Even small manufacturing businesses that have found it difficult to implement systems until now can easily introduce and operate it. 【Features】 ■ Usable from a single account. ■ Subscription model for usage fees * Starting at 45,000 yen per month (excluding tax) * Additional setup and training costs may apply. ■ Compatible with web browsers, allowing for easy operation anytime and anywhere. ■ Report layouts can be freely customized. ■ Supports reducing the burden of preparation for small manufacturing businesses' implementation! Preparing services such as "master registration assistance" and "operation manual creation assistance." ■ Supports production management operations across multiple businesses and departments as a simple ERP. ★ Our company offers proposals for improving profit margins through the use of production management systems. We are currently providing materials that explain key points for profit margin improvement. Please check them out via PDF download.

• Production Management System

This is a production management system developed for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in multi-variety, low-volume parts processing.

**[Introduction Effects]** ■ OA (Office Automation) Effects - The data import functions of Excel and EDI can significantly reduce input labor. - Progress status can be viewed by anyone at any time, reducing the effort of searching for items on-site. - The operation of handheld terminals can greatly shorten the time required for cost aggregation. ■ Strengthening Progress and Delivery Management and Cost Reduction Effects - During order placement, data such as past purchase prices can be easily referenced for price negotiations. - Individual costs per production number can be grasped in real-time, allowing for measures to achieve profitability. - By issuing work instructions, productivity can be improved, real-time processing progress can be monitored, and load adjustments can be made as needed, leading to reduced labor costs (increased productivity) and adherence to and shortening of delivery times. ■ Improvement and Sustained Effects on Profit Structure (Company Quality) - Management and veteran employees can be freed from administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on product development and customer acquisition utilizing their experience and knowledge. - During estimation and calculation, quick and accurate estimates can be created based on past similar cost records, facilitating advantageous sales activities to secure high-quality orders. - The results of improvement effects will be actively visualized and showcased, drawing out the motivation of all employees through fair numerical evaluations.

The low-voltage fuse "SBFC-LPJ" is a slow blow fuse that can withstand temporary overcurrent and only blows under continuous overcurrent conditions. It is particularly effective for devices in automobiles where the current temporarily spikes. Recommended for those facing challenges related to circuit protection with low-voltage fuses (below DC70V) in the automotive and construction machinery industries, it can endure inrush currents during startup, such as for engine cooling fans and air conditioning blowers, while reliably disconnecting in case of abnormalities.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
