[New Article Introduction] Itopura!: Three Key Points of Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

The manufacturing execution system ProManageMES enables a factory resilient to change through visualization of the manufacturing site!

Three Features of the Manufacturing Execution System ProManage MES [Feature 1: It can be implemented with a small start!] Depending on the factory's situation and budget, the system can be flexibly implemented with only the necessary functions at the right timing. Additionally, with the release of the cloud version of ProManage in February 2021, it has become more affordable to start small. [Feature 2: It is a management-oriented, overall optimization system!] This system is in line with the Industry 4.0 concept, with many successful implementations in Europe, including Germany. Based on international standards (ISA-95 and ISO22400), it allows for smooth data integration between factories and with overseas ERP systems. [Feature 3: It supports the establishment of a resilient manufacturing system!] This system quickly responds to various external changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization, while maintaining and strengthening the improvements in QCD that have been pursued in Japanese manufacturing for many years.

We exhibited at the 5th Smart Factory Expo 2021 (January 20-22, 2021) with the theme of "Realizing a manufacturing system resilient to change."

Itoh Shokai exhibited at the "5th Smart Factory EXPO 2021," held from January 20 (Wednesday) to January 22 (Friday) at Tokyo Big Sight, Aomi Exhibition Hall, along with the concurrently held "Smart Factory EXPO 2021 Online Exhibition." Although this exhibition was held under a state of emergency, we participated while implementing thorough COVID-19 safety measures based on guidelines from the government, local authorities, and the exhibition industry. We would like to introduce the scenes from the Smart Factory EXPO 2021 held at Tokyo Big Sight, Aomi Exhibition Hall, and the concurrently held online exhibition.

• Production Management System

Less affected by environmental changes due to natural light and dimming! Supports over 1 million SKUs without a master.

The "IHI Piece Picking System" realizes the automation and labor-saving of picking operations and supports over 1 million SKUs without the need for a master. It can handle items that were previously unrecognizable by conventional technology, such as transparent packages, items with surfaces that reflect light, and irregular shapes, eliminating the need for SKU (item shape, etc.) registration. No additional learning is required, and teaching tasks for the robot are unnecessary. 【Features】 ■ Designed to support over 1 million SKUs ■ Reduced object recognition time ■ Less affected by environmental changes due to natural light or dimming *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

TOYOROBO Co., Ltd. has signed a general agency agreement with OUNITECH ROBOTICS, a robotics company engaged in the development and manufacturing of AI-powered cleaning robots, effective July 4, 2025. Prior to the domestic launch of 'RoboSweep' in Japan, we have initiated a proof of concept (PoC) at our office location in the complex facility "the SOHO," aimed at verifying and optimizing product performance suitable for the Japanese market. 'RoboSweep' is a robot developed to achieve safe and efficient cleaning operations in various environments such as commercial facilities, office buildings, healthcare and welfare, and sports complexes, equipped with advanced autonomous driving technology and AI algorithms. In this proof of concept (PoC), we will measure and evaluate the effectiveness of obstacle avoidance capabilities, cleaning quality, and operational efficiency within actual facilities, aiming for further optimization of product performance, including the Japanese facility environment and detailed operational capabilities.
