I contributed an article about InQross in the December issue of "Monthly Automatic Recognition" (released on December 10) (gift).

Why not use InQross for the most labor-intensive data collection and analysis in Industrial Engineering (IE)?

InQross Kaizen Maker is a system that visualizes the location and operational status of workers in factories and warehouses, characterized by its easy implementation on-site. It utilizes our patented indoor positioning technology and consists of a simple configuration with only "BLE beacon tags" and "data collection computers." While generally invisible challenges cannot be solved, merely visualizing them is meaningless; once visualized, it is necessary to analyze and connect it to improvements. We recommend utilizing InQross Kaizen Maker in Industrial Engineering (IE) to engage in improvement activities. By using InQross Kaizen Maker for the most labor-intensive data acquisition and analysis in IE, efficiency can be increased. 【Product Features】 ■ Easy installation without construction required ■ Low-cost implementation with zero running costs ■ Real-time and easy visualization of location and operations ■ Abundant analysis tools make flow, man-hour, and load analysis easy *For more details, please download the catalog below. Feel free to contact us for online explanations.

We will release the wide version of the immediately deployable position and motion analysis tool, "InQross Kaizen Maker WIDE," at the end of January 2024!

The InQross Kaizen Maker is a system that visualizes the location and operational status of workers in factories and warehouses, characterized by its easy implementation on-site. It uses our patented indoor positioning technology and has a simple configuration consisting only of "BLE beacon tags" and "data collection computers." The fixed station tag, "Location Tag," is simply placed (or stuck) in the workspace, while the mobile station tag, "Person Tag," is carried by the worker, requiring no construction. Data can be collected by placing a base station (USB scanner + computer) within the radio range. This makes implementation easy. Additionally, it is a closed system that intentionally does not use the cloud, which reduces server-side development costs and eliminates running costs, achieving low costs. There are two products to choose from based on the scene. For areas within 50 meters, please use the basic "InQross Kaizen Maker LITE," and for larger spaces, please use the new product "InQross Kaizen Maker WIDE." *For more details, please download the catalog.

Technoa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Koji Yamazaki) will hold a limited-time summer special event, "Monozukuri DX CAMP," from Saturday, August 9, 2025, to Saturday, August 23, 2025. Small and medium-sized manufacturing companies face challenges such as a shortage of specialized personnel and a lack of know-how and information, which act as barriers to promoting DX (digital transformation). This event will provide a step-by-step approach to "realistic DX," based on the know-how accumulated by Technoa while supporting the DX transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. It will be structured as DAY.1 to DAY.5, offering an opportunity for skill development during the summer break and supporting the learning and growth of small and medium-sized manufacturers.

JOHNAN has updated a webpage summarizing the selection points to solve various challenges in large-scale processing (quality maintenance, short delivery times, costs). This article introduces the challenges faced in large-scale processing based on years of knowledge and experience, as well as the key points for choosing the optimal contractor that balances quality and short delivery times. If you are looking for a reliable contractor, please make use of our "Large-Scale Processing Solutions." ▼For more details "Large-Scale Processing Solutions to Achieve Product Quality and Short Delivery Times" https://www.johnan.com/solution/process/processing-assembly/post_8.html

Thank you very much for your continued support. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but our company will be closed for summer vacation during the following period. 【Closure Period】 From Saturday, August 9, 2025, to Thursday, August 14, 2025. We will resume normal business operations on Friday, August 15. We appreciate your understanding during this time and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

JOHNAN has released a video that clearly explains the implementation technology for stretchable films, which are expected to be utilized in wearable devices and medical equipment. In the video, you can see how the film, which has excellent elasticity, stretches and contracts. Please check our high technological capabilities and the flexible characteristics that are useful for product development. We hope this will help you generate new ideas in product development. ▼You can watch the video here [Link to the implementation page for stretchable films] https://www.johnan.com/dms/mounting/filmdevic/stretchable/

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence. [Table of Contents] ■ Why is underfloor checking necessary? ■ Checkpoints to confirm after a typhoon or heavy rain ■ Responses when damage is discovered ■ Points for preventing recurrence ■ Suggestions from Seihou Products ■ Summary Please be sure to read the [related materials] and [related links]. ↓ ↓ ↓
