LED technology, known for its superior energy efficiency and durability, consumes up to 60% less power than traditional lighting solutions. This transition has significantly contributed to the reduction of overall power consumption and has also lowered maintenance costs due to the extended lifespan of LED fixtures.

(B) Technology. Absorption. Adaption and Innovation:

In todays rapidly evolving industrial landscape, technological innovation has become a cornerstone for operational efficiency and sustainable growth. Recognizing this, our organization has consistently embraced advanced solutions to modernize operations, optimize resource utilization, and enhance productivity.

Over time, significant progress has been made in improving material handling processes, with a strong focus on reducing manual intervention. A state-of-the-art automated conveying system has been installed, along with the strategic deployment of forklifts and other mechanized equipment to streamline in-plant material movement, resulting in increased operational safety and efficiency.

As part of our energy optimization initiatives, conventional drive systems have been systematically replaced with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and intelligent automation controls. This shift not only contributes to substantial energy savings, but also reduces equipment breakdowns, improves process stability, and supports long-term cost control.

In line with industry best practices, we have also upgraded critical processing equipment such as Color Sorters, which play a vital role in the rice milling process. Outdated, low- capacity machines have been replaced with next-generation, high-throughput color sorting systems, leading to a measurable reduction in product rejection rates, improved quality output, and enhanced plant capacity utilization.

The Company strongly believes that sustainable process improvement is driven by empowered and skilled employees. To cultivate a high-performance culture, we have launched a structured Manufacturing Excellence and Continuous Improvement Program. This initiative is aligned with global standards and focuses on:

• 5S Implementation for workplace organization

• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Practices

• Reliability Engineering Metrics such as MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for failure prevention

• Digital Dashboards for performance monitoring and data-driven decision making

These initiatives collectively aim to foster innovation, minimize waste, and build resilience in our operations - enabling us to remain agile and competitive in a dynamic market environment.
