Navigating Technological Waves
As DENSO India's journey continued, the first phase of DNHA was characterized by the steadfast production of three key products: Engine Control Units (ECU), Fuel Pumps (FP), and Injectors (INJ). These products, integral to automotive systems, formed the backbone of DNHA's initial operations, sustaining their production since inception.
In response to the evolving landscape of electronics and changing governmental norms in 2010, a pivotal shift occurred. Lead-free technology became a mandate, aligning with government regulations. This compelled DENSO to introduce lead-free technology across its product lines. Simultaneously, the introduction of robotic soldering emerged as a significant advancement, especially in scenarios requiring intricate soldering processes. This shift not only met regulatory requirements but also reflected DENSO's commitment to technological innovation.
The second phase, ushered in as a major wave of progress, saw the addition of three new products: O2, VCT, and ETB in Plant - I. This expansion in product offerings in 2012 marked a strategic response to the dynamic demands of the automotive market.
The years 2012 and 2013 witnessed the production launch of VCT and O2 products, respectively. This phase introduced new technologies, underpinning a paradigm shift in DENSO's approach towards QDC along with a heightened emphasis on safety standards.
Amidst these advancements, a monumental challenge emerged in 2013. DENSO had to undertake the intricate task of transferring the Motor line from DNIN (responsible for HVAC, ECM, Power Windows, Blower, Wiper, etc.) to DNHA. This transfer posed a substantial challenge - ensuring a seamless shift of mass production lines without causing disruptions for customers. The audacious goal was accomplished over a three-year journey, from 2013 to 2015, without any safety incidents or delivery failures. The transfer included critical components such as Electronic Fan Modules (EFM), Blower, Power Windows, and finally, Wiper assemblies.
In the realm of safety technology, 2013 marked the launch of the AIRBAG ECU, underlining DENSO's commitment to advancing safety features in automobiles. Subsequent years saw further diversification with the introduction of CRS Diesel Technology in 2015, followed by Meter Production in 2015 and RTS Production in 2018.
This phase of evolution exemplifies DENSO's adaptability to technological shifts, stringent adherence to safety standards, and the successful expansion of its product portfolio. The storyline unfolds as a testament to DENSO's resilience, innovation, and commitment to meeting the dynamic demands of the Indian automotive market.
The evolution of DENSO Haryana Pvt. Ltd. (DNHA) reflects a remarkable journey of adaptation and innovation in response to the dynamic automotive landscape of India. The reorganization in 2012 as the No.1 Factory and the establishment of its second manufacturing unit in Jhajjar further solidify DNHA's position as a complex business unit focused on enhancing efficiency and productivity. As DNHA continues to steer through technological advancements and industry challenges, its unwavering dedication to quality, safety, and innovation remains the cornerstone of its success.
