"Production Reform and On-Site Improvement Strengthening Seminar for Manufacturing and Logistics Industries" Nissan Motor × DHL Supply Chain - Here are hints for production reform and on-site improvement strengthening from two global companies taking on the challenge!

Free sample software giveaway! This is an improvement tool developed at Nissan Motor Corporation that aims to enhance profitability by improving revenue and visualizing the workplace.

Reavirtry is a production capacity simulator that designs production lines with optimal specifications and supports the efficiency of line operations in daily production environments. Developed by Nissan Motor Corporation, it has a proven track record in applications such as predicting equipment utilization rates during line specification considerations, comparing production capacities, identifying bottleneck processes, and forecasting production numbers linked to line operation monitors. ■Please contact us if you would like a sample software■

[With simulation video] Experience a realistic recreation of current and future manufacturing and logistics sites; please watch the 3D logistics simulation.

RaLC is our original logistics simulation software that enables the preliminary verification of new logistics system establishment/reconstruction plans. It realistically reproduces the current and future logistics sites in a virtual space, making visible the issues and areas for improvement, such as potential bottlenecks and waste.

Building a 3D simulation model of the logistics site.

The logistics simulation software RaLC allows for the construction of 3D simulation models of logistics sites and enables various analyses through diverse output reports. Its basic operability conforms to Windows, making model creation easy with mouse operations. The fundamental operations of logistics are library-ized as units, and the simulation results can be viewed numerically through a wealth of reports. For more details, please contact us.

• Production Management System

Enhanced tool features and palette-related functions.

The logistics simulation software RaLC has completed operation verification and necessary modifications for Windows 7, and has now started offering an English version. Features for outputting DXF format files and importing Virfit files have been implemented, and pallet-related functions and tool features have also been enhanced. For more details, please contact us.

Example of simulation using RaLC

The logistics simulation software RaLC conducts simulations in the following manner to facilitate improvements on-site: 1. Determine the purpose of the simulation. 2. Prepare various data. 3. Create a model. 4. Execute the simulation and obtain results. 5. Analyze the simulation results. We will guide you through the actual flow of the simulation using part of a sample model. For more details, please contact us.

RaLC realizes the "five visualizations" of logistics sites.

Logistics simulation software RaLC is our original development that enables pre-validation of new or restructured logistics system plans. It realistically reproduces the current and future logistics environments in a virtual space, making visible the issues and improvement points such as latent bottlenecks and waste. For more details, please contact us.

Highlighting whether it is possible to accommodate the assumed volume and any issues related to it.

By utilizing computer simulation in the design and improvement of logistics operations, which have been previously conducted based on "experience and intuition," it is now possible to anticipate the effects in advance and quantitatively, thereby obtaining valuable information for decision-making. For more details, please contact us.

• Production Management System

Conducted simulations using actual shipping and receiving data on the model reproduced on RaLC.

To utilize the results of the logistics ABC (Activity Based Costing) analysis for work improvement, we will input location data (such as product names and quantities) from the WMS (Warehouse Management System) into a model recreated on RaLC and conduct simulations using actual inbound and outbound shipping data. This will allow us to verify the extent of the impact of the flow analysis results and location changes. For more details, please contact us.

• Production Management System

Effectively promote the strengths of our warehouse operations through animation on RaLC.

You can effectively showcase the strengths of your company's warehouse operations, such as managing shipping times, inventory management, and operational innovations, through animations on RaLC. It can also be used to explain the basis of the presented estimates and the validity of costs. For internal approvals during the establishment of new centers or layout changes, you can attach the simulation results from RaLC to your proposal documents, allowing stakeholders to understand the effects. For more details, please contact us.

Visualization of investment effects and improvement effects! 3D layout design simulator RaAP.

RaAP (Rapid Analysis and Planning) enables the analysis and visualization of manufacturing site layouts, equipment, personnel, processes, and workflows. By applying strategic methods that utilize 3D simulation technology, it guides customers in optimizing their operations, uncovering improvement points hidden in manufacturing environments such as factories and production lines, in addition to relying on intuition and experience. Improving challenges in manufacturing often incurs "time" and "cost." When attempting to implement the CAP-Do cycle in the field, there are many cases where things do not go smoothly. RaAP is widely used as a tool for improvement verification in production technology and manufacturing departments. By instantly displaying production equipment, worker procedures, and workflows in 3D from the entire manufacturing site on a computer, it makes problems and areas for improvement more visible, promoting integration between management and the field.

Komatsu puts into practice! A case filled with know-how that achieved surprising cost reduction and productivity improvement is available for free download.

Komatsu, a leader in construction and heavy machinery worldwide under the "KOMATSU" brand, is focused on improving quality, reliability, and production efficiency by harnessing the power of identifying challenges on-site (on-site capability). To visualize the diverse range of vehicle types and specifications produced, and to quickly and accurately grasp improvement opportunities, the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is essential. Since 2000, we have implemented the logistics improvement system "RaLC" from CEC, utilizing it in the logistics system department for proposals and in the production technology department for optimizing production line verification. Since April 2010, by introducing CEC's logistics improvement system "RaLC," we have been able to monitor the position and movement of forklifts in real-time. By visualizing the logistics vehicles operating within the facility, we aim to achieve continuous logistics improvement, further cost reduction, and increased productivity. ■We will also hold seminars related to this case. You can apply through the survey at the bottom■

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
