Production, assembly, and manufacturing line automation | Shortened startup and stable operation through control design
Optimize the "connection" between equipment through control. Prevent troubles and achieve the fastest completion of mass production.
We solve challenges in launching automated lines, such as "the equipment works individually, but it takes time to adjust when connected in a line" and "the recovery procedures during abnormalities are unclear, leading to low operational rates." Our company is not just a machine manufacturer; we are a line builder that minimizes on-site adjustments through control design that clarifies the "responsibility boundaries" between equipment, ensuring stable operation. - We want to significantly reduce the adjustment time for launching production lines. - We want to organize the signal exchange and responsibility boundaries between equipment to reduce on-site troubles. - We want to standardize recovery procedures from minor stoppages to improve line operational rates. - We want to integrate and optimize the control of manufacturing lines involving multiple vendors. - We want to ensure the mass production of labor-saving lines to address labor shortages. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By incorporating recoverability from the design stage, we dramatically shorten the launch period and maximize the effectiveness of labor-saving investments. We prevent dependency on individuals and achieve a highly maintainable production line. Please feel free to consult us comprehensively about the connections in control and recovery concepts from the conceptual stage of automation.

basic information
1. The proactive definition of "responsibility boundaries" to prevent on-site rework To prevent local troubles such as "I thought that was the other party's responsibility," we thoroughly organize the signal exchange table and startup permission conditions before delving into the details of the PLC program. This dramatically speeds up the response to issues during startup. 2. "Hard-to-stop" control design that incorporates abnormal recovery Not only for normal operation but also for scenarios such as sensor non-detection and manual intervention restarts, we design the movements during abnormal situations from the planning stage. We provide "ease of operation" that allows on-site operators to recover without hesitation. 3. Integrated capability to optimize machinery, transportation, and control in parallel We design not only for machine performance but also for preventing transportation delays and ensuring seamless control. By adopting a line builder's perspective that avoids partial optimization, we achieve the stabilization of operations after mass production starts in the shortest time possible. 【Specific Functions and Features】 - Early fixation of the signal exchange table and I/O list to preemptively eliminate communication and linkage troubles between equipment - "Abnormal recovery design" that addresses issues such as short stops, sensor non-detection, workpiece residue, and origin misalignment - Optimization of on-site operations through the visualization of recovery from partial process disconnection and restart positions - Management that integrates operational philosophy and abnormal classification even in lines with equipment from multiple manufacturers
