[New Feature Details Now Available] Supports data utilization in the familiar .dwg format. Reduces "errors" and "losses" in electrical control design.

■Do you have such issues? Mistakes and time loss occur in paper-based inspection and parts aggregation. Inconsistent drawing styles lead to non-uniformity in diagrams. Data integration is impossible, making it difficult to shorten the lead time from design to manufacturing. ■Are you spending time on operations like this? - Creating electrical diagrams with general-purpose CAD. - Manually checking relay contacts. - Manually picking parts and creating a separate parts list. - Clicking and editing IO addresses and comments one by one. The entire industry is being asked to reduce product size and wiring, leading to increased workload. However, the shortage of personnel is becoming serious, increasing the burden on each employee. To respond to future modular design needs, it is necessary to improve such manual electrical control design. By introducing ACAD-DENKI 2025, it is possible to solve the challenges you face. ■Features An operating experience that extends from AutoCAD/BricsCAD. Smooth data exchange with other companies. Free from paper drawings and markers. Options for collaboration with manufacturing. Customization support!

Wiring/measurement processing support system that can shorten 10% to 40% of the manufacturing process time.

"Wiring PLAN 2D/3D" is a wiring and measurement support system created with expertise familiar with the manufacturing site. ■ Do you have these concerns? ■ - Short manufacturing deadlines - Difficulty in training part-time employees - Hard to divide tasks even when busy It performs wiring and measurement processing from drawings created using the electrical and control design CAD system "ACAD-DENKI" and the 3D panel drawing software "3D Panel Drawing," outputting data that can be used with various wiring processing machines. The digitization of design and manufacturing information helps prevent errors in drawings and wiring lists (From-To lists, back diagrams, etc.), making management easier and contributing to time savings. ■ Features ■ ▼ Efficiency through data digitization of the manufacturing process. - Wiring information can be checked from circuit diagrams and implementation diagrams before manufacturing. - Preparation of wires, mark tubes, equipment labels, etc., can be done before the completion of the enclosure. ▼ Prevents dependency on individuals and eliminates variations in quality. - Tasks can be divided using wiring lists (From-To lists, back diagram lists, etc.). - A work method based on From-To information prevents variations in quality. * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Improvements were sought on the theme of "efficiency and cost reduction in the processes from design to manufacturing," so we introduced the Zuken Alphatec / panel wiring support system!

We are introducing the purpose of implementation (background of implementation), the reasons for choosing our system, and the effects of implementation. Originally, our main business was the design and manufacturing of control panels for our parent company, Nikko Co., Ltd. However, with the aim of future business expansion, we began manufacturing distribution boards and control panels for other companies. Nevertheless, since we were a latecomer in the market for other companies' products, competitiveness became a challenge. The management requested improvements with the theme of "efficiency and cost reduction in the processes from design to manufacturing," and the design group spent time gathering information while going through trial and error. ▼ Reasons for choosing Zuken Alphatech / Panel Wiring Support System - As a manufacturer (development/sales/support) of electrical control CAD, they had many years of experience and achievements. - In our pre-implementation verification, we identified the potential for a system that could "achieve efficiency from design to manufacturing." - A consistent support system was prepared from design to manufacturing operations, and we received accurate support from the pre-implementation stage. Please check the actual implementation effects through the related links below. For product details, please refer to the catalog.

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).

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
