TAKAYA IoT platform utilizing cloud environment

In recent years, with the promotion of work style reform, there has been an increasing demand for improved productivity and the correction of long working hours, necessitating companies to accurately grasp the actual working hours and tasks of their employees. However, the accuracy of data collection remains unclear. Particularly in the manufacturing industry, many cases still use handwritten forms, leading to challenges such as missing entries and mistakes that make it difficult to obtain accurate performance information. Against this backdrop, our company has developed an "RFID Work Performance Collection System" that allows performance data to be transmitted simply by placing an RFID tag on an autonomous RFID reader. Since there is no need to record at the start and completion of work, workers can naturally and accurately record their working hours without being conscious of it. Because performance data can be easily collected, more time can be allocated to data analysis, allowing for effective utilization as profit improvement data for reviewing personnel allocation and understanding and improving the status of each process.

• Other operation management software

Easily achieve constant monitoring with RFID! It enables real-time understanding of the inventory status and movement of managed items.

This is middleware for easily implementing a "constant monitoring RFID system" that automatically acquires the inventory and movement status of managed items. ■ Advanced Event Processing It processes the read IC tag data and organizes the necessary "inventory information" and "movement information" for constant monitoring into a database. ■ Easy Data Utilization The collected information is stored in a database, allowing users to easily access the necessary information whenever needed. (Database: PostgreSQL) ■ Centralized Management of Reader/Writers It supports multiple readers and multiple antennas, allowing for centralized management of various settings related to the reader/writer. The configuration of the readers and reading settings can also be easily adjusted from the screen.

• IC tag reader/writer

Functions specialized for lending and returning operations are templated. IC tags are attached to managed items, enabling lending, returning, and inventory checks using RFID.

This is a management system for tracking items using IC tags. It reliably records the history of items taken out and returned, preventing omissions and errors in ledger entries, while also supporting the early detection of forgotten returns and losses. Additionally, it enables efficient inventory checks through bulk reading with RFID handheld devices. In traditional item management operations, the following issues often arise: ♦ Handwriting or Excel input into the ledger The process of recording in the ledger or entering data into Excel during item check-out and return is cumbersome, leading to discrepancies due to entry errors. ♦ Individual confirmation during inventory checks It is necessary to take items out one by one from boxes or shelves for verification, which consumes a significant amount of time for inventory tasks. ♦ Management through ledgers Due to management via paper or Excel ledgers, it is difficult to detect unreturned items or losses early and respond quickly. This system addresses these challenges.

• IC tag

The existing system remains unchanged! You can easily implement inventory inspection for inbound and outbound using RFID.

Attach IC tags to managed items and realize the collection of inventory data for inbound and outbound operations as well as stocktaking using RFID. This package absorbs the challenges of reader-writer control in building an RFID system, so there is no need for RFID development on the customer's side. It integrates with upper-level systems via CSV or API, allowing for the introduction of RFID into existing WMS or core systems in a plug-in manner. This is a simple and easy-to-understand package specifically designed for RFID data collection. 【Features】 ■ Bulk Reading The bulk reading feature of RFID significantly improves the efficiency of inbound and outbound inventory operations. Additionally, operations can be tailored to the customer's environment and business needs, whether using handheld devices or gates. ■ IC Tag Issuance The package includes an IC tag issuance function using RFID-compatible label printers. Even if IC tags cannot be attached at the manufacturing (sourcing) stage, they can be issued within the company. ■ Integration with Upper-Level Systems It integrates with upper-level systems via API or CSV. Existing systems can remain unchanged while introducing the RFID system in a plug-in manner.

If you are not familiar with the field, understanding the "demands from the field" will remain at the level of "problem incidents," and you will be unable to pursue the "root causes" of these incidents, leading to responses that are specific to each problem incident. If the IT department is responsible for creating systems across the company, it is necessary to acquire both ICT technology and an understanding of "the business content of the field and the ideal state of operations from a company-wide perspective." In other words, it is essential to have business knowledge, management techniques, analysis, design, establishment, and effectiveness measurement techniques, as well as data construction techniques that guide various standards and standardization. The first step is "business knowledge." First, you will acquire business knowledge and learn the ability to "understand" the demands from the field. You will prepare for the next theme, which is "learning management techniques to understand the ideal state of operations from a company-wide perspective." This course serves as a practical introductory course to that entry point.

By taking this course, you will be able to construct a BOM and set reference values. You will acquire the skills to set a BOM that includes process steps and the reference values for achieving DX.
