We will be exhibiting at the '2023 First Tekko Kiden DX Meeting'.

Introducing implementation steps by issue for promoting DX in factories! Achieving productivity improvement through the use of production schedulers, performance collection, and information boards (signage).

The key to visualizing the factory is to correctly understand your company's challenges and implement systems that match the phase, which is the secret to success. The currently distributed document "Factory Visualization: Secrets to Success - Unveiling the Implementation Steps!" organizes the points of factory visualization and introduces the specific systems that should be addressed now. <Overview of the Document> ▶Organizing the challenges of promoting visualization ▶Points of visualization ▶Utilization of production schedulers ▶Utilization of performance collection ▶Utilization of information boards (signage) ▶Case studies <Essential for companies facing these challenges!> - Work schedules are distributed on paper, making it difficult to share sudden changes. - Input omissions and calculation errors occur with batch daily report entries. - Unable to smoothly arrange processes due to lack of understanding of the status of preceding and succeeding processes.

• Production Management System

Easily simulate the optimal production plan for weaving. You can view production schedules, daily yarn requirements, shipping plans, and the status of delivery delays.

By changing the machine's rotation speed and operating rate, the scheduled completion date can be automatically adjusted, and production plans can be simulated. By placing orders on the loom, the requirements for beams and the planned usage of weft yarns are automatically calculated. It is equipped with a standard function to change only the weft yarn with a single beam to produce a different item number. It can be linked with monitoring systems and beam stockers. (※Individual support available)

• Production Management System

AI instantly searches for similar drawings! "Anyone can easily and quickly" search for drawings.

The "AI Drawing Search System" allows even young employees with little experience and know-how to instantly search for similar drawings using AI. <Recommended for companies that:> ■ Spend too much time searching for drawings ■ Want to instantly search past achievements ■ Conduct custom production and want to reference similar drawings <Product Features> ▶ Supports 2D and 3D drawings By handling both 2D (flat) and 3D (solid) drawings, it can be utilized for a wide range of drawing data. ▶ Supports multi-page drawings If a drawing has multiple pages, as long as one page contains a highly similar drawing, it will be searched as a drawing with a high match rate. ▶ Match rate of drawings is easily visible The AI engine scores the match rate. The interface visually displays the score. ▶ Whole and partial searches / Two-stage searches are possible You can search for just one part of a drawing, as well as search the entire drawing. ▶ Registration of metadata (unique information) is possible When registering a vast amount of past drawing data into the database, customers can easily register it themselves, reducing costs for outsourced work.

• Other production management systems

It is a sales management system "specialized" for the entire textile industry, from upstream (raw cotton, raw yarn) to downstream (apparel).

We support various forms of business processing from raw yarn to dyed fabric and apparel, providing comprehensive backup for companies in the textile industry. We also accommodate foreign currency transactions and multilingual displays, offering strong support for companies expanding overseas. ■ We implement necessary functions as a trading company. We cater to companies managing consignment and contract agreements. ■ We handle various forms of business processing from raw yarn to dyed fabric and apparel. ■ Management is possible in two types of units (rolls/meters, etc.).

• Other production management systems

By creating a organizational chart, pattern diagram, and layout diagram, and conducting design simulations, it is possible to grasp the design image of the fabric before weaving.

■Efficiency improvement in the creation and modification of weaving diagrams You can easily create pattern diagrams and pulling diagrams from organizational charts, as well as perform design simulations. Not only can you create weaving diagrams from scratch, but you can also shorten the creation time by utilizing previously created data. ■Support for both dobby and jacquard weaving diagrams You can create various textile designs, including stripes, checks, dobby patterns, and jacquard patterns. ■Output product images and use them for proposals It is possible to output product image data from the created weaving diagrams. This can be utilized for sharing images during business negotiations.

• Production Management System

Visualizing production status in real time.

You can extract data from various systems and display information by department on the screen. By inputting actual results, the progress of preceding and succeeding processes is displayed in real-time, achieving "visualization" of the production site and further promoting the "paperless" transformation of the entire factory. 【Progress Status at a Glance】 Production schedules and shipping plans are displayed clearly, and as actual results are updated, the progress status can be grasped in real-time. Additionally, the work status of preceding and succeeding processes can also be understood, facilitating smooth setup, and enabling early detection of issues such as delivery delays, allowing for prompt responses. 【Initiatives for DX and SDGs】 By transitioning from paper-based analog operations for sharing work content and instructions to utilizing electronic data, we promote the paperless transformation of the entire factory and support the first steps towards the factory's DX and SDGs. 【Choice from Multiple Templates】 You can visualize your company’s needs using various templates for progress status, alerts, inventory status, internal announcements, and more. It is possible to display details by department, efficiently strengthening awareness of business operations.
