[Case Study] Efficiency Improvement through the Automation of Kannon (Two-Fold) Bookbinding

A case where it became possible to expand processing from in-house production quantities to outsourcing binding requests!

We will introduce a case where the "MITABEST machine" for on-demand binding has been implemented, achieving efficiency improvements in the binding of architectural and civil engineering drawings through the mechanization of Kannon (folded) binding. We have addressed the challenges faced by copy offices and Kannon (folded) binding shops, such as "binding being done manually, resulting in long working hours" and "the finished product being uneven due to manual brush application." With a processing capacity of 100 sheets per minute that does not depend on the operator, we can offer same-day delivery and accommodate ultra-fast binding. Additionally, we can move away from manual binding methods, achieving speed and quality improvements through mechanization. [Challenges] ■ Binding is done manually, resulting in long working hours. ■ Manual brush application leads to uneven finished products. ■ Due to the nature of skilled labor, successors are not being trained. ■ The aging of skilled workers poses a risk to the company's sustainability if they retire. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
