Production scheduler for small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses.

"Seiryu" is a production scheduler suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in small-batch, multi-variety production. It allows users to check the load conditions of equipment and work schedules on the system, facilitating smooth planning adjustments for urgent orders and special requests. Additionally, by registering criteria such as priority and constraints for planning, it enables quick production planning based on common standards. 【Features】 ■ Can be linked with sales management systems, production management systems, etc. ■ Automatically allocates equipment based on load conditions ■ Contributes to the elimination of dependency on specific individuals and streamlining planning tasks ■ Allows for comparison between planned and actual times, facilitating the PDCA cycle.

• Production Scheduler

Creating and adjusting production plans is easy. Integration with existing systems is also possible. Suitable for environments with diverse and small-lot production.

• Production Management System

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.

In civil engineering sites, it has long been common to think of "steel plates when it comes to ground sheets." However, since the required performance varies from site to site, there is no need to limit ground sheets to just one material. Hyper CLT ground sheets are a new type of civil engineering ground sheet that utilizes wood CLT. They can be widely used for temporary roads, access routes, material yards, and worker pathways, and are characterized by being lightweight and easy to install and remove. Furthermore, they add unique values of wood to the site, such as reducing summer glare, minimizing metal noise, and fixing CO2. The important thing is not to replace all steel plates with wood. In areas where loads are concentrated, steel plates can be used, while CLT can be chosen for places that prioritize lightweight and environmental considerations, allowing for appropriate material selection based on the situation. Hyper CLT ground sheets are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS as "TH-250021-A." As a new technology registered with NETIS, it is not about "iron or wood," but rather about selecting the optimal ground sheet based on the site conditions. A new standard in civil engineering is beginning.

Air Leak Tester for Micro Volume Work 【FLZ-0220-A4+LPU-300】 This is the FLZ-0220, a separate type leak tester designed for controlling the pneumatic unit LPU-300. It features a high-performance controller "FLZ-0220" and an ultra-compact detection unit "LPU-300" that minimizes the piping volume to the limit, allowing it to be placed very close to the test specimen (inspection target: workpiece). This combination detects "micro leaks," which were previously buried in noise with conventional testers, with high precision and speed. The 【LPU-300 series】 is the smallest measurement unit in Fukuda's history, making it ideal for direct attachment to as small a workpiece as possible for measurement. It is possible to increase measurement sensitivity compared to standard all-in-one leak testers (depending on conditions). 【Features】 ■ Eliminates measurement noise to the extreme ■ Detection resolution is the highest precision in our company ■ Dedicated tester for small volume products Since the medium used for testing is air, there are no running costs.
