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 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 summer construction sites, the surface temperature of the ground plates and the heat reflection can affect the working environment. In particular, steel plates tend to retain heat when exposed to sunlight, making it a challenge to implement heatstroke prevention measures and improve the site environment for workers. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As wooden ground plates, they can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways, serving as a versatile alternative to steel plates in various civil engineering sites. In actual sites, there are cases where the surface temperature can differ by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates, making them an easy-to-suggest material for reducing heat reflection and preventing heatstroke in summer. The 5×10 plate weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which also helps reduce construction burdens. Additionally, they feature noise reduction, environmental consideration, and CO2 fixation, which are unique to wood. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these ground plates are also easy to utilize for innovative ideas and safety measures in public works. Companies looking to improve summer site environments are encouraged to consider Hyper CLT ground plates.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
