Introducing a case where a system was built that allows beginners to perform wiring work in a short period of time, even without prior experience in electrical CAD!
Since its establishment in 1980, Meito Panel Co., Ltd., a "specialized manufacturer of panel production" that assembles control panels, distribution boards, and cubicles, has introduced 'WIRE CAM DX' to focus on the digitalization of panel assembly by implementing various innovations without sticking to traditional methods. Here are the effects of this implementation.
■ Reasons for adopting WIRE CAM DX
We considered that by displaying work instructions on a monitor and having employees follow them, even those with little experience could perform wiring tasks, and that the transfer of skills from veteran employees to younger ones could be smoother. Thus, we aimed to create an environment where anyone could perform wiring tasks.
■ Effects after implementation
- Significantly reduced the man-hours required to create manufacturing data, as the results of wiring design can be easily converted into Excel data.
- Directly imported wire number data into the marking tube printer for printing processing.
- Successfully reduced material waste by about 30-40% by producing wires for doors and other components in exact sizes.
- Outsourced wires and ducts to improve efficiency.
- Increased the number of personnel responsible for wiring.
- Shortened wiring work from 80 hours to approximately 60 hours.
- Unified wiring routes, leading to improved product quality.
