Announcement of the Grand Prize Winner of the "Kyoto Chie Entrepreneur Award 2023"

Utilization of AI for KY (Danger Prediction) activities - AI suggests labor accident cases and danger points, improving workers' risk sensitivity and reducing labor accident risks.

HACARUS Workplace Safety for KY (HACARUS KY) is an application that allows the creation of KY sheets on smartphones, tablets, and PCs. AI displays labor accident risks and similar labor accident cases tailored to the specific conditions of each site, enabling anyone to easily conduct effective KY activities.

AI automatically detects defects in metal parts and other items using only good products! AI visual inspection is now possible for complex shapes like die-castings, which could only be inspected visually before.

The AI visual inspection system "HACARUS Check" is an all-in-one package that automatically detects defects in workpieces using "collaborative robots + cameras with lighting + high-performance AI." It can be implemented as a one-stop solution from imaging with robots and cameras to AI's OK/NG judgment. With the ability to conduct 360-degree inspections, it is suitable for complex-shaped workpieces such as die-cast and machined products, achieving reductions in inspection labor and standardization of quality. ■ Target Workpieces Small automotive parts, die-casting, metalworking and processing, press processing, plating, bearings, textiles, rubber, resin, plastics, ceramics, etc. ■ Features 1. 360-Degree Inspection The 6-axis robotic arm, illuminated ring lighting, and rotating lift platform work together to detect defects in hard-to-image areas. 2. Small Quantity, Good Quality, Fast Learning AI Thanks to HACARUS's unique AI technology, there is no need to collect defective product data; a high-precision AI can be quickly built from a small amount of good product data. 3. Easy Installation Compact design, operates on 100V power supply. Overall dimensions: 1555mm × 740mm × 860mm (fixed with caster-mounted adjusters). *For more details, please visit the product's special website below.⬇︎

Usable on-site! HACARUS's "Small Quantity Quality Product Speed Learning" AI Visual Inspection Software

HACARUS Check AI software enables high-precision visual inspections using AI. Our uniquely developed "small quantity good product speed learning" AI does not require defective product data or a GPU. It excels in inspections that were difficult with traditional rule-based methods, such as for metal plates, rubber products, fabric materials, and leather materials, and can be used without any knowledge of AI. If you are struggling with visual inspections or have existing inspection equipment and are having trouble handling AI, please feel free to contact us. If you do not have an imaging device, we can provide suggestions. ■ Features - High precision results with a small amount of good product data: just a few dozen good product images are sufficient, with learning time of only a few minutes. - Understandable AI reasoning: the reasoning behind decisions can be explained, allowing for further application and development. - Fast and low power consumption: no GPU required, can be executed in your existing environment. <Software Pricing> First year: 3 million yen Subsequent years: 960,000 yen/year

Are you struggling with additional costs and delays due to mold cracking, chipping, or excessive tool wear during press forming? Simply simulating the formability of product shapes does not adequately assess the risks on the mold side. Therefore, an effective approach is to combine this with mold load analysis using the analysis software "DEFORM." - Damage Prevention: Visualization of maximum principal stress to identify risk areas for mold cracking and chipping - Improved Lifespan: Predicting the progression of tool wear to support optimal maintenance cycles and material selection - Quality Stability: Precisely simulating variations in thickness and bending accuracy For more details, please refer to the related link.

This time, I will explain the differences in roles between the "accounting system" and the "document management system," which are surprisingly not well-known, as well as points that are often overlooked in legal compliance. ■ The difference between accounting systems and document management systems is their "scope of coverage." - Accounting System = Management of "money (numbers)" - Document Management System = Management of "evidence (documents)" ■ Documents often overlooked by accounting systems The accounting system primarily focuses on "accounting processing." - "Estimates" where no money movement occurs - "Delivery notes" and "purchase orders," which are intermediate points in transactions ⇒ There are cases where these are not stored or managed within the accounting system. This could be considered a deficiency under the Electronic Bookkeeping Preservation Act. ■ Supplementing the missing parts with an "independent system" While there are high-function ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems that can manage everything from estimates to invoicing seamlessly, the reality is that the cost can be a significant barrier to implementation. Therefore, managing documents with an independent document management system like paperlogic is also an option. Paperlogic is currently offering a free trial. Please feel free to contact us.
