Announcement of the Release of the Optimal Box Proposal Engine (Optimization of Packaging Box Sizes)

Calculate the size of the cardboard box that perfectly fits the product to reduce shipping costs. An example of a reduction of 2.5 million yen per month.

The "Optimal Box Proposal Engine" is software that analyzes the size information of shipped products and cardboard boxes to calculate the minimum size of cardboard boxes that fit the product size. By minimizing the total length of the three dimensions (length, width, height) that affect shipping costs, it is possible to reduce delivery and material costs. Regular analysis also helps prepare appropriate cardboard boxes in line with the transition to new products. 【Features】 ■ Calculates the reduction rate of shipping costs compared to using the original box ■ There are cases where shipping costs were reduced by approximately 2.5 million yen Since actual data on shipped products is required, this is proposed in conjunction with the packaging box selection engine (BOX Engine). * Packaging box selection engine: https://www.vanning-master.jp/vm_cb01.html * For more details, please refer to the PDF document. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

■Do you have any of these concerns? 1) The variety of exterior box types makes selecting the appropriate box a challenge that directly affects shipping costs. 2) There is a discrepancy in box selection accuracy between experienced and new staff, causing shipping personnel to struggle with box selection and feel stressed. 3) The number of boxes cannot be determined until packing is attempted, making it impossible to prepare boxes and shipping labels in advance. These concerns can be resolved with the introduction of the Vanning Master Box Packing BOX Engine. ■Benefits of Implementation 1) Automatically suggests the smallest cardboard box that fits the three dimensions of the shipping items, aiming to reduce shipping costs. 2) By integrating with the inventory management system and printing box information on shipping instructions such as picking lists, the worries about box selection are eliminated. 3) Knowing the number of boxes at the shipping planning stage allows for box preparation, packing details, shipping labels, and delivery slips to be issued at the order stage. 4) Shipping cost calculations can be done at the order stage. 5) It becomes easier to consider reducing the variety of cardboard types or introducing new ones.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter 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 metal crack repair 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.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs 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 at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used.
