Hitachi Chemical Industries puts into practice! A successful case of reducing capital investment by 15%, leading to improved profit margins, is available for free download!
Hitachi Chemical Industry, leveraging the advanced technological capabilities cultivated since its founding, has introduced the manufacturing line optimization support tool "RaAP" to respond to the latest market needs. This tool is utilized for layout considerations within the factory and production capacity assessments, facilitating consensus among on-site stakeholders and achieving improved production efficiency, including a reduction in the number of equipment units. 【Challenges Before Implementation】 ○ When considering production capacity, decisions could only be made based on past empirical rules, making accurate predictions difficult. ○ There was a desire to smooth the consensus-building process with on-site stakeholders, such as the manufacturing and production technology departments, to enhance the speed of improving material flow. ○ They were looking for simulation software that could be easily and continuously used without requiring complex operations or programming knowledge. ■ A collection of successful case studies that solved such challenges is available for free! ■

basic information
----■【We will be exhibiting at the 23rd Design and Manufacturing Solutions Exhibition!】■---- During the period from June 20 to 22, those who visit our booth will be able to rent this product for free. Experience its amazing operability. ◆What is RaAP? RaAP (Rapid Assessment of Automation Processes) is a production capacity simulator that allows for quantitative evaluation of the effects of new production line setups and improvements. It is increasingly being utilized by major manufacturing companies in Japan. We support efforts to enhance production technology, such as layout improvements, reducing non-productive time, and considerations for multi-machine and multi-process operations, as well as the transfer of technology during the establishment of overseas factories. ・Implementation Effects Production capacity can be quantified, allowing for high-accuracy verification of improvement proposals that reflect various hypotheses and conditions. The 3D interface makes it easier to share images before and after changes with on-site stakeholders, reducing the time required for consensus building. With a Windows-compliant interface, intuitive operation has improved the speed of the CAP-Do cycle.
