Visualization of logistics sites" "Reduction of working hours at logistics sites

The loading software has many implementation cases from logistics companies to manufacturers, and the effects of its introduction are significant. ● The reasons are... - Shipping size, weight, and quantity are managed in-house. - With the cooperation of the information systems department (IT), data can be linked with the loading software for calculations as many times as needed. - It is possible to determine increases or decreases in shipping volume based on remaining space [important]. - Time can be saved by reducing inquiries to freight forwarders. ■ Current implementation site A logistics company of a certain food manufacturer group. ■ On-site challenges - Want to immediately answer "How many containers?", "What types of containers?", and "What is the remaining space?" - Want to maximize loading during imports from China and provide loading instructions to the Chinese side. - The loading rules for products (packaging) are either unknown or have become unclear due to being personalized within the company. ■ Operations/Requirements - Which products and how many will be loaded into the remaining space? - Heavy items should be loaded on the lower tier.

It is possible to develop special loading conditions as a dedicated algorithm.

In building material manufacturers, heavy building materials are loaded onto trucks after creating a load plan, taking safety and workability into consideration. Before the introduction of the Vanning Master, multiple office employees planned using Excel (including the creation of work diagrams) while considering constraints related to safety, workability, and unloading. By developing a unique algorithm that takes into account constraints related to loading, we have successfully significantly reduced these administrative tasks. The optimization of space utilization through the algorithm generally aims to increase the loading (filling) rate as the primary objective. Prioritizing workability makes the evaluation criteria for the results of the algorithm ambiguous, which made the development difficulty very high. The development of the algorithm for building material manufacturers was made possible by our consultants, who understood the field and conducted detailed interviews to clarify the operational rules and metrics involved in the work.

Determination of the dimensions of the packaging box for the new product" "Development of pallet stacking patterns

"Palette Master" is a system that proposes the most efficient way to load pallets. It is a convenient optimization tool useful for single-item loading, such as "wanting to switch to T11 type pallets," "deciding the dimensions of new product packaging boxes," and "warehouse transfer." "Palette Master" is dedicated pallet loading software. It is not a plugin for Vanning Master. Since customization is necessary to fit the logistics site conditions, we will submit a quotation after hearing about the situation. ■ Implementation Effects 1) Instantly simulates based on pallet size and product size, displaying multiple optimal loading patterns. You can choose loading patterns suitable for storage and transportation purposes. 2) With Palette Master, centralized management of information regarding loading across various departments is possible from the development of new containers. - It allows consideration of optimal loading during the container development stage. - Centralizing the database makes information sharing easier. - Authority management is implemented by dividing general users, administrators, and viewers.

Work style reform" "Reduction of overtime hours

We often receive requests to modify the loading diagrams after container and pallet loading simulations to specifications suitable for our business. This time, we have prepared a function to add 3D diagrams and floor plans to an Excel format that meets business requirements. It will naturally be possible to add comments to the created Excel loading diagrams, and by changing the template format, it will be possible to add or modify formulas in advance.

Improvement of loading for parts transportation using the TP box loading improvement system.

The TP Box Loading Improvement System is a system (algorithm) designed to maximize the loading efficiency of pallet transport for products utilizing TP boxes. The TP boxes have standard-sized blocks on the bottom, and by combining the interlocking parts of these blocks, different sizes of TP boxes can be loaded onto a pallet. However, combining TP boxes of different sizes to enhance the loading efficiency onto a pallet has been very challenging and could only be handled by skilled workers. The newly developed TP Box Loading Improvement System enables inexperienced individuals to achieve a high level of loading efficiency by allowing for multi-layer stacking on pallets by leveling the top layer and improving workability by consolidating containers of the same size.

Shall we systematize the improvement of loading rates in trunk transportation by truck?

The Vanning Master is a simulation system that calculates loading in three dimensions (3D calculation) based on the size information of individual products, rather than calculating cargo loading through volume calculations. It allows for precise calculations, including the effective use of space above the truck, as shown in the following diagram. In multi-tier loading, the top surface of the palletized cargo on the lower tier is flattened, and additional palletized cargo is loaded on top of it. This enables calculations that increase the loading rate. The introduction of Vanning Master has successfully revolutionized the loading rates for transportation of large lots of the same product, such as in trunk transportation at manufacturers.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
