We would like to introduce a case study of the cloud-based planning board "Freely," recommended for manufacturers engaged in small-lot production of various products, implemented in a bending processing company. The company was using paper-based production planning sheets, which led to wasted transcription work and missed sharing of change information. After implementation, the transcription work was eliminated due to the file import/export function, and change information could be intuitively grasped in real-time as updated data, allowing for thorough communication to the shop floor. 【Case Overview (Partial)】 ■ Challenges - The paper-based production planning sheets resulted in wasted transcription work and missed sharing of change information. - It was not possible to maintain plans considering real-time shop floor conditions, leading to uneven workload distribution. ■ Results - The transcription work was eliminated due to the file import/export function. - It became possible to replan considering work progress and workload conditions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Freely," which allows for real-time sharing of plans even from remote locations, in the steel industry. Previously, shipment planning was carried out using a whiteboard, leading to waste and omissions in the transcription process. After implementation, the file import/export function reduced the transcription time from 45 minutes to 0 minutes, eliminated human errors caused by transcription, and ensured that accurate information was communicated to all parties. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■Challenges - Waste and omissions occurred in the transcription process. - Changes made during meetings were added or modified on the whiteboard, causing interruptions each time. ■Results - Human errors due to transcription were eliminated, and accurate information was communicated to all parties. - Smooth meeting progress became possible with easy drag-and-drop operations. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the production management system "FUSE," which combines only the necessary features from 20 functionalities and has been implemented in the casting industry. There were challenges such as a lack of process management, resulting in habitual delays in delivery due to the inability to see work progress, and the specialized casting techniques becoming tacit knowledge, making technical succession difficult. After implementation, the use of a large touch panel for progress sharing reduced delivery delays by one-third, and it became possible to register achievements from the site, allowing for real-time progress confirmation. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■Challenges - Lack of process management, leading to habitual delivery delays - Specialized casting techniques becoming tacit knowledge, hindering technical succession ■Results - Delivery delays reduced by one-third - Achievement input realized using tablets with dust covers *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of implementing "FUSE," a system that allows you to select functions and build a system tailored to your company's operations, in the metal bending processing industry. There were challenges such as the technical know-how of skilled workers becoming tacit knowledge, making it difficult to pass on skills effectively. After implementation, it became possible to register and manage technical know-how, such as work videos, linked to work instructions, allowing anyone to easily reference the necessary information. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The technical know-how of skilled workers has become tacit knowledge, making skill transfer difficult. - Sharing and utilizing technical know-how has not been successful. ■Results - Technical know-how, such as work videos, can be registered and managed, making it easy to reference necessary information. - By searching based on material and shape, technical know-how can be utilized. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Kobe Kasei Co., Ltd., a food additive manufacturer, the sharing of production plans between locations and departments was insufficient, leading to communication errors such as "I didn't hear" or "I didn't know," frequent phone calls, and transcription mistakes. Previously, operations relied on whiteboards and phone calls, resulting in an inefficient system where every change required contacting all locations. The introduction of the production scheduler "Freely" enabled centralized management of plans on the web, achieving real-time information sharing. With a user interface that is intuitive like a whiteboard and high visibility through color coding, it was smoothly adopted on-site. As a result, the time for planning and sharing was significantly reduced, along with a decrease in phone calls and rewriting tasks. It has also contributed to the elimination of human errors and the realization of flexible working styles that are not location-dependent. This is a suitable case for manufacturing industries with multiple locations or those facing challenges in sharing and responding to changes in production plans. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

"Freely" is a cloud-based planning board recommended for manufacturers engaged in small-batch, diverse production. You can move work instruction cards with touch operations, allowing for efficient responses to frequent planning changes. Plans can be shared in real-time, even from remote locations. 【Features】 ■ Planning changes in just 1 second ■ Displays similar to cards posted on a whiteboard ■ Easy to operate with screen touch, making it beginner-friendly for those unfamiliar with computers ■ Simple touch operations allow for easy movement of work instruction cards and quick adjustments to schedules ■ The color change of cards visually communicates completion status and delays *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Nagato Co., Ltd., which engages in made-to-order and small-batch, diverse production, changes to the production schedule were left to the discretion of individual staff members, requiring confirmation from each responsible person every time a request for shortening delivery times came in. Additionally, on days when staff members were absent, it was impossible to provide delivery responses, leading to issues with information sharing being overly dependent on individuals. By implementing the production scheduler "Freely," anyone can intuitively change schedules from a tablet, and real-time sharing of machine availability, raw material, and mold information has been achieved. By visualizing information across the entire site, this has led to quicker delivery responses and more flexible adjustments to planning changes. Furthermore, the time taken to create production plans has been reduced from 90 minutes to 45 minutes, achieving approximately a 50% reduction. This is a suitable case study for manufacturing industries aiming to improve the efficiency of production planning and delivery responsiveness in made-to-order and small-batch, diverse production. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
