Problem-Solving Materials Productivity Improvement Edition 13 | Digitalization of Molds

What is the method to "smoothly advance" the digitalization of large wooden molds? The first step towards implementation! Information on useful materials.

This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced in production sites. We will introduce the challenges of digitizing large wooden molds that are not progressing, along with their solutions. [Document Overview] Are you feeling challenged by the increasing inventory in the management of large wooden molds? As the amount of storage increases, the need for space and management effort also grows, and the burden of annual inventory handling accumulates. Although there are standards for storage periods under the Subcontract Act, there are often cases in the field where it is difficult to make judgments due to the possibility of "future reorders." As a result, "irreplaceable molds" pile up, and the invisible management costs become a factor that pressures the profits of the site. In this context, attention is being drawn to the operation of digitizing molds through 3D scanning and remaking them when needed. While it was previously considered to have a high barrier to entry, it is now possible to consider switching to digitization with a budget comparable to the "storage costs of maintaining physical items." This document not only introduces products that are optimal for digitization but also explains the comparison with current storage costs and guidelines for investment recovery. Please use it as a reference for your decision-making regarding implementation. *You can download the document using the button above.
