i-PROW offers attractive customization flexibility and contributes to improving awareness of delivery deadlines.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the production management system "i-PROW" at Kyowa Seiko Co., Ltd. Before the introduction of i-PROW, there was a system in place for parts processing, but it seems that utilizing the information from the system was not being done effectively. After the implementation, the way internal notifications were handled changed. 【Case Overview】 ■ Before Implementation - As of 2014, planning was done manually, and input tasks took more than half a day. ■ After Implementation - By simply inputting internal notification information, it is reflected in the system, allowing for planning and seamless work instructions.

Cataracts are a common condition that significantly impacts daily life, causing many people to struggle. However, cataract surgery can restore or greatly improve patients' vision. KNF vacuum pumps are an essential component of the medical devices used for such precise surgeries. KNF offers a diverse lineup of diaphragm pumps for cataract surgery. For debris removal, the N 813 is a strong option. It achieves a maximum vacuum of 0.5 mbar (absolute), a maximum flow rate of 13 l/min, and a maximum pressure of 0.3 bar (relative). The N 813 provides stable, reliable performance with a compact design. It can be equipped with a customizable state-of-the-art BLDC motor that enables precise flow control. Its configuration and motor allow for low-speed operation, ensuring the necessary flow rate and vacuum for cataract surgery while reducing noise and vibration.
