Hello! This is FRICS Fab. I would like to introduce a course available on the video learning platform Udemy. "I want to promote DX, but I don't know where to start." I have heard this sentiment many times in the manufacturing industry. In this course, we explain: - The reasons why DX is not progressing - The basic concepts of digital twins - How to connect to production planning optimization - The relationship with MES and IoT This course is recommended for: - Those who want to promote DX in the manufacturing industry - Sites where production planning is overly reliant on individuals - Those who are struggling to identify bottlenecks - Those who want to understand the overall picture before introducing tools *You can view the detailed content of the article through the related links.

Following last month, I participated in a radio recording held at the Hiroshima FM headquarters. In this segment, which we deliver every month, we introduce advanced digital technologies through familiar themes. This time, the theme is the differentiation in the use of "generative AI," which is rapidly evolving. Its utilization is progressing within our company, and recently, more people are using it as a consulting partner, making it an increasingly familiar presence in our lives. *For more details, you can view the article through the related link.

In the manufacturing industry, there is a long-held and important philosophy. That is the "Three Gen Principles" - Genba (the actual place), Genbutsu (the actual thing), and Genjitsu (the actual reality). It is not just theoretical; it emphasizes "going to the site, seeing the actual items, and facing the reality." This attitude has supported Japan's manufacturing competitiveness. However, in recent years, there are increasing situations in the field where the Three Gen Principles alone are no longer "sufficient." *For more details, you can view the related links.

Many people may find it difficult to imagine what the term "digital twin," which has been frequently heard lately, actually means. In fact, we are already using digital twins in our daily lives. For example, Google Maps. It recreates real roads and buildings digitally and simulates "traffic information," "shortest routes," and "arrival predictions," among other things. It has become an indispensable tool. *You can view the detailed content of the article through the related link. For more information, please feel free to contact us.*

"Advance DX!" "Increase the operating rate!" "Boost productivity!" The words that flew around the conference room are still echoing in my mind. The manufacturing manager was staring at the process chart. "Theoretically, it should flow with this number..." Yet, for some reason, it drops. At that moment, the laptop glowed softly. *For more details, you can view the related links. Please feel free to contact us for more information.*

At the end of the year in the conference room, the factory manager was comparing two estimates placed on the desk. Just then, the department head entered and picked up the documents. "60 million? That's too expensive. B Company will do. It's a million cheaper. After all, all AGVs are the same." The factory manager was at a loss for words. Looking at the numbers alone, B Company was indeed cheaper. However, there was something that nagged at him deep inside. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

"I wonder if our factory will still be around in 10 years like this." A young employee in his third year at the company murmured to himself while listening to the sounds of old machinery. Paper instructions, handwritten records, and personal know-how. All of these are important "history," but he felt they weren't turning into a "map" for the future. He wanted to improve things. But he didn't know where to start. *For more details, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.*
