We held a preview event for our newly released latest device, "Micral." Micral is a next-generation solution equipped with the latest LIBS technology (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), achieving both "significant simplification of sample preparation" and "overwhelming analysis speed." It accommodates a variety of samples (matrices) such as food, feed, and dairy products, bringing innovation to on-site analysis operations. We wanted you to directly experience the operability and speed of Micral, so we invited customers to bring their own samples for measurement during this event. We hope that this can serve as a hint for improving the efficiency and safety of your analysis operations and be considered as one of the factors in your future equipment selection.

If production and logistics are managed separately in the factory, it can lead to negative consequences. This is the "key point of logistics improvement." For example, standard work instructions, standard times, and productivity management. What is normally done in the production process is not implemented in logistics. As a result, logistics can become a bottleneck, and it is not uncommon for the overall efficiency of the factory to decline. Why is "in-house logistics" important now? The government is promoting the optimization and efficiency of logistics as a social theme, and as part of this, the establishment of "logistics coordinators" is beginning to be required, starting with large businesses. It is predicted that this will eventually spread to medium and small enterprises as well. It is necessary to start improving in-house logistics now and to establish a strategic logistics management system. This course will lecture on what in-house logistics should do to achieve "overall efficiency of the factory." There is an order to logistics improvement. By incorporating exercises and thinking together, as well as discussing together, please internalize the methods for improving in-house logistics. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
