The content of the BricsCAD case study currently being presented has been updated.

We will introduce the secret behind achieving "initiatives for realizing DX" that are in sync with the field.

■Do you have any of the following concerns? - You are progressing with DX preparations but feel a disconnect with the on-site team. - You are not effectively utilizing drawing data. - The workload in the manufacturing site is increasing, and there is a shortage of manpower. In the control panel manufacturing sector, improving work efficiency due to a serious labor shortage has become a challenge, and like other manufacturing industries, there is an urgent need to respond to DX. However, many companies may still be clinging to traditional methods and struggling to prepare for DX. This case study will be useful for such companies.

We will introduce a case study filled with key points for replacing from major general-purpose CAD systems.

■Do you have any of these concerns? - I want to switch to a DWG-compatible CAD, but I don't know where to start. - I want the new CAD to be accepted and used by the field after the switch. - I don't know what evaluation points to consider during the switch. Many companies are considering replacing their CAD with a DWG-compatible one to reduce costs and improve CAD operations. However, even though it may seem simple to switch, there are surprisingly many factors to consider, such as how to proceed with the project and coordinate with the field. By looking at this case study, you can gain a concrete image of what the switch entails. Please feel free to download it. ■For CAD-related inquiries, please leave it to Zuken Alpha Tech.

Efforts to streamline electrical design using data and successfully fostering the groundwork for realizing DX at an early stage.

Implementing Company: Aime Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Business Description: Design/Manufacturing/Testing of Control Devices and Distribution Boards ■Challenges Before Implementation Operations and management were paper-based without attribute information assigned to drawings. Standardization of design was not achieved. There was a heavy reliance on customization, leading to a lack of scalability. ■Reasons for Implementing ACAD-DENKI Ability to use drawing functions of AutoCAD/BricsCAD, providing high flexibility and ease of implementation on-site. Data utilization through the assignment of attribute information is possible. A wide range of built-in standard functions allows for operation without relying on customization. ■Specific Initiatives Improved search efficiency through the addition of properties. Organized the parts master, limiting manual input to order elements only. Integration with parts procurement lists and production management systems. Collaboration with manufacturing for equipment label data, etc. ■Effects As a result of these initiatives, a reduction of 14 to 20 hours of labor per order was achieved. Manual tasks were eliminated, leading to improved accuracy, standardization of work, and increased efficiency. From this experience, a foundation for utilizing data over manual work has been cultivated within the company for the past ten years, enabling smooth progress towards digital transformation (DX).

CLT is known as a building material, but its applications are not limited to just buildings. The wooden lightweight mat "Hyper CLT Mat" is a new option for utilizing CLT in civil engineering. It can be used as a wooden mat in places where steel plates have been the norm, such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 mat is relatively light at about 230 kg, making it easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers different values compared to steel, such as reducing glare and metallic noise, as well as CO2 fixation through wood. Moreover, the Hyper CLT Mat is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as a NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." It can also be utilized for proposals involving the use of new technologies and environmental considerations in public works. From construction to civil engineering, the new use of wood is expanding in the form of wooden lightweight mats.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in 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 Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks 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.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.
