By using a scientific approach, we present analysis results to ensure optimal picking and support rational decision-making.

Location is Everything Within the warehouse, the location of products directly impacts productivity, worker safety, and order accuracy. Fast-moving items should be placed in the most accessible locations for picking, heavy items should be stored in areas that minimize damage, and optimizing the overall storage capacity of the warehouse is also crucial. Challenges such as similar orders, an increase in the number of SKUs, unstable demand, and the need to respond to short lead-time orders require continuous optimization of warehouse space. In logistics operations that meet the requirements of omnichannel retailing, optimizing slotting has become essential for controlling costs and meeting customer expectations. The Best Approach to Optimization By recommending the best locations for each inventory item, employee labor efficiency improves, order processing cycles are shortened, and throughput can be maximized. Additionally, strategically grouping items for fulfillment and updating recommended layouts based on trends and demand for new products enhances customer service. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

• Integrated operation management

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.

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.
