【Effects of ACAD-DENKI Implementation】 No more mistakes! Time has been shortened! We will introduce cases of successful improvements and increased efficiency!

【Client】 Control Device, Power Distribution Board Manufacturer, Company A, Technical Department 【Background of ACAD-DENKI Introduction】 The client was considering updating their CAD system due to the aging of hardware, including servers. However, it became clear that the costs associated with hardware updates, such as OS and software upgrades and the migration of customizations, would be significant, leading to a plan for a fundamental review. They compared multiple electrical CAD systems, including ACAD-DENKI, by borrowing them for practical evaluation. The key points of consideration included the implementation of feasible functions for new initiatives, the extent to which current operations could be conducted without customization, and the responsiveness of the manufacturer and distributor. As a result of this evaluation, they decided to introduce ACAD-DENKI. 【Reasons for Choosing ACAD-DENKI】 ● It excelled in maintenance tasks such as adding attributes and system updates within the standard package. ● They could perceive the potential for data utilization, expandability, and future growth through attributes. ● It allowed for detailed settings during drafting, which was expected to improve drafting efficiency. ● They appreciated the user-oriented approach in considering solutions for their requests.

What are the attractions of electrical CAD widely used in the electric manufacturing industry!?

■How does it compare to other companies' electrical CAD? 1. It is the No. 1 electrical CAD in Japan based on .dwg. 2. It is a user-oriented electrical CAD that reflects customer requests in the next version. 3. Staff with knowledge of electrical design provide early launch support and comprehensive assistance. 4. It is an electrical CAD that can flexibly accommodate customization. ■What is the difference between general-purpose CAD and ACAD-DENKI? 【In the case of general-purpose CAD】 1. General-purpose CAD takes time to create drawings. 2. General-purpose CAD cannot reuse data. 3. Necessary information cannot be extracted from general-purpose CAD. 4. All drawing checks are done visually with general-purpose CAD. 【In the case of ACAD-DENKI】 1. Efficiently creates drawings using electrical-specific commands. 2. Eliminates waste during drawing creation with commands that support reuse design. 3. Extracts information from drawings and automatically creates parts lists and From-To lists. 4. Automatically checks multiple drawings.

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system 'ACAD-DENKI' Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By introducing our developed and sold electrical design CAD 'ACAD-DENKI', they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled data utilization for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. We have conducted multiple proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, and are advancing further data integration. [Challenges before introduction] - Reducing mistakes and losses in design operations - Pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD - Utilizing design data for subsequent processes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design? We will answer such questions! Here’s an introduction using "ACAD-DENKI" as an example.

We will hold a webinar titled "Introduction to CAD for Electrical Design" to solve the problems faced by electrical designers. Dear electrical designers, "Checking drawings is done on paper. It takes time and is prone to errors..." "The way drawings are created varies by person in charge. There is a lack of consistency, which increases the effort needed for corrections..." "I manually extract parts. Ordering mistakes happen frequently..." Do you have any such challenges or concerns? This webinar will provide clear answers to the question, "What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design?" [Overview] ■ Date and Time: Please check this page for the next schedule. https://www.alfatech.jp/seminar/acad-denki_webinar.html ■ Method: Online via Zoom ■ Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) ■ Capacity: 20 participants ■ Registration Deadline: Three days before the event date (Please note that registration may close before the deadline if capacity is reached) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

There are times when people think, "A wooden mat is weak against rain, isn't it?" The Hyper CLT mat is a lightweight wooden mat that utilizes wood CLT and is used even at civil engineering sites during rainy weather. By laying it down in temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas, it helps reduce the area where vehicles and heavy machinery run directly on muddy ground, ensuring smooth movement on site. The 5×10 panel weighs about 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate according to weather conditions and construction progress. Of course, it is important to check site conditions such as ground stability, slope, mud, slipping, and shifting during rainy weather. The Hyper CLT mat is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." As a lightweight wooden mat that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, it offers a new option to support the ground at the site even on rainy days.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
