A fresh start – A long way to go, despite 35 years of experience!

With 2021 gone, we herald the year 2022 with more optimism. It’s that time of the year again, where we all gradually forget the previous year and start thinking of plans for the current year!

During pre-Covid, then during Covid-19 and after Covid-19 (the day is not far), new business needs are emerging as markets and customers are dynamically changing. As Covid restrictions ease and manufacturing activity rebounds, significant challenges remain, including inflation, supply chain issues, and labour shortages.

As we enter 2022, digital is no longer optional. Manufacturers like us who are in the midst of digital transformations are experiencing competitive advantages over their counterparts. Be it any discipline, true digital is the buzzword. By being digitally empowered, we can stay ahead of industry trends on one hand and keep pace with competition on the other hand. We, as manufacturers, should not become complacent but should remain agile and discover ways to timely respond to customer needs.

Though digital transformation will continue to be a priority in 2022, just thinking of being digital is not enough. We need to equally up-skill in order to embrace technological transformation in our entire supply chain, thereby constantly seeking to do more with less.

The adoption of AI, self-designed software, cloud applications, increased automation leading to shorter production cycles, predictive maintenance, which is aimed at reducing costly and unexpected breakdowns, etc are some of the activities being undertaken for continuous improvement with the objective of attaining smart manufacturing capabilities.

Since dense breasts have always posed a challenge to mammography imaging, there are some other techniques developed to improve the diagnosis in dense breast case like breast density measurement and contrast enhanced digital mammography (CEDM). These are some other technological advancements we are adding to our high-end digital mammography systems.

Apart from technological advancements in each product vertical, we are also regularly focusing and treading toward trying to reach the target audience with a robust marketing strategy so that we can include those who have yet to buy our products, apart from those who have shown tremendous faith in our brand during the last 35 years. Being a customer-centric organization, we have always endeavoured to meet customer expectations despite all odds.

Through both talent and technology, now is the time to invest in the future; it would be short-sighted not to, and 2022 is a critical moment in time to elevate the industry, and we are on track.

We are increasing our investments in R&D to aid the application requirements of doctors and are also progressively expanding our production facilities in order to cater to the rising demand.

Being a technology-driven company, we are constantly upgrading our systems in order to sustain a competitive advantage over our peers by providing complete solutions to the needs of our customers. Without the support of our workforce, it would never be possible. Right from management participation to ensuring that each employee is suitably educated and familiarised with the dynamic changes at each step of the specific domain, this is a protocol that we are continuously working upon. Above all, strong feedback is established to ensure that each employee has ownership of the process.

We at Allengers have always followed our mission: Converting our engineering excellence into medical equipment for making the world a better place to live in.

Our strategy has never been to work on hearsay ideas. Our approach has always been different as compared to our counterparts. It is certainly challenging and sometimes overwhelming when you have to handle multiple responsibilities and demands.

India is finally catching up/up scaling on its manufacturing prowess/potential and ours being an indigenous company has its advantages like in-house R&D, QC, exclusive production lines for each vertical that we manufacture. This is thereby enabling us to become better at identifying our priorities, leading us to achieve our goal and become what we aspire to be, a most respectable Indian brand, worldwide.
