WIRE CAM DX Introduction Case Study <Dainichi Seisakusho Co., Ltd.>

Since its establishment in 1980, Meito Panel Co., Ltd., a "specialized manufacturer of panel production" that assembles control panels, distribution boards, and cubicles, has introduced 'WIRE CAM DX' to focus on digitalizing panel assembly through various innovations without sticking to traditional methods. Here are the effects of the introduction. ■ Effects After Implementation - Significantly reduced the man-hours required for data creation necessary for manufacturing by easily converting wiring design results into Excel data. - Directly imported wire number data into the mark tube printer for printing processing. - Successfully reduced material waste by about 30-40% by producing wires for doors and other components in precise sizes. - Outsourced wires and ducts for increased efficiency. - Increased the number of wiring personnel. - Shortened wiring work from 80 hours to about 60 hours. - Unified wiring routes, improving product quality. ■ Product Features 'WIRE CAM DX' is simulation software that can create production information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - Tasks can be transitioned to non-technical personnel, allowing for increased production capacity through the establishment of a division of labor.

At Asahi Co., Ltd., which operates its business with two pillars: the design and manufacturing of control panels and the design and manufacturing of medical devices (ISO 13485 certified), there was a sense of crisis regarding reliance on veteran workers for assembly and wiring tasks, as well as the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. As a result, they introduced 'WIRE CAM DX'. Here, we will introduce the effects of this implementation. ■ Background of Implementation - A sense of crisis regarding the production system's reliance on veteran workers for assembly and wiring tasks and the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. - Promotion of standardization of tasks to improve the work efficiency of younger and novice workers. ■ Effects After Implementation - Over 90% of orders are processed using data created with WIRE CAM DX. - Manufacturing of custom items has become possible for anyone. - The assembly and wiring workforce in the manufacturing department has been increased by 10 new employees. - A 30% reduction in wire usage. - Easier inventory management as wire usage can be understood before wiring. - A significant reduction in inquiries from manufacturing to design. ■ Product Features 'WIRE CAM DX' is a simulation software that can create production information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - Tasks can be transitioned to non-technical personnel, allowing for increased production capacity through the establishment of a division of labor.

We would like to introduce how the introduction of "WIRE CAM DX" has resolved the strong sense of crisis regarding the aging of wiring workers at Daiichi Seisakusho Co., Ltd., which broadly engages in equipment design and system design with the manufacturing of distribution boards, control panels, and sub-distribution boards as its core. ■ Background of Introduction - Strong sense of crisis regarding the aging of wiring workers - Establishing a system where anyone can manufacture products with the same quality - Simultaneously aiming for standardization ■ Effects After Introduction - Approximately 15% reduction in overall man-hours from design to manufacturing within about a year and a half after introduction - Changed wiring design to be able to standardize wiring routes and know-how into data and rules - After about six months of training post-operation start, individuals can independently read drawings and perform wiring tasks - Reduction of man-hours and improvement of quality by mechanizing manual work through data linkage to wire processing machines - Overall quality level of products has also improved ■ Product Features "WIRE CAM DX" is simulation software that can create manufacturing information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - It can be transitioned to work by non-technical personnel, allowing for an increase in production volume through the establishment of a division of labor system.
