Case Study on the Utilization of Manufacturing Execution System (MES): "Identifying Issues in Job Shop Processes"

I want to promote digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing site. However, "I can't envision how to utilize the data..." "I have the data, but I'm not able to use it effectively..." Many people may have such concerns, right? In this article, for those considering how to utilize the collected and accumulated data, I will introduce a case study on identifying issues in job shop processes using data from the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

• Production Management System

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.

Three Key Points of Digital Transformation in Manufacturing Industry

From the time when it was surprising for each person to have a mobile phone, we have now entered an era where having a camera on a mobile phone and using a smartphone that can be operated with just one screen has become completely normal. Amidst the remarkably rapid pace of technological innovation, various industries are focusing on "digital transformation." In the manufacturing sector, there is a need for flexible responses to various environmental changes such as "the arrival of an era where products do not sell," "diversification of customer needs," "labor shortages," and "the impact of COVID-19." To address this, "digital transformation in manufacturing" is essential to build a manufacturing system that is resilient to change through the digitalization of the manufacturing industry. In this article, we will explain key points for advancing digital transformation in manufacturing, including "clarifying objectives and goals," "starting small," and "combining visualization and response."

[Speaker] Tadahiro Maruyama, Director of the Business Creation Division, Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Also Deputy COO of Chuden Telemetering LLC) [Key Lecture Content] Chubu Electric Power is expanding telemetering through a smart meter communication network to gas and water services. In the next phase, we aim to integrate these accumulated data into a multi-infrastructure DX business, merging with energy and water services, and striving for a circular and sustainable community across our entire group. This time, I will explain the actual initiatives related to these efforts. [Lecture Items] 1. Automatic Meter Reading by Chubu Electric Power 2. Current Status of Chubu Electric Power's Telemetry Business 3. Business Transformation through Infrastructure DX in the Electric Power Sector 4. Horizontal Expansion of Infrastructure DX to Water Services 5. Smart City Services through Data Utilization 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Daihei Yamamoto, CEO of F6 Design, Inc. Strategic Consultant / Data Scientist [Lecture Topics] 1. Why is it difficult for "self-driven talent" to emerge from Japanese workplaces? 2. Shifting to a "non-teaching teaching method" - How to change interactions with subordinates 3. Strengthening communication skills through WHI (Why-How-If) 4. Creating an environment that allows for "safe failures" and systems that support self-drive 5. Q&A

To learn more about solar cells, to understand measurement methods, to acquire know-how related to measurements, and to actually try using measuring instruments, we have established a "PV Technical Center" on our headquarters premises, which also serves as a showroom. This center provides support services in the field of measurements for solar power generation, addressing various questions and requests from customers. At the PV Technical Center, we hold PV seminars (free of charge). Please apply through the detailed application URL provided.

In recent years, many people have been facing the challenge of "how to ensure retention and quickly turn new employees into productive members" due to the difficulty in hiring new graduates and the diversification of the environment and values in which young employees have grown. In this seminar, we will introduce some key points of "OJT Leader Development" from the training of the public course "OJT Leader Development Course" scheduled for March next year, based on the know-how cultivated in actual OJT leader training. We will share points that can be immediately practiced in the field, and we look forward to your enthusiastic participation! *Please apply through our company website below. *We have prepared two dates. Please choose a date that is convenient for you. Date: December 17, 2025 (Wednesday) 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Format: Zoom Webinar Cost: Free Application Deadline: December 15 (Monday) Capacity: 50 people *Registration will close once the capacity is reached. [Content] - Positive role recognition - Understanding the environment and values that have developed - Imagining the "ideal self" as an OJT leader - Skill set for development and more.
