Case Study | Improvement of Quality Management System through DX of Tool Management
For details, please refer to 【Yutaka Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Case Study Details】. <Background of Implementation> In the development and manufacturing of electrical components used in railway vehicles, it is essential to establish a high-quality management system to thoroughly pursue quality and safety. We have implemented rigorous management of over 600 tools and measuring instruments, including their usage and calibration status. To further enhance quality management, we began exploring tool management utilizing RFID technology. <Effects After Implementation> - Improvement in quality management through the RFID system for tool check-out and return operations The calibration deadline can now be verified through a combination of physical labels and PC screen alerts, allowing for higher-level quality management without increasing the workload. - Visualization of operations We can now track who used what and when, enabling quick responses to any instances of forgotten returns by promptly checking with the user. Since usage records can be output in CSV format, we can analyze usage frequency and optimize inventory, leading to more effective asset utilization.

basic information
RFID Tool Checkout Management System - System Features This is a system that manages the checkout and return of tools using RFID technology. By simply touching tools or measuring instruments with an IC tag, the checkout and return registration can be easily performed. Additionally, by registering the calibration expiration date of measuring instruments, it is possible to prevent the use of instruments that have not been calibrated after their expiration date by warning the user on the screen if they attempt to check them out. Real-time inventory status and tool usage history can also be instantly grasped.

<Points of Introduction> - Registration of Borrowing and Returning with IC Tags By touching tools equipped with IC tags to a stationary reader on the desk, it is possible to register borrowing and returning. Since there is no manual input, it prevents input errors and improves the efficiency of the registration process. - Management of Calibration Deadlines Measurement instruments that require calibration have their calibration deadlines registered. If a measurement instrument with an expired calibration deadline is touched, it will be displayed in red and a warning will be given to the borrower. Additionally, it is possible to specify a range for calibration deadlines and extract data from the management item list or inventory inquiry screen, ensuring reliable calibration implementation. - Metal-Compatible IC Tags To be attached to tools, small ceramic-processed metal-compatible tags are used to avoid interfering with operations or tasks.
