The appeal of DX Suite is not just in its precision! A case where a new department was established with the freed-up resources.

We would like to introduce a case study of Sugiyohouen, a sixth-sector industrialization company that consistently manufactures and sells products such as honey, royal jelly, and propolis, as well as cosmetics, which has implemented "DX Suite." For each registration, two operators performed manual input twice, resulting in a total of two entries, and the increase in the number of stores led to an excessive amount of manual input work. After implementation, the number of operators was reduced, resulting in approximately six hours of time savings per day. Additionally, with the freed-up resources, a new analysis department was established. [Case Overview] ■ Target Document: Membership Registration Form ■ Before - For each registration, two operators performed manual input twice - The increase in the number of stores led to excessive manual input work ■ After - Reduced the number of operators while achieving approximately six hours of time savings per day - Established a new analysis department with the freed-up resources *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Verification with 2,000 forms. Through supportive assistance, a smooth transition to a reliable production implementation!

In order to respond to the diversifying medical needs, Alcare Co., Ltd. continues to challenge itself with the evolution of technology and the development of new products. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted "DX Suite" to digitize the remaining paper forms. They had been requesting customers to send data instead of FAX, but due to various circumstances, some FAX communications remained. After conducting a trial, they decided to implement "DX Suite" due to its high reading accuracy. "We absolutely cannot make mistakes with order forms, so we prioritize accuracy above all else, and it was truly great that this requirement was met," they commented. [Case Overview] ■ Target Form: Order Form ■ Implemented Product: DX Suite ■ Purpose: Digitization of remaining paper forms *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Implemented nationwide at group locations! Successfully reduced approximately 60% of business hours.

Founded in 1905, Kobe Steel, Ltd. (KOBELCO), a major steel manufacturer engaged not only in steel production but also in machinery manufacturing and power generation, has implemented "DX Suite" to improve the efficiency of data entry operations across its nationwide locations. Many locations were burdened by paper-based data entry tasks, which took approximately 1,200 hours per year for internal survey data entry. After implementation, the company successfully reduced operational time by about 60%. By using the same tool across the organization, knowledge was accumulated, and sharing of usage methods became easier. 【Case Overview】 ■ Before - Many locations were burdened by paper-based data entry tasks. - Internal survey data entry took 1,200 hours per year. ■ After - Successfully reduced operational time by about 60%. - Knowledge was accumulated by using the same tool across the organization. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have started accepting inquiries for demonstrations and on-site evaluations of the non-contact, camera-less monitoring sensor "MotionCatch" for factory and worksite break rooms, overnight rooms, and solo workspaces. **Features of MotionCatch:** - Detects human movement non-contact using millimeter-wave radar and AI. - No cameras used and zero video recording. Provides privacy-conscious monitoring. - Palm-sized. Simply install on walls or ceilings without the need for wiring (USB powered, Wi-Fi). - The detection range of one unit is approximately 6m x 4m. It is suitable for monitoring "room units" rather than entire floors. We envision installation in rooms where placing cameras is difficult, such as break rooms, rest areas, overnight rooms, and solo workspaces. We are accepting inquiries for demo units, on-site evaluations, and confirmation of installation conditions. *Note: No video is recorded. This product is designed to assist monitoring and is not a medical device.*

When considering creativity and ingenuity in public works, it is important not only to think about "what was used," but also "what issues at the site were addressed by its adoption." Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in areas such as worker pathways, rest areas, access routes, and material yards, they can address site-specific challenges such as heat reflection in summer, noise reduction, improvement of work flow, and environmental considerations. Additionally, they can be proposed from perspectives different from traditional steel plates, such as CO2 fixation through wood and consideration for the landscape. There is also the option to use them partially in specific areas where effectiveness is desired, rather than implementing them throughout the entire site. Hyper CLT sheets are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." They can be utilized in civil engineering projects that aim to concretely demonstrate unique creativity and ingenuity by combining NETIS, new technologies, and wood utilization.

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

● 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 one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
