The savior of "automation" in cutting processes! Is the generation and supply of cutting fluid left to the workers?

The "Raku-Rant ICS-3100" is an automatic supply device for cutting fluid that realizes the automation of "generation" and "supply" of cutting fluid. This product was born from improvement activities in the parts processing industry and was developed by professionals in machining. In fact, it complies with the little-known Water Supply Act, allowing it to be directly connected to the water supply. It contributes to "productivity improvement," which is crucial for our customers' survival. 【Features】 ■ Increases productivity by transforming the replenishment work of cutting fluid ■ Improves machine operating rates ■ Reduces the amount of concentrate used ■ Enhances workplace safety *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

No more manual coolant refills! The era of this has arrived!

"Raku-Rant" is an automatic coolant dilution supply device that: 1. Prepares coolant by diluting water-soluble cutting oil agents with water at a specified concentration (0-10%). 2. Supplies the coolant stored in the internal tank of the device to the machine tools via piping. 3. Maintains the coolant level in the coolant tank of the machine tools. It can automatically supply multiple machine tools and can dilute the concentrate with water at the specified concentration. 【Features】 ■ Capable of automatic supply to multiple machine tools ■ Dilutes concentrate and water at the specified concentration ■ Fully compliant with the Water Supply Act through water quality certification ■ Calendar timer function allows for setting supply and stop times by day of the week ■ Leakage sensor function automatically stops the system in case of liquid leakage *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Strong companies require strong talent! Eliminate unnecessary tasks and create a foundation that encourages employees to "think and act"! Successfully eliminated 7.5 hours of unnecessary work per day!

We conducted an interview with ISS Yamazaki Machinery Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Yamazaki Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), which has introduced the automatic dilution supply device for cutting fluid "Raku-Ranto" handled by Komatsu Steel Co., Ltd. At the company, the equipment frequently stopped for replenishing cutting fluid for machining. The combined task of diluting and replenishing cutting fluid took about 30 minutes each time, resulting in a waste of 450 minutes, or 7.5 hours, per day. Although it is a job that anyone can do, someone had to do it. After the introduction, the purchase cost of cutting oil decreased by about 20%, amounting to approximately 1 million yen per year. In addition, they have realized "unmanned continuous processing" by combining various automation devices, including a device for compressing chips, temperature management, and of course, devices for retrieving from lathes and storing in shelves using stacker cranes. "We cannot achieve automation without the automatic dilution supply device 'Raku-Ranto,'" was the feedback we received. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

【Key Points of This Seminar】 - What is "push-type"? The true nature of common waste in the workplace - Basic principles of pull production and steps for on-site implementation - The concept of "downstream pull" to reduce work-in-progress and inventory - Case studies of companies that have made improvements - Specific methods for establishing a small start 【Target Audience: Improvement leaders and management】 - Those who feel there is too much "overproduction," "bottlenecks," and "wasteful movements" in the workplace - Those struggling with the gap between production planning and actual work - Those looking for ways to sustain improvement activities - Those who want to know practical methods for implementing TPS (Toyota Production System) ~ Visualizing waste to achieve "just enough, when needed" ~ "Is your workplace being 'pushed'?" In the workplace, issues such as "produced but not used" and "work-in-progress overflowing and halting flow" are common. Many of these problems may stem from push-type production, where items are made "just in case" rather than "because they are needed." A chain moves easily when "pulled," but what happens when it is "pushed"? ── This is precisely the difference between push and pull. We will teach you the system of production that "does not overproduce and does not stagnate" based on the concept of "pull production."

**Seminar Points** Improvement means changing standards for the better. There can be no improvement where there are no standards. If there are no standards, start by creating them. Standards are "rules." What to decide are "procedures," "methods," and "timing." This seminar is focused on determining "procedures" and creating "work instruction documents." **"Without standards, there is no improvement" — Learning from Toyota's teachings on documentation in the workplace** The source of Toyota's strength lies in the concepts of "improvement" and "standardization." At the core of this is a culture of making insights and skills visible in the workplace and documenting them. In other words, it is a system of knowledge transfer through documentation. Relying on the experience and intuition of veterans can be a strength in the workplace, but it also carries the risk that quality may change when people change. By ensuring that everyone performs tasks in the same way, we can achieve the same quality products (good products) in the same amount of time. First and foremost, the development of "work instruction documents" is essential. When presenting work instruction documents in video format, it is also a prerequisite that this "foundational document" is well established. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

The "Team Cohesion and Team Strength Development Seminar" is an online seminar that provides techniques for demonstrating leadership that drives members and achieves results as a team. "Become a Leader Who Unites the Team from an Excellent Player" The cornerstone of the workplace is the leadership class, such as supervisors and team leaders. It is crucial for these individuals, who know the front lines, to demonstrate leadership that drives the work and leads the members. No matter how excellent a player is, if they work alone, they will only ever be as strong as one horsepower. It’s about demonstrating strength as a team! In other words, it’s about moving people… and that requires a deep understanding of others and the ability to respond. I believe that the most important aspects are the perspective and execution needed to involve those around you, align the vectors, and propel the team forward. [What You Will Learn] ■ Delegating Work ⇒ The key points and tips for confidently delegating work instead of taking it all on yourself. ■ The Four Windows of Interpersonal Relationships ⇒ How to deeply understand yourself and help others recognize you better. ■ Mentoring Skills for Junior Colleagues ⇒ Analyzing the guidance necessary for the "Hō-Ren-Sō" (reporting, communicating, and consulting) to function through short case studies. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
