[Resin Molding - On-Site Improvement Case] Increased Work Efficiency through Identification of Equipment Downtime Causes and Countermeasures

Monthly equipment downtime reduced by 63.3%! Introducing a case study on the IoT tool 'Genba Vision' that produces reliable effects with a small start.

The on-site improvement IoT tool 'Genba Vision' developed by Matsuda Electric Industry Co., Ltd. is an IoT system that allows anyone to easily and intuitively operate functions such as recording production status and handling operations during abnormal detection using a touch panel monitor. We would like to introduce a case study where it was implemented in a manufacturing site. 【'Genba Vision' Case Study】 ◎ Target: Resin molding manufacturer ◎ Challenge: Frequency of machine equipment stoppages ■ Situation Before Implementation When resin is poured into a mold and solidified, the finished molded product and runners would scatter, causing them to get stuck in the mold and leading to machine equipment stoppages. ■ After Implementation (Data Analysis and Cause Investigation) Data analysis with this product revealed that stoppages due to mold jamming accounted for a significant 50% of the overall issues. ■ After Implementation (Countermeasures for Equipment Stoppages) By processing inexpensive commercially available plastic products and installing them as covers, we were able to prevent the scattering of molded products and runners, resulting in a 63.3% reduction in monthly equipment stoppages caused by the same issue! *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
