Visualization of Steel Processing Operations | Sumikura Steel Case Study
Visualizing the "now" of factories through "on-site DX." Making the entire 30,000 square meters visible.
Founded in 1952, Sumikura Steel has honed its steel processing in the iron town of Kitakyushu. They faced challenges such as wanting to "quantify skilled experience to create a more efficient production system" and "share the operational realities of the large factory with the team." At Kaizen Maru, we first redefined "what constitutes operational rate," and installed sensors in optimal locations across the 30,000 square meter site. Simultaneously, we improved the factory's Wi-Fi, creating an environment where operational status can be checked in real-time via smartphones. After implementation, a proactive mindset emerged on the shop floor regarding "how to operate more efficiently," and daily efforts were fairly evaluated using objective metrics. The accumulated data is also utilized for making decisions on personnel allocation without excess or waste. No wiring work is needed, and measurements can start in as little as three days.
