小西金型工学 Company Profile

KONISHI Mold Engineering will take the stage and present. On January 27, 2023 (Friday), a hybrid pitch event for open innovation technology utilizing Go-Tech (Support for Innovation) will be held. Purpose of the event: Downstream industries, represented by the automotive and electrical/electronic sectors, possess advanced production technologies and have been solving problems internally through "wisdom and improvement." However, with the electrification of vehicles and changes in materials due to environmental considerations, solutions that are not extensions of existing wisdom and improvements are being sought. Additionally, many downstream companies have been placing importance on open innovation utilizing external resources. In response to these needs, we believe that leveraging the development results of the Go-Tech (Support for Innovation) project will be beneficial. The advantages of participation include the ability to quickly and directly gather key points of the development results held by Go-Tech companies. Negotiations and meetings with Go-Tech companies interested in business discussions can be conducted immediately.

The largest gathering of manufacturing communication PR Points [Introducing a new business of Cornish Mold Bank (trademark registered) that combines unique sensors (defect information) with mold doctors (medical record information)!] Our company continues to achieve steady growth by focusing on advanced technology VE molds in metal press molds. We are commercializing advanced CFRTP molding press processing under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Go-Tech Project" (formerly Support for Innovation), with proven sales results. At this exhibition, we will showcase the research and development status of the defect evaluation sensor software for the second phase of the "Go-Tech Project." Main Brands Handled Mold Bank Business Description [Contributing to the prevention of defective products through continuous sensing of molded products during processing] The sensor system currently under development for detecting defect information in molds evaluates and predicts product defects within the press processing stage. Since used molds with unknown manufacturers can become assets, our company is known as the "mold doctor" in the used mold market, boasting a unique position. We are working on a new business that combines unique sensors (defect information) with mold doctors (medical record information) = Cornish Mold Bank (trademark registered).

【Mold Abnormality Detection System & General Repair Service】 Detects defective products (warping, distortion) during processing using image processing. Worn or degraded molds can be repaired even if the manufacturer or model number is unknown. Adopted by automotive parts and air conditioning equipment manufacturers. Received the Excellence Award at the 4th Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award. 【Exhibited Products, Technical Strengths, and Features】 The sensor system mounted on molds, currently under development, evaluates defects through Deep Learning that has learned data on both good and defective products, allowing for preemptive measures against defects. Additionally, it features the visualization of defects on the production floor through image processing. The strength of the "Mold Doctor" lies in its nearly half-century of experience in surgical (repair and modification of foreign molds), enabling it to handle repairs and modifications of used molds from other companies without drawings. 【Usage Scenarios】 Modification and repair of molds with zero defect rates aimed at production sites and molds of unknown manufacturers or transferred molds. 【User Benefits】 Enables optimal defect evaluation at a craftsman level. Approaches zero defects during press processing production.
