It is a warehouse management system that uses advanced technology that does not require software updates after implementation without versioning.

"Manhattan Active Warehouse Management" is a SaaS-based warehouse management system that has significantly expanded its global adoption record. It has consistently received high ratings in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for an extended period. 【Features】 <Versionless> After implementation, the operation of customized areas is guaranteed, and the system is automatically upgraded, allowing users to always utilize the latest version. <Microservices Architecture> By combining multiple independent functions, business logic is constructed, enabling zero downtime system upgrades and flexible integration with external systems via APIs. This allows for the rapid introduction of new business models. <Auto-Scaling> The system is equipped with the capability to automatically scale out and in system resource capacity according to the fluctuating transaction data volume during peak and off-peak business periods. <SaaS-based Operational Management> Infrastructure and application operational management is entrusted to Manhattan, allowing users to concentrate their management resources on developing extensions that drive and transform their business.

• Process Control System

Labor management enhances product throughput, promotes customer service, and supports warehouse efficiency improvements.

High expectations for customer service through omnichannel commerce, fluctuating demand, an increase in the number of SKUs handled, and a reduction in the quantity per order require higher employee productivity and efficiency than before. In today's fast-paced economy, strengthening relationships with workers is essential for success. This allows for cost reduction in labor while driving innovation and increasing productivity and final profit margins. Manhattan's labor management solution is a system designed to bridge the engagement gap with employees by recommending rewards for high performers and providing coaching and training for those who are not meeting goals. As a result, workforce efficiency can be improved, leading to reduced turnover rates and increased productivity within the warehouse. Additionally, labor management enables managers and supervisors to forecast workloads, track productivity, and calculate incentives. By using this user-friendly mobile solution, supervisors can spend more time in the warehouse, engage with their teams, respond in real-time to remove obstacles, address underperforming employees, and ensure that operations run smoothly.

• Integrated operation management

This is an air leak tester for battery cases of electric vehicles (EVs). The battery case has the characteristic of being "large with a significant internal volume, and its structure may deform due to internal pressure." As a result, air leak testing generates "noise caused by its large size and capacity" and "noise caused by expansion or deformation due to internal pressurization." To mitigate this noise, this device features a newly developed smoothing function and a linear fitting correction function used in combination during measurement. Additionally, to achieve low-pressure control that is difficult to manage and to expand flow for large volumes, we provide a bypass box (CBU-600) equipped with an electro-pneumatic regulator for precise pressure control and a pressurization valve with a large effective diameter to supply high flow rates. Measurement methods: Work-Work comparison, Work-Master comparison, Fixed Master comparison Measurement pressure range: 10 kPa, 20 kPa, 50 kPa (depending on specifications) Gauge pressure sensor accuracy: ±2% F.S. Differential pressure sensor accuracy: ±0.5% F.S. Group settings: 0 to 31 groups Power supply voltage / Power consumption: AC100 to 240 V / 100 VA

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

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 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 you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
