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.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

In battery manufacturing lines, if components containing copper are used, there is a possibility that metal powder may mix in, dissolve, ionize, and pass through the separator, causing a malfunction that connects the positive and negative electrodes. Such minute metal powders may not be detected during pre-shipment inspections, and even if they are found, they can lead to various issues, such as the need to increase inspection processes to detect them. Therefore, Fukuda has developed a copper-free (all stainless steel) air leak tester that can be safely used in the production lines of battery manufacturers and secondary battery manufacturing equipment manufacturers.
