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.

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■

Seiko Epson is offering a free collection of successful case studies on improving complex logistics operations and logistics hubs!

Seiko Epson Corporation announced its "Environmental Vision 2050" in June 2008, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the product and service lifecycle to one-tenth by 2050, and actively engages in environmental activities such as restoring and conserving biodiversity in collaboration with local communities. Since June 2009, the company has also initiated joint delivery operations with Epson Sales Corporation and Canon Marketing Japan Inc., expanding its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities across the group, with the goal of reducing CO2 emissions and improving logistics efficiency. As part of these efforts, the company is fundamentally reassessing the current state of its dispersed warehouses and logistics in Japan to reform its operations, enabling faster and more accurate delivery of Epson products to all customers. ■We are offering a free collection of successful case studies that cover initiatives by such companies that are resilient in the face of recession.■

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those facing sidewalks or roadways are particularly prone to dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Vehicle Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

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 to 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 you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
