Introducing a case study of a picking cart in an automobile engine manufacturing factory!!

Inclined transport and speed control are now possible! The high-performance electric assist unit caster E-Drive Optima has been newly introduced.

E-Drive is a high-assist performance electric assist unit caster that can support a maximum total weight of 500 kg. Introducing the new series, E-Drive Optima. While maintaining ease of use, it now also supports inclined transport and speed control. Even for manual handling of heavy loads with high weight, this product allows for easy operation with hand controls, reducing the burden on operators and improving efficiency. 【Features】 ■ Reduces operator burden and improves efficiency ■ High assist performance ■ Supports a maximum total weight of 500 kg (per unit) ■ Capable of inclined transport ■ Speed control available ■ Settings can be adjusted according to the usage environment

Achieve process optimization, cost reduction, and productivity improvement simultaneously! Introducing case studies.

We would like to introduce a case study of Esselte Leitz, a manufacturer of office supplies that has adopted our electric assist unit, 'E-drive'. The company offers a 24-hour same-day shipping service, and improving the labor environment by reducing the burden on workers who repeatedly perform stop-and-go tasks with picking carts weighing up to 400 kg, as well as enhancing the efficiency of product collection, was a priority. In response, we proposed a solution to reduce transportation burdens and improve transportation efficiency using our product. By installing it on 27 carts, the load on employees transporting carts was significantly reduced, achieving process optimization, cost reduction, and increased productivity simultaneously. 【Effects】 ■ Ability to transport large quantities of products at once, and very easily ■ Improved work productivity ■ Walking distance reduced by up to 80% ■ Significant reduction in the load on employees transporting carts ■ Annual cost savings of over 60 million yen *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
