First Mold Has Optimized Processes to Achieve Significant 25 Reduction in Mold Lead Time

Published

on

First Mold has successfully reduced its average mold lead time by 25% through optimized operational processes and enhanced supply chain collaboration. This improvement addresses the critical industry challenge of delayed mold deliveries, enabling faster time-to-market for clients in sectors such as consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive. Key strategies include end-to-end project management, strategic supplier partnerships, lean manufacturing practices, and robust design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews. The company’s efforts have resulted in more predictable timelines and increased customer satisfaction.

Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, China, 19th Sep 2025 – First Mold, a global leader in precision tooling service and rapid prototyping services, recently announced that it has significantly reduced its average tooling project lead time by 25% through the systematic optimization of internal operational processes and deeper collaboration with key supply chain partners. This achievement directly addresses the global manufacturing industry’s urgent need for rapid tooling delivery to shorten lead times. This optimization benefits the international customer base served by First Mold’s Zhongshan, China manufacturing facility and its Guanajuato, Mexico sub-manufacturing facility.

In the context of increased competition and lightning-fast product updates in the global manufacturing industry, long mold lead times have become one of the key bottlenecks for downstream customers to capture market opportunities. According to a recent report by the China Die & Mold Industry Association (CDMIA), more than 65% of surveyed manufacturing companies ranked “untimely delivery of molds” as one of the top challenges to new product development. According to an analysis by international consultancy GFM (Global Fabrication Metrics), the average lead time from design freeze to qualified tooling will still be 8-12 weeks in 2024, while customer expectations are generally compressed to less than 6-8 weeks. This gap between expectations and reality often results in valuable missed market windows, costly idle R&D resources, and even impacts the pace and competitiveness of final product launches.

 

“We deeply understand our customers’ anxiety that time is the key to competitiveness,” said Mr. James Li, CEO of First Mold. “The complexity of mold manufacturing involves design review, material sourcing, precision machining, and mold testing and validation. A delay in any one of these steps can have a ripple effect. Our goal is not to pursue unrealistic speeds, but to provide our customers with more reliable and predictable delivery guarantees through executable and sustainable optimization, ultimately helping them win in the market.”

 

At the core of First Mold’s ability to realize delivery efficiency gains lies excellence in existing processes and strengthened supply chain resilience, rather than relying on disruptive technologies that are not yet commonplace:

 

End-to-End Project Accountability and Transparent Communication 

First Mold has a dedicated project manager and team for each project. The team is responsible for 7×24 tracking of the entire process from requirements identification, design review (utilizing an online quote page for a quick initial assessment), material tracking, production monitoring, and trial mold feedback. Customers can know the progress of key nodes in real time through the designated interface person, reducing information disconnection and waiting time.

 

Supply Chain Strategic Partnership Deepening 

The factory establishes closer forecast sharing and prioritized supply mechanism with core raw material suppliers. In terms of key imported materials or special alloys, locking up production capacity and logistics resources in advance can significantly reduce the procurement waiting period. The localized procurement network in Mexico has also effectively shortened the lead time for North American customers.

 

Internal Production Process Optimization and Experience Reuse 

First Mold continues to apply lean manufacturing principles to optimize shop floor scheduling logic and reduce non-value-added waiting time. The workshop has set up a standardized component library and a processing process database, so as to achieve rapid reuse of experience and solutions for similar projects and improve processing efficiency.

 

Enhance pre-design and manufacturability review 

Customers can utilize the Quick Quote page (https://firstmold.com/quote-generator/) on the company’s website as a convenient entry point for submitting requirements and obtaining preliminary cost and delivery estimates. This tool is designed to accelerate initial communication and feasibility assessment during the project initiation phase. More importantly, First Mold emphasizes that its team of senior engineers conducts in-depth manual design and manufacturability analysis (DFM) based on the uploaded models. By working closely with the customer to optimize the solution, the risk of subsequent design changes in production can be reduced at the source. It is important to realize that design changes after production has begun are one of the most common factors leading to delays. The final accurate quote and reliable delivery commitments are confirmed based on this in-depth review.

 

“Reducing lead times by 25% has been significant for us,” shares the Director of Purchasing at a U.S. home medical device company we’ve been working with for four years (anonymized at the client’s request), “especially during the product validation phase, having the tooling in place quickly has allowed us to start testing earlier. This has resulted in less risk throughout the project and a more manageable time-to-market schedule. The team at First Mold has really excelled in communication and execution, and is able to follow through on commitments.”

Rankiteo Now Owns and Maintains the Worlds Global Cybersecurity Incident Database Transforming the Future of Cyber Insurance

Published

on

United States, 19th Sep 2025 – Rankiteo, the cybersecurity risk intelligence platform, today announced that it now owns and maintains the Global Cybersecurity Incident Database, a unique resource that is reshaping how cyber risk is evaluated and insured worldwide.

This database consolidates verified cybersecurity incidents across industries and geographies into a single, continuously updated source of truth. By centralizing this intelligence under Rankiteo’s stewardship, insurers, brokers, and enterprises gain an unprecedented level of transparency into the frequency, severity, and evolution of digital threats.

A Turning Point for Cyber Insurance

The cyber insurance industry has long struggled with incomplete or inconsistent data. With Rankiteo now curating and maintaining the world’s primary incident database, underwriters and risk managers can rely on:

  • Centralized Access to Incident Data: Thousands of cyber events recorded and updated in real time.
  • Standardized Risk Scoring: Comparable, objective scores derived from incident history and industry benchmarks.
  • Predictive Insights for Premiums: Advanced models projecting the likelihood and financial impact of future attacks.
  • Transparent Benchmarking for Enterprises: Organizations can measure their risk posture against peers and demonstrate resilience to insurers.

