[Report] Supporting Continuous Growth in Manufacturing through Lead Time Reduction [White Paper]

EXPLANNER/Ja is a web-based production management system specialized for the automotive parts manufacturing industry. It enables strategic production that is resilient to demand fluctuations.

The production management system "EXPLANNER/Ja" for the automotive parts manufacturing industry strongly supports the formulation of winning strategies that respond swiftly to changes in the times through "visualization." Produce what is necessary, when it is necessary, and in the necessary amounts. What is required in the automotive parts manufacturing industry is real-time management that realizes JIT (Just In Time) production. Due to the severe delivery requirements based on multiple deliveries that are not found in other industries, it is no exaggeration to say that achieving meticulous production management can determine the success of a business. NEC's EXPLANNER/Ja is a web-compatible core business package suitable for the automotive parts manufacturing industry. It responds to detailed delivery instructions from customers and realizes production management on an hourly basis. It promotes the "visualization" of management information. ◇For details, please refer to 'Download'◇

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, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at the "Japan Pavilion" established by the Ministry of the Environment at the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), which will be held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10, 2025. "SPACECOOL" is a radiative cooling material that enables zero-energy cooling by dissipating heat into space. At our exhibition booth, we will showcase examples of its use not only in reducing air conditioning energy in buildings but also in heat mitigation measures (adaptation strategies) for tents and parasols. The Japan Pavilion aims to promote excellent technologies, products, and services that support global decarbonization and adaptation to climate change, and to achieve Japan's long-term climate change goal of "net zero by 2050." We believe that our participation plays an important role in this endeavor. Through this exhibition, we aim to accelerate our initiatives with local partners in regions severely affected by heat issues, such as the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Southeast Asia, contributing to global decarbonization and climate change measures.

Castem Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "Monozukuri World Osaka - Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition" held at Intex Osaka from October 1 (Wednesday) to October 3 (Friday), 2025. We will showcase lost-wax precision casting and MIM (Metal Injection Molding) products, as well as introduce our new technology, mold-less casting "Digital Cast."
