Achieving spare parts management and optimization of spare parts quantity through the collaboration of FLiPS, AWB, and i-Reporter [Archive Distribution]

Centralize all information related to security management to improve operational efficiency and achieve "visualization."

"FLiPS" is a calendar-type equipment maintenance management system developed with the aim of providing a user experience similar to that of Excel. With Excel-like operability, it is easy for field personnel to adapt to, displaying equipment ledgers and maintenance plan information alongside a calendar in a "star chart" format, allowing for centralized management of all information necessary for maintenance operations. We have significantly expanded the functionality and released "Ver.7," which includes many new features to enhance convenience, such as a dashboard function and a task list display feature for each logged-in user. "FLiPS" achieves optimization of equipment maintenance operations by centralizing and visualizing information scattered throughout the company. This transition greatly facilitates the shift from reactive maintenance to preventive maintenance and the creation of efficient maintenance plans. The main features are as follows: [Features] - Simple operability - Smooth transition from paper or Excel management - Equipped with dashboard functionality - Compatible with smartphones and tablets - One-touch display of tasks for the day for users - Automatic graph generation function *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.
