2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment. Adopting CAD software that bridges 2D and 3D for outstanding mass production line design in car manufacturing.

At Mazda Corporation, we have been using CAD software with high market share and free CAD software, but both had challenges, and we were looking for a product to transition to. As a 2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment, we introduced 'BricsCAD', which we provide. Utilizing a licensing system that can be used globally, it is also being utilized at overseas production sites. Additionally, by using "BricsCAD Communicator," we are streamlining the process of converting 3D part design data created with high-end CAD into 2D CAD. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ A CAD software that is compatible with 3D, 2D, and architectural CAD is needed. ■ The cost of traditional paid software is high, leading to a shortage. ■ Free CAD software causes disruptions in business due to bugs and other issues. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system 'ACAD-DENKI' Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By introducing our developed and sold electrical design CAD 'ACAD-DENKI', they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled data utilization for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. We have conducted multiple proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, and are advancing further data integration. [Challenges before introduction] - Reducing mistakes and losses in design operations - Pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD - Utilizing design data for subsequent processes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design? We will answer such questions! Here’s an introduction using "ACAD-DENKI" as an example.

We will hold a webinar titled "Introduction to CAD for Electrical Design" to solve the problems faced by electrical designers. Dear electrical designers, "Checking drawings is done on paper. It takes time and is prone to errors..." "The way drawings are created varies by person in charge. There is a lack of consistency, which increases the effort needed for corrections..." "I manually extract parts. Ordering mistakes happen frequently..." Do you have any such challenges or concerns? This webinar will provide clear answers to the question, "What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design?" [Overview] ■ Date and Time: Please check this page for the next schedule. https://www.alfatech.jp/seminar/acad-denki_webinar.html ■ Method: Online via Zoom ■ Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) ■ Capacity: 20 participants ■ Registration Deadline: Three days before the event date (Please note that registration may close before the deadline if capacity is reached) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

In civil engineering sites during extreme heat, the surface temperature of the ground plates and the heat reflection significantly affect the working environment. In particular, steel plates tend to retain heat when exposed to sunlight, posing challenges for workers' heatstroke prevention and safety management. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT. As wooden ground plates, they can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways, making them a versatile alternative to steel plates in various civil engineering sites. In actual sites, there are cases where the surface temperature differs by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates, making them effective as a solution for heat prevention and reflection suppression. The 5×10 plate weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of transportation, installation, and removal. They are materials that easily promote noise reduction, CO2 fixation, and environmental consideration unique to wood. Registered as a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS technology "TH-250021-A," they can also be utilized for creative ideas and safety measures in public works. They are recommended for companies looking to reassess the summer site environment. We also accept inquiries for consultations and requests for materials tailored to site conditions. We can propose solutions for temporary plans during summer for both public and private civil engineering projects. Please feel free to consult with us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks 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.
