The IT Coordinator column "IT Management Chronicles" has been published: "Automation of Operations and 'RPA'."

This is a production management system developed for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in multi-variety, low-volume parts processing.

**[Introduction Effects]** ■ OA (Office Automation) Effects - The data import functions of Excel and EDI can significantly reduce input labor. - Progress status can be viewed by anyone at any time, reducing the effort of searching for items on-site. - The operation of handheld terminals can greatly shorten the time required for cost aggregation. ■ Strengthening Progress and Delivery Management and Cost Reduction Effects - During order placement, data such as past purchase prices can be easily referenced for price negotiations. - Individual costs per production number can be grasped in real-time, allowing for measures to achieve profitability. - By issuing work instructions, productivity can be improved, real-time processing progress can be monitored, and load adjustments can be made as needed, leading to reduced labor costs (increased productivity) and adherence to and shortening of delivery times. ■ Improvement and Sustained Effects on Profit Structure (Company Quality) - Management and veteran employees can be freed from administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on product development and customer acquisition utilizing their experience and knowledge. - During estimation and calculation, quick and accurate estimates can be created based on past similar cost records, facilitating advantageous sales activities to secure high-quality orders. - The results of improvement effects will be actively visualized and showcased, drawing out the motivation of all employees through fair numerical evaluations.

Digitizing order processing! Compliance with the revised Electronic Bookkeeping Act!

"BtoB Platform Order and Receipt for Manufacturing Industry" is a cloud service provided by InfoMart Inc., which operates a BtoB (business-to-business electronic commerce) platform. This service digitizes the order and receipt operations conducted by both ordering and receiving companies in the manufacturing industry. It reduces the workload and human errors involved in these tasks, while enabling real-time situation management and information sharing. 【Benefits of Use】 ▶ Reduction of administrative workload in order and receipt operations By digitizing the ordering process that was previously done via FAX, email, or postal mail, the effort and human errors involved in sending and confirming order documents are minimized! ▶ Prevention of mistakes and miscommunication Data can always be shared between the ordering and receiving parties, and the registration of delivery dates and price adjustments can be handled within the system, eliminating the need for communication efforts and preventing issues such as misunderstandings and miscommunication! ▶ Paperless and cost reduction Complying with the Electronic Bookkeeping Preservation Law, it eliminates the need for paper order forms, delivery notes, inspection reports, etc., achieving a paperless environment! There is no need for document checks or storage, and since FAX is also unnecessary, costs such as communication fees are reduced! ▶ Compatible with the production management system "TECHS-S" and various other systems.

Aren't you going out of your way to manually enter order data from clients into the system? Easily import it with the order import option!

Do you have any of these concerns? "I'm registering shipping data in both the client's web system and TECHS, and it's taking a lot of time..." "Order registration is done manually, which takes a long time..." "Input errors in order data occur frequently..." All of these can be resolved with the order import option. - You can import order data (in CSV format) from clients. - It significantly reduces the man-hours required for order input. - You can set up multiple patterns for import items for each client.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● 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.