More Than a Database: AI-Driven Scoring and Affordable TPRM Monitoring

Beyond offering its unique global incident database covering most companies worldwide, Rankiteo also provides an AI-powered cybersecurity score, enabling insurers and enterprises to instantly measure risk in a standardized way.

For organizations seeking deeper insights, Rankiteo’s Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) monitoring product allows continuous attack surface management at a fraction of the cost charged by major competitors—who often sell these solutions for millions of dollars.

By focusing on small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), Rankiteo aims to democratize access to enterprise-grade cybersecurity intelligence. “It makes no sense to force hospitals and other frontline services to pay exorbitant prices for essential cybersecurity monitoring,” said Jeremy Canale, Founder and CEO of Rankiteo. “We are committed to delivering affordable and effective solutions where they are needed most.”

Building Trust and Standardization

By taking ownership of the world’s largest cybersecurity incident database, Rankiteo provides a trusted foundation for cyber risk measurement. This standardization enables insurers to set premiums with greater precision while allowing enterprises to prove their security maturity with hard data.

“Cyber risk is the fastest-evolving exposure in the insurance market. By owning and maintaining the global incident database, Rankiteo delivers the transparency the industry has been missing,” added Jeremy Canale. “We are building the infrastructure that ensures cyber insurance can scale sustainably in the years ahead.”

“This is one of the rare cases where academic research in cyber risk and cyber insurance successfully transforms into a real product. I believe Rankiteo is set to become an essential player for insurers,” said Maochao Xu, Rankiteo Co-Founder and the third most-cited researcher worldwide in cyber insurance studies.

About Rankiteo

Rankiteo is a leading cybersecurity risk intelligence platform headquartered in Palo Alto, California. The company delivers transparent, data-driven insights to insurers, enterprises, and regulators. Through company-level risk scoring, compliance certification, benchmarking, predictive analytics, and TPRM monitoring, Rankiteo empowers organizations to better understand, manage, and transfer cyber risk—at costs accessible to SMBs and critical sectors such as healthcare.

Paybis has Hosted Proof of Chill – An Exclusive Blockchain Mixer Event During Riga Tech Week

Published

on

United States, 19th Sep 2025 – Paybis hosted Proof of Chill: An Exclusive Blockchain Mixer, an invitation-only meetup for the blockchain, crypto, and fintech communities at Riga’s Lighthouse restaurant on August 28, 2025. The invite-only event was an official part of Riga Tech Week’s schedule. The citywide program included talks, workshops, meetups, and panels across Riga held by a variety of companies and communities.

The mixer event was organized in collaboration with the Latvian Blockchain Association (LBAA) and UN:BLOCK, the leading crypto conference in Northern Europe. The regional interest was strong, with 300 leaders from the crypto, fintech, and blockchain industries coming together in the evening.

Proof of Chill also marked a milestone for Paybis, which doubled Baltic turnover and nearly doubled its retail user base year-over-year. Founded in Latvia in 2014, the company has grown into a global crypto infrastructure provider with more than 5 million users and is trusted by global businesses worldwide.

Voices from Latvia’s Web3 Scene

Proof of Chill was designed as a working mixer rather than a stage program. Guests enjoyed cocktails and plates in a relaxed seaside setting, with a DJ playing through sunset. Interactive touches such as an AI photo booth and a claw machine with prizes kept energy high, while a curated guest list ensured meaningful conversations across adjacent fields.

Bringing business and community voices together underscored the event’s goal. “Paybis is a homegrown Latvian success story and a growing force in Web3 across the globe,” said Innokenty Isers, Founder and CEO of Paybis. “This year, we continue to expand our product and technical team in Riga, creating high-paying jobs. Proof of Chill is only the beginning of our efforts to position Riga as a regional Web3 economic leader.”

Reinis Znotiņš, Executive Director of LBAA, added, “It is clear that interest in crypto assets, blockchain, and fintech is growing not only globally but also in Latvia. Our community is growing, and with active work, we’ve managed to set Latvia’s ecosystem in motion.”

The event built on long-running community efforts. LBAA, a Riga-based nonprofit, works to establish Latvia as a European Web3 hub through education, policy, and community building. UN:BLOCK, the largest crypto conference in Northern Europe, drew a four-figure audience in 2025 and has already opened ticket sales for its next edition.

For visitors in town for Riga Tech Week, Proof of Chill offered a snapshot of the Baltics’ fast-growing crypto ecosystem. The evening gave participants space to explore pilot partnerships, sketch integration plans, and exchange perspectives on regulatory priorities, strengthening Riga’s position as a hub for fintech and blockchain collaboration.

Paybis in the Baltics

Paybis’s presence in the Baltics grew quickly across both retail and enterprise. In the first half of 2025, turnover and the retail user base doubled compared to H1 2024, showing strong market fit and wider reach. Most purchases were in euros, with U.S. dollars next in line. The concentrated demand was in the core European currencies.

Most activity centers on Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, with new pockets picking up in other Baltic hubs. On the retail side, BTC, USDT, and ETH see the most use. In addition to retail growth, Paybis added new corporate accounts, bringing businesses from various industries into the mix. Operating as a crypto infrastructure provider since 2014, Paybis supports businesses with on- and off-ramp services, global crypto payments, and secure business wallets, with round-the-clock support.
