• Other production management systems

Easily simulate the optimal production plan for weaving. You can view production schedules, daily yarn requirements, shipping plans, and the status of delivery delays.

By changing the machine's rotation speed and operating rate, the scheduled completion date can be automatically adjusted, and production plans can be simulated. By placing orders on the loom, the requirements for beams and the planned usage of weft yarns are automatically calculated. It is equipped with a standard function to change only the weft yarn with a single beam to produce a different item number. It can be linked with monitoring systems and beam stockers. (※Individual support available)

Introducing implementation steps by issue for promoting DX in factories! Achieving productivity improvement through the use of production schedulers, performance collection, and information boards (signage).

The key to visualizing the factory is to correctly understand your company's challenges and implement systems that match the phase, which is the secret to success. The currently distributed document "Factory Visualization: Secrets to Success - Unveiling the Implementation Steps!" organizes the points of factory visualization and introduces the specific systems that should be addressed now. <Overview of the Document> ▶Organizing the challenges of promoting visualization ▶Points of visualization ▶Utilization of production schedulers ▶Utilization of performance collection ▶Utilization of information boards (signage) ▶Case studies <Essential for companies facing these challenges!> - Work schedules are distributed on paper, making it difficult to share sudden changes. - Input omissions and calculation errors occur with batch daily report entries. - Unable to smoothly arrange processes due to lack of understanding of the status of preceding and succeeding processes.

• Production Management System

A production scheduler that automatically formulates short-term plans for engineering, lines, equipment, etc.

【Small Schedule】Production Scheduler Series ○ Load Adjustment with Stacking and Unstacking【Anchor Hybrid】 In addition to intuitive screen operations using Gantt charts, it supports scheduling that takes load into account, such as stacking and unstacking in a block-like manner. With simple master settings and standard external interface integration, it is a production scheduler that is highly compatible with on-site operations. ○ Automatic Schedule Planning Based on Production Capacity【Anchor Multi】 This is a user-friendly production scheduler that achieves the operability, visibility, and high responsiveness required in production sites. It allows for scheduling of processes and equipment usage considering load for each order while simulating production plans in a conversational format. ○ Simulation of Optimal Production Plans for the Textile Industry and Weaving Layouts【Texas Weaving Layout System】 By changing the equipment's rotation speed and operating rate, the expected completion date is automatically adjusted, allowing for simulation of production plans. As a result of the simulation, expected production output, required yarn quantity, and beam change schedules can be viewed at any time.

Visualizing production status in real time.

You can extract data from various systems and display information by department on the screen. By inputting actual results, the progress of preceding and succeeding processes is displayed in real-time, achieving "visualization" of the production site and further promoting the "paperless" transformation of the entire factory. 【Progress Status at a Glance】 Production schedules and shipping plans are displayed clearly, and as actual results are updated, the progress status can be grasped in real-time. Additionally, the work status of preceding and succeeding processes can also be understood, facilitating smooth setup, and enabling early detection of issues such as delivery delays, allowing for prompt responses. 【Initiatives for DX and SDGs】 By transitioning from paper-based analog operations for sharing work content and instructions to utilizing electronic data, we promote the paperless transformation of the entire factory and support the first steps towards the factory's DX and SDGs. 【Choice from Multiple Templates】 You can visualize your company’s needs using various templates for progress status, alerts, inventory status, internal announcements, and more. It is possible to display details by department, efficiently strengthening awareness of business operations.

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.

● 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.

In the field of collaborative robots, there is a demand for reduced startup labor, energy efficiency, and safe yet flexible handling performance. In particular, reliance on compressed air systems and complex wiring and piping can pose challenges during installation and operation. Piab's "piCOBOT Electric for ABB GoFa" is a plug-and-play electric vacuum gripper solution optimized specifically for ABB GoFa. Its all-electric design generates vacuum using only electricity, eliminating the need for compressed air. This enables the creation of a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient collaborative robot cell. Furthermore, by adopting ABB GoFa-specific software plugins, designated cables, and standard ISO machine interfaces, smooth integration into the ABB control environment is possible. This supports rapid startup and stable operation. Read the article here: https://www.piab.com/ja-jp/news/piab-launches-picobot-electric-for-abb-gofa

We have added the DL material "Explained in Manga! Let's Prevent Technical Information Leakage to the Outside with CrackProof Software Protection!" to the DNP Hypertech site. In the manufacturing industry, there is a growing awareness of measures against the leakage of technical information. Many companies seem to have already established sufficient rules and measures for information protection when exchanging data with external parties. However, when it comes to cases where in-house software suffers from cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering) and information leaks occur, the current measures are still not adequate. We have explained the measures against technical information leakage through software protection in an easy-to-understand manga format. Please take a look.
