ゼネテック List of Products and Services

At the Material Handling Division of Tsubakimoto Chain Co., we leverage the technology we have cultivated to engage in transportation, specifically the movement of goods. In the development methods for creating prototypes, there were three main challenges. To address these challenges, we considered development in a virtual space. As a result, we decided to adopt 'FlexSim,' which allows us to simulate almost all processes up to market launch. As a result of the implementation, we experienced a development period that felt reduced to less than half. Additionally, development can now be carried out with a smaller team than before. **Main Effects of Implementation:** - Development period for new products is halved - Knowledge sharing and consensus among team members - Feasible estimates under actual conditions *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The "Learning Factory" being developed by Yamanaka Metal Works Co., Ltd. is based on the concept of a highly intelligent autonomous control type unmanned factory that utilizes data acquired in real-time. When providing services and equipment design to stakeholders and customers in the production site, we believed that using simulations that model the factory's equipment in 3D would allow for explanations with much stronger persuasive power than just using machine drawings and presentation materials. This belief was the catalyst for considering the introduction of 'FlexSim.' In addition to the transport operations of multiple processing machines and robots, we also meticulously reproduced the movements of the people involved. From the simulation results, it was found that more working time was spent on production tasks in different processes than on the main production operations within the model factory. [Case Overview] ■ Purpose: To demonstrate solutions to urgent issues faced by the domestic manufacturing industry ■ Selection: Focused on user-friendly 3D simulation features *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
