The parts of the product are automatically transported, and the machine combines multiple parts to create the finished product. This has become a common sight in some modern factories. Of course, depending on the parts being made and the nature of the work, there are still places where people are performing tasks one by one. However, for large-scale, simple tasks that do not require special skills, we would like to automate them. Tokiwa Industry's Tokiwa Smart FA is capable of designing and manufacturing equipment for the automation of such tasks. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Recently, robots have become increasingly familiar in our lives. It's no longer unusual for a robot to bring food in restaurants instead of a human, and robots that clean floors in offices and homes have also become common. In 2017, a humanoid robot named Sophia obtained citizenship in Saudi Arabia. Now, these robots are also making significant contributions in production environments. The robots in these settings look completely different from serving robots, cleaning robots, or humanoid robots. There are various types, but today, as part of the "Surprisingly Unknown!? Series," we will introduce two types: vertical multi-joint robots and parallel link robots. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.

Robots that take on dangerous, difficult, and simple jobs in place of humans. They require maintenance, but they work without complaints and are very reliable. In restaurants, robots bring food, and in offices, robots clean the floors. They have become quite familiar. By the way, in my home, a robot takes care of both sweeping and mopping the floors. These robots are also making great contributions in production sites. The robots in production environments look completely different from serving robots or cleaning robots. There are various types, but today, as part of the "Surprisingly Unknown!? Series," we will introduce the SCARA robot. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related links.

Just as there is a certain limit to the weight that humans can carry, robots also have a defined weight capacity. Just as some people can barely lift a few kilograms while others can lift 500 kilograms, there are different types of robots that can only transport less than 1 kilogram, as well as those that can handle over 1 ton. This weight capacity is referred to as "lifting capacity" or "payload." *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.*

This time, I would like to introduce our automation production services. When we think of "automation," we often picture "robots." Automation refers to machines and equipment performing tasks in place of humans, and as you can imagine, robots often play a significant role in this. Working alongside robots feels like something out of a movie. That near-future era has indeed arrived. Behind this lies the significant issues of "people," "cost," and "quality." What are the major challenges we face? *For more details, you can view the blog through the related links. Please feel free to contact us for more information.*

• Other industrial robots

In recent years, the presence of robots has become very familiar. For example, there are robots that deliver food in family restaurants, robots that clean, and robots that work alongside people in warehouses for picking tasks. In the future, it is likely that receiving services from robots or working together with them will become "normal." Collaborative robots that work alongside humans. What benefits can be gained by introducing automation with collaborative robots? *For more details, you can view the related links. Please feel free to contact us for more information.*

This time, we will discuss the repair of old automation equipment. "Have you recently felt that the automation equipment you have been using for many years is not functioning well?" "Do you feel that production efficiency has declined?" One common concern we receive from customers is, "I want to replace my old automation equipment with new ones, but the cost is a barrier, and I can't make a decision." However, there are options beyond just "replacement" for aging automation equipment. There is also the option of extending its life through "proper maintenance." It doesn't matter if the equipment is too old to have a circuit diagram or if the manufacturer no longer exists. Our company can provide maintenance. *For more details, please refer to the related links on our blog. Feel free to contact us for more information.

"Maintaining quality," "strict adherence to deadlines," and "ensuring safety." Continuing to uphold these "norms" in manufacturing is quite a challenging endeavor. One of the significant factors contributing to this is the issue of "people." "Every time someone resigns, I find myself worrying about how to keep the line running," and "even when new staff come in, they leave quickly. In the first place, we can't even attract people when we post job openings." If you can relate to such situations, it might be time to consider "introducing automation." When people hear "automation," they might imagine "huge unmanned factories" like those seen on TV and think it requires enormous costs. However, automation encompasses a wide range, from large-scale equipment to smaller systems that work alongside people as "reliable partners." This time, we will introduce "key points to determine whether to implement automation." *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.*
