Release of RaLC's new feature "Logistics Workflow"

Proposals and improvements! Easy creation! Enhance your proposal skills with 3D proposals.

This is a presentation tool that supports the efficiency of initial proposals and negotiations at logistics centers and warehouses in Japan. RaLC Pre recreates a realistic logistics environment by creating layouts within the warehouse and positioning and moving workers and forklifts in 3D. It also accommodates various manufacturers' material handling equipment, providing the necessary functions to consider the operational capacity of logistics centers in response to management, relocation plans, or future sales increases. Even those who are not computer-savvy can operate it comfortably, achieving differentiation proposals such as "acquiring shippers" and "clear presentations." Unlike RaLC, which is equipped with advanced simulation features, RaLC Pre can be used simply by selecting and placing a specialized library for logistics sites (including standard features like receiving, inspection, picking, sorting, and inventory) with mouse operations according to the usage scenario.

Conducted simulations using actual shipping and receiving data on the model reproduced on RaLC.

To utilize the results of the logistics ABC (Activity Based Costing) analysis for work improvement, we will input location data (such as product names and quantities) from the WMS (Warehouse Management System) into a model recreated on RaLC and conduct simulations using actual inbound and outbound shipping data. This will allow us to verify the extent of the impact of the flow analysis results and location changes. For more details, please contact us.

Visualization of investment effects and improvement effects! 3D layout design simulator RaAP.

RaAP (Rapid Analysis and Planning) enables the analysis and visualization of manufacturing site layouts, equipment, personnel, processes, and workflows. By applying strategic methods that utilize 3D simulation technology, it guides customers in optimizing their operations, uncovering improvement points hidden in manufacturing environments such as factories and production lines, in addition to relying on intuition and experience. Improving challenges in manufacturing often incurs "time" and "cost." When attempting to implement the CAP-Do cycle in the field, there are many cases where things do not go smoothly. RaAP is widely used as a tool for improvement verification in production technology and manufacturing departments. By instantly displaying production equipment, worker procedures, and workflows in 3D from the entire manufacturing site on a computer, it makes problems and areas for improvement more visible, promoting integration between management and the field.

Komatsu puts into practice! A case filled with know-how that achieved surprising cost reduction and productivity improvement is available for free download.

Komatsu, a leader in construction and heavy machinery worldwide under the "KOMATSU" brand, is focused on improving quality, reliability, and production efficiency by harnessing the power of identifying challenges on-site (on-site capability). To visualize the diverse range of vehicle types and specifications produced, and to quickly and accurately grasp improvement opportunities, the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is essential. Since 2000, we have implemented the logistics improvement system "RaLC" from CEC, utilizing it in the logistics system department for proposals and in the production technology department for optimizing production line verification. Since April 2010, by introducing CEC's logistics improvement system "RaLC," we have been able to monitor the position and movement of forklifts in real-time. By visualizing the logistics vehicles operating within the facility, we aim to achieve continuous logistics improvement, further cost reduction, and increased productivity. ■We will also hold seminars related to this case. You can apply through the survey at the bottom■

Hitachi Chemical Industries puts into practice! A successful case of reducing capital investment by 15%, leading to improved profit margins, is available for free download!

Hitachi Chemical Industry, leveraging the advanced technological capabilities cultivated since its founding, has introduced the manufacturing line optimization support tool "RaAP" to respond to the latest market needs. This tool is utilized for layout considerations within the factory and production capacity assessments, facilitating consensus among on-site stakeholders and achieving improved production efficiency, including a reduction in the number of equipment units. 【Challenges Before Implementation】 ○ When considering production capacity, decisions could only be made based on past empirical rules, making accurate predictions difficult. ○ There was a desire to smooth the consensus-building process with on-site stakeholders, such as the manufacturing and production technology departments, to enhance the speed of improving material flow. ○ They were looking for simulation software that could be easily and continuously used without requiring complex operations or programming knowledge. ■ A collection of successful case studies that solved such challenges is available for free! ■

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has initiated various construction projects, and safety management and improvement of working conditions during the extreme heat of summer have become significant themes at civil engineering sites. Even as the concept of summer work stoppages spreads, it is important not to rely solely on stoppages but to focus on innovative temporary materials to improve daily site conditions. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials that utilize wooden CLT. They can be used in various civil engineering sites as a substitute for steel plates, including temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. The 5×10 sheet weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of installation and removal. Thanks to the unique properties of wood, these sheets can help minimize glare compared to steel plates, making them useful for heat stroke prevention measures and environmental considerations during the summer. Additionally, they are expected to provide benefits in terms of construction efficiency and site environment, such as improved transportation efficiency and noise reduction. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS "TH-250021-A," they are also recommended for creative proposals in public works. Please consider them as a new option for civil engineering sites looking to address heat-related issues, including summer work stoppages. We also accept inquiries for consultations on implementation tailored to site conditions and requests for materials. We can provide proposals for public works and private civil engineering projects both within and outside Okayama Prefecture. Please feel free to contact us.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheet boards are used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. Traditional steel plates are heavy, which can require large cranes or heavy machinery for installation and removal, increasing the workload depending on site conditions. Hyper CLT sheet boards are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 board weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which allows for easier installation without the need for large cranes. They also contribute to reducing the burden of transportation, installation, and removal, as well as improving maneuverability on site. Recommended as a registered technology by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is suitable for companies considering civil engineering, civil use, and civil CLT. This material is easy to use for creative proposals in public works, such as alternatives to steel plates, common temporary structures, temporary roads, and curing for material storage areas.
