[Case Study] No need to run to call the next truck while waiting to unload industrial waste at the recycling center!

This is a case study of using "One-Touch Call" for truck waiting in line at our company. The truck that delivered the goods receives a One-Touch Call at the reception, and when the processing yard is available, we contact them via walkie-talkie, call them with the One-Touch Call, and proceed with unloading. Previously, we would run to the truck to call them when it was their turn. Even when we asked for their mobile number to call, there were times when it didn't work due to "busy" signals or "privacy issues." With the introduction of One-Touch Call, smoother guidance has become possible! 【Implementation Effects】 ■ No need to run to the truck to call them ■ Can call immediately when it's their turn, reducing waiting time ■ No need to ask for personal mobile numbers, ensuring privacy ■ No call charges since there are no phone calls *For more details, please see the link to the 'Recycling Center Case Study Article.'

Supply of materials, forklift call. [Case study of factory introduction in the construction industry]

【Introduction Factory】 Construction Industry Factory 【Purpose】 Forklift call for supply of materials 【Calling Area】 Approximately 60m x 60m. Spanning two buildings. 【Situation】 Forklifts are circulating in that area, but there are times when they are working outside the buildings. When a supply of materials occurs and there is no forklift nearby, workers have to go out of their way to call for one. 【Operation】 ★ Two FA-10 transmitters and receivers are installed on each of the two forklifts. Manages calls from 1 to 20. A converter that can draw 100V from a battery is installed for power supply, providing electricity from the forklift. Forklifts can recognize when each other has processed a call. 【Implementation Effects】 ★ Workers no longer have to go out of their way to call for a forklift. ★ The number of people "waiting" for a forklift to arrive without going to call one has decreased, leading to improved production efficiency. ★ Forklifts can process requests conveniently from locations close to where they are called. This has received positive feedback.

I have compiled a video summarizing the basic operation of the wireless andon system in the factory.

This is an introduction to a wireless Andon system that plays an active role in factories, such as calling staff and sending error signals. This time, it consists of a liquid crystal portable transmitter and receiver and a device that transmits numbers in red, green, and yellow. We have summarized how to use it in a simple video. Please take a look. ↓ Equipment Configuration ↓ 【Transmitter】 ■ Slim-type transmitter for factory use (with LED lighting and long press erase function) (STR-S) Gray/red display (G-EN-L), gray/yellow display (G-YN-L), black/green display (B-CN-L) ■ Andon transmitter (ATR-001) 【Receiver】 ■ Liquid crystal portable transmitter and receiver (ARE-001) Video Content: - Pressing the button on the transmitter displays the number on the receiver (red, green, yellow display) - Displaying and erasing the call number on the receiver - Operation when called again from the same transmitter - How the erase signal from the receiver interacts with other receivers and more.

Where and when you are called, and when you respond. Analyzing log data to visualize potential issues. An easily implementable wireless Andon system.

When a problem occurs, the operator presses the "transmitter." The number will be displayed on the "receiver display," and the relief man will go to the location of the called number and respond in order. By long-pressing the "transmitter," the number will disappear. By connecting the receiver display to a computer with a LAN cable, log data can be managed. 【Benefits】 By accumulating and analyzing data on when and where calls were made and when they were cleared, we can determine: - Who is calling for relief the most. - Which process is calling for relief the most. - The time taken to resolve issues. - Locations that are not pressed at all. This allows previously unseen problems to be visualized, leading to increased efficiency.

In recent years, the implementation of maintenance DX to achieve "non-stop factories" has become an urgent necessity in manufacturing sites. Amid the trend of factory IoT and data utilization, the use of remote I/O, which can remotely aggregate and collect sensor information and control signals from equipment and sensors dispersed inside and outside the factory, is gaining importance as a foundation for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. On the other hand, the installation environment for remote I/O is not necessarily limited to control panels or well-conditioned factory interiors. There is an increasing need to collect data in harsh environments, such as outdoor equipment and conditions involving high temperatures, low temperatures, vibrations, and strong electrical noise. Conventional remote I/O systems have struggled to operate stably under such conditions, requiring measures like installation location constraints and additional protective enclosures. Environmentally robust remote I/O with wide temperature support and noise resistance can address these challenges, enabling the expansion of the scope of factory IoT and predictive maintenance to outdoor and remote equipment. In this seminar, we will introduce the lineup of Contec's environmentally robust remote I/O, the "CONPROSYS(R) Robust I/O Series," which includes a total of 23 products.
