[Case Study] Achieving Total Cost Reduction

Reducing processing man-hours for wiring ducts! Introducing case studies of wiring duct processing services.

At Company H, which manufactures and sells equipment for plants and environmental-related devices, there were challenges such as "wanting to reduce the total cost during control panel production" and "there are limits to reducing the cost of materials." They produce a large number of control panels for purification tanks and wastewater treatment equipment, and while working on cost reduction for standard specification control panels, they decided to implement our service. They received feedback that not only did it lead to a reduction in manufacturing costs, but it also contributed to reducing costs that are usually not considered, such as the disposal costs of duct offcuts. 【Overview】 ■ Challenges - There are limits to reducing the cost of materials - There are many factory inspections, and they want to keep the work site clean - There are many female workers, and they want to reduce the labor involved in cutting heavy ducts ■ Results - The processing man-hours for wiring ducts (setup, cutting, cleanup) were reduced - Waste due to processing errors was eliminated - Marking of ducts made it easy to identify installation positions, improving work efficiency - As a result of reducing man-hours, personnel could be assigned to other tasks - A series of efforts and costs related to offcut disposal were also reduced *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Case Study] Achieving Improved Exterior Appearance in the Factory

The protection of electrical wires also helps improve the aesthetics within the factory! Case study on the introduction of non-halogen flame-retardant PP ducts.

We are primarily engaged in the design and manufacturing of labor-saving devices centered around production equipment for major manufacturers, and we also undertake modifications and rearrangements of equipment. We have been selected by Company H to use non-halogen flame-retardant PP ducts for the protection of cables wired within their factory. Initially, they were using PVC (gray) wiring ducts, but there was a request from the user for a less conspicuous color for cable protection. Our ducts are ivory-colored, which is close to the color scheme of the factory, leading to their adoption. While the ducts provide protection for electrical wires, they have also been evaluated positively for contributing to the improvement of the factory's appearance. [Overview] ■ Issues - They want to use ducts for cable protection in the factory, but gray is too conspicuous. - Other manufacturers only offer large ducts for accommodating small amounts of electrical wires. - Large ducts are costly and cumbersome to process (time-consuming). ■ Requests - They requested ducts in a color close to that of the factory or a color that conveys cleanliness. - A wide variety of sizes and ease of processing are desired. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Case Study] Inventory Reduction, Effective Use of Space

Eliminating losses due to ensuring safety during operations and processing errors! Case study on the introduction of wiring duct processing services.

Company K designs and manufactures high-voltage receiving equipment, and as a result of various considerations to meet customer demands for short delivery times, they decided to adopt our services. Through specification meetings with the design team, we created drawings for the ducts and delivered them in set packaging, with processed ducts packed by production number. They are very satisfied with the fact that installation work can begin immediately after receiving the products. Additionally, they have effectively utilized the space created by reducing the inventory of standard-sized products, and they have also appreciated the reduction in duct waste, contributing to environmental considerations. [Challenges and Requests] ■ Minimize cutting and processing ■ Reduce inventory (standard-sized products require large boxes, so space must be secured) ■ Difficulty in storing and disposing of duct waste ■ Eliminate losses due to processing errors ■ Respond to short delivery times (delivery within four business days from order) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Joint to prevent bending for 1/16 inch tube (for ultra-fine tubes)

Securely joint the microflow line.

The 1/16-inch (1.6mm) resin joints are very fragile and often lead to serious damage incidents. By installing a protective tube around the outer circumference of the bamboo shoot, the force from the tubes and hoses is less likely to directly impact the bamboo shoot in the 1/16 couplings and joints from CPC.
