Tōkei Densan has published a case study collection on pallet management systems, presenting concrete measures for improving logistics and reducing costs.

In bookkeeping management such as Excel, there is a frequent occurrence of mistakes in quantity counts by borrower, making it a challenging issue to achieve accurate quantity management.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" utilizes a chameleon code that allows for lending and returning via smartphone cameras. In logistics work environments, it can be easily implemented with just a smartphone app installation, and the app features a simple operation and a screen design with large text, making it user-friendly for everyone. Since everything is researched and developed in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project from proposal to installation and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - It takes too much time to confirm the number of pallets lent and returned and manage the records. - Due to total quantity management rather than individual management, the lending data does not match the return data, causing difficulties in matching the inventory. 【Case Studies of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Food ingredient manufacturing Company Name: Mitsui Sugar Co., Ltd.

To address both the need to transfer ownership information of pallet inventory due to changes in the business plan and the need to temporarily move or transfer inventory to a different location.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" adopts a chameleon code that allows for high-speed scanning of multiple items at once, making it suitable for inter-site transfers where large quantities are often moved. It is ideal for managing the lending and return of pallets and other logistics assets between business divisions during temporary busy periods. It is also implemented not only for pallet management but also for asset lending and rental management. Since everything is researched and 100% developed in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project from proposal to introduction and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - It takes too much time to record slips into the internal asset management system when lending and borrowing pallets between sites. 【Case Study of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Logistics Provider Company Name: Isuzu Logistics Managed Containers: Steel pallets dedicated to automotive parts, mesh pallets ---- If you have any concerns regarding pallet management, please feel free to contact us.

You can easily link the shipping pallets and the loaded products/items with a smartphone app. Detailed information about the invoices is compatible with data integration between systems.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" is a system that allows for the registration of the linkage between the barcode/QR code printed on the slip at the time of pallet rental and the chameleon code label attached to the pallet. By using the chameleon code for multiple pallets on the target slip, you can link them all at once through a single scan. Since everything is researched and 100% developed in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project from proposal to introduction and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - Unable to manage traceability because the rental pallets cannot be linked with the slip information. - While the pallets and slips are linked, each pallet is scanned individually during the linking process. 【Case Studies of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Agricultural business Company Name: National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Abbreviation: Zennoh, JA Zennoh) Managed Container: Plastic pallets specifically for food distribution (Type 11)---- If you have any concerns regarding pallet management, please feel free to contact us.

The inventory statuses that companies want to manage differ, and it is often a challenge that the inventory statuses that can be managed for standard packaged products are fixed.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" is a system that allows for bulk scanning and updating of multiple inventory statuses using a chameleon code. It can be utilized not only during lending and returning but also for updating the status to disposal during inventory checks, or for bulk scanning to update the status of pallets before cleaning to a pre-cleaning status. We have received many inquiries about wanting to implement this system not for pallet management purposes, but for inventory management purposes. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - It takes too much time to manage the status updates of pallet inventory. - The current system cannot add inventory status categories, making it unable to respond to changes in the business environment or operational changes. 【Introduction of case studies from implementing companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Agricultural business Company name: Zennoh Pearl Rice Co., Ltd.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods 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 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.
