In the past, our blog has featured a few of the brilliant minds behind Visionect’s cutting-edge electronic ink displays. This time, we’re shifting focus to a crucial but often overlooked part of our operation — the supply chain. The supply chain plays a pivotal role in delivering the innovative, eco-friendly products Visionect is known for.

This article paints an insider view into the essential role Tina Pirnat, our Supply Chain Lead, has in the drive behind Visionect solutions. Read on to discover the challenges and rewards of managing a dynamic supply chain in the rapidly evolving world of e-paper and indoor digital signage.

Blending Technology, Customer Experience, and Sustainability

Over the years, Tina Pirnat has harnessed an unwavering enthusiasm for co-creating supply chains renowned for their exceptional reputation for delivering first-class customer experiences. And, while the customer experience is key for Tina’s strategy, her role is also driven by a zeal for sustainability.

“I’m dedicated to steering suppliers toward greener, leaner, and more inclusive practices.”

When Tina discovered Visionect, she was inspired by the product portfolio that delivers an innovative experience while minimizing the environmental footprint. Visionect Place & Play displays are “low power, eye-catching, and dramatically improve the user experience” without adding complexity.

Optimizing Supply Chains for Efficient, Low-Power E-Paper Solutions

Electronics are a key component of our products. Tina and the suppliers focus heavily on achieving low-power consumption and extending product longevity. Given the sophistication of our technology, finding reliable suppliers requires thorough market research, on-site visits, and comprehensive assessments of the high standards Visionect upholds for both quality and innovation.

How Supplier Visits Drive Innovation

Each year, Tina visits Visionect suppliers to maintain strong supplier-customer relationships. These visits are a great opportunity to reinforce our vision, sparking new ideas and suggestions on how these suppliers can play a bigger role in helping Visionect achieve its goals.

“Our electronics are sophisticated, and securing reliable suppliers requires diligent market research, field visits, and a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities.”

This partnership with the suppliers helps ensure the state-of-the-art product quality and innovation Visionect is known for.

From Supplier to User

Tina shares that Visionect suppliers are continually impressed by the balance of elegance and functionality in Visionect e-paper displays. While the technology driving them is advanced, the user experience remains seamless and intuitive — qualities that resonate deeply with our partners. In fact, many suppliers have integrated Visionect displays into their own workspaces: a testament to their versatility and effectiveness.

“Quality is our top priority, and continuous quality improvement is one of our key performance indicators, supported by consistent communication.”

Meeting Evolving Digital Signage Needs

Tina has observed a growing demand for sustainable, energy-efficient technologies, pushing companies to adopt low-impact materials and cut energy use. This shift calls for a flexible and resilient supply chain and strong supplier collaboration. While Visionect’s e-paper displays meet many eco-friendly needs, there’s always room to grow.

The growing number of environmental crises, like floods and fires, are driving Visionect to build a more resilient, eco-friendly supply chain. By refining processes, Tina ensures Visionect e-ink displays stay ahead of industry trends, focusing on reducing emissions, product longevity, recyclable materials, and sustainable packaging.

“By raising awareness and working collaboratively, we are driving a shift towards eco-conscious supply chains that prioritize the reduction of waste and the use of sustainable materials.”

Impacts On the Supply Chain

Despite the fact that the situation is gradually stabilizing and returning to pre-pandemic levels, the electronics and components market has seen major shifts in recent years. COVID-19 and geopolitical events disrupted supply chains while increasing demand for advanced tech, particularly in the semiconductor and chip industry. New factories are being built, and manufacturers are introducing new parts while discontinuing older ones. However, this transition has led to challenges like longer lead times and higher costs due to semiconductor shortages.

Despite the fact that the situation is gradually stabilizing and returning to pre-COVID levels, the electronics market stays unpredictable, with supply shortages and delays becoming more common. To stay ahead, Tina and the suppliers constantly track market trends, helping Visionect keep production on track without compromising quality.

Meeting Global Challenges with Innovation

Visionect Place & Play digital signage solutions are designed for exceptional energy efficiency, but Tina’s team strives to deliver even more. Beyond functionality, these attractive displays help create modern workspaces that promote engagement and focus. Her team is passionate and dedicated to pushing the technological boundaries to make a real impact.

In a world full of power-hungry devices, Visionect energy-efficient displays don’t just save energy — they simplify digital signage. 

“We have an incredible team across all departments—people who are passionate, skilled, and deeply committed to exceeding customer expectations[…]. I’m confident we’ll keep pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional solutions.”
