, device design must be modified
Risk of missing the new product release schedule

Our Solution

Step	Measure	Effect
1	Reuse our existing 24V model adapter	Minimize initial cost and lead time
2	Design waterproof case with new mold	Ensure IP rating while maintaining optimal size
3	Replace some components with wide-temperature support parts	Maintain rated output even in -20 to +60°C range

[Key Point] Instead of “full custom,” we achieved both cost and development speed by fully utilizing existing assets!

Results After Implementation

Started mass production on schedule with zero design changes to the device
Quick delivery achieved by combining additional specs with stock parts and new housing
One-stop solution to the issue of "limited options"

"Development that had been delayed due to power supply issues suddenly moved forward!"
