At Daiichi Seidenki Co., Ltd., there were processes that involved human intervention, such as the creation of parts lists and layout diagrams, as well as visual checks of circuit diagrams. In such tasks, simple errors like data entry mistakes and oversight in checks inevitably occurred. As a result, a significant amount of time was spent on checking data and drawings. The electrical design CAD 'ECAD DCX' is a CAD solution specifically for electrical design that utilizes a database, allowing for the creation of circuit diagrams and arrangement/manufacturing data based on centrally managed component information. Furthermore, when information is updated, it is reflected in related items, eliminating simple mistakes such as incorrect data entry or transcription errors. This significantly reduces the man-hours previously required for creating and updating arrangement/manufacturing data, which has been recognized as a benefit. 【Implementation Effects】 - Improved drawing quality - Reduced checking man-hours by half - Dramatically decreased man-hours for creating arrangement/manufacturing data - Reduced rework and manufacturing losses For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

In the past, manufacturing sites used boards with nail wiring for wiring measurement and processed electrical wires. Additionally, wiring information was created on-site from drawings, and experienced workers were essential for the tasks. Moreover, when mistakes in the drawings were found on-site, it led to rework after correcting the drawings, significantly impacting delivery times. However, after the introduction of this product, verification of drawings, measurement, and consideration of wiring routes can now be done in advance on a PC, eliminating mistakes on-site. What surprised us after the implementation was that even workers who joined this year could perform wiring for control panels without being able to interpret circuit diagrams. The combination of this product and the Wiring Monitor (a monitor equipped with touch functionality) has proven that anyone can perform tasks in a short time while ensuring a certain level of quality. 【Implementation Effects】 ○ Reduced mistakes on-site and achieved shorter delivery times ○ Non-skilled workers can perform wiring for control panels while ensuring a certain level of quality *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In selecting the introduction of the electrical design CAD 'ECAD dio', not only was the electrical design CAD considered, but also the current challenges in electrical design were examined simultaneously. ECAD dio was highly praised for its ease of use and the advantage of automatically placing registered components. Additionally, with the goal of creating a "system that can be used in 10 years," the system was evaluated, resulting in proposals for ECAD that meet requirements such as "any designer can design with the same quality and within the same time," "managing drawing numbers, which had been done individually and on paper, through data for sharing and paperless operations," and "integrating with core systems for drawing number management and cost management." As a result, we adopted 20 licenses of ECAD dio along with implementation support services and program development support. [Implementation Results] - Standardization of design to unify the drawing methods across the company - Creation and internal dissemination of a unique "design procedure manual" - Consistent systemization from design to procurement - Reduction of working hours - Cost management of electrical design For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
