• Production Management System

■Have you ever experienced this in your factory? - Sharing production information smoothly with other departments is not happening. - Data can be collected from equipment, but the analysis is too difficult to perform. - Interested in new systems, but can't use them because the equipment is old. - A system was implemented before, but the site couldn't make good use of it. Manufacturing data is meant to be used on the shop floor. If the site can't utilize it, it has no meaning. iXacs is a monitoring system developed at Asahi Tekko Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of automotive parts, with a focus on being easy for the people on the shop floor to use. With iXacs, Asahi Tekko achieved an average productivity increase of 43% across 100 lines and a cost reduction of 300 million yen in just two years. The secret lies in three commitments to "close connection to the shop floor": 1. Focus on the data truly necessary for Kaizen. 2. Data can be obtained from old equipment using external sensors. 3. Easy installation allows for 24/7 monitoring. With iXacs, the time previously spent on manual data collection and analysis has been significantly reduced, enabling a faster cycle for Kaizen activities.
