【Effects of Introducing ACAD-DENKI】 No more mistakes! Time has been reduced! We will introduce cases where improvements were successful and efficiency increased!

【Client】 Control Device, Power Distribution Board Manufacturer, Company A, Technical Department 【Background of ACAD-DENKI Introduction】 The client was considering updating their CAD system due to the aging of hardware, including servers. However, it became clear that the costs associated with hardware updates, such as OS and software version upgrades and the migration of customizations, would be significant, leading to a plan for a fundamental review. They compared and evaluated multiple electrical CAD systems, including ACAD-DENKI, while borrowing them for practical testing. The key points of consideration included the implementation of feasible functions for new initiatives, the extent to which current operations could be maintained without customization, and the responsiveness of the manufacturer and distributor. As a result of this evaluation, they decided to adopt ACAD-DENKI. 【Reasons for Choosing ACAD-DENKI】 ● It excelled in maintenance tasks such as attribute addition and system updates without relying on a standard package. ● They could perceive the potential for data utilization, expandability, and future prospects through attributes. ● Detailed settings were possible during drafting, which raised expectations for drafting efficiency. ● They appreciated the user-oriented approach in considering solutions for their requests.

What are the attractions of electrical CAD widely used in the electric manufacturing industry!?

■How does it compare to other companies' electrical CAD? 1. It is the No.1 electrical CAD in Japan based on .dwg. 2. It is a user-oriented electrical CAD that reflects customer requests in the next version. 3. Staff with knowledge of electrical design provide early launch support and comprehensive assistance. 4. It is an electrical CAD that can flexibly accommodate customization. ■What is the difference between general-purpose CAD and ACAD-DENKI? 【In the case of general-purpose CAD】 1. General-purpose CAD takes time to create drawings. 2. General-purpose CAD cannot reuse data. 3. Necessary information cannot be extracted from general-purpose CAD. 4. All drawing checks are done visually with general-purpose CAD. 【In the case of ACAD-DENKI】 1. Efficiently creates drawings using electrical-specific commands. 2. Eliminates waste during drawing creation with commands that support reuse design. 3. Extracts information from drawings and automatically creates parts lists and FromTo lists. 4. Automatically checks multiple drawings.

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system "ACAD-DENKI" Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By implementing our developed and sold electrical design CAD "ACAD-DENKI," they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled the utilization of data for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. Through repeated proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, further data integration is being advanced. [Challenges before implementation] - Reducing mistakes and losses in design operations - Cost reduction of existing electrical CAD and pursuit of cost-effectiveness - Utilization of design data for subsequent processes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design? We will answer such questions! Let's take "ACAD-DENKI" as an example.

We will hold a webinar titled "Introduction to CAD for Electrical Design" to solve the problems faced by electrical designers. Dear electrical designers, Are you facing challenges such as: - "I conduct document reviews on paper. It takes time and is prone to errors..." - "The way drawings are created varies by person. There is a lack of consistency, which increases the effort needed for corrections..." - "I manually extract parts. Ordering mistakes happen frequently..." This webinar will provide clear answers to the question, "What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design?" [Overview] - Date and Time: Please check this page for the next schedule. https://www.alfatech.jp/seminar/acad-denki_webinar.html - Method: Online via Zoom - Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) - Capacity: 20 participants - Registration Deadline: Three days before the event date (Please note that registration may close before the deadline if capacity is reached) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Wiring/measurement processing support system that can shorten 10% to 40% of the manufacturing process time.

"Wiring PLAN 2D/3D" is a wiring and measurement support system created with know-how familiar with the manufacturing site. ■ Do you have these concerns? ■ - Short manufacturing deadlines - Difficulty in training part-time employees - Hard to divide tasks even when busy It performs wiring and measurement processing from drawings created using the electrical and control design CAD system "ACAD-DENKI" and the 3D panel drawing software "3D Panel Drawing," outputting data that can be used with various wiring processing machines. The digitization of design and manufacturing information contributes to time savings by preventing mistakes in drawings and wiring lists (FromTo lists, back diagrams, etc.) and making management easier. ■ Features ■ ▼ Efficiency can be achieved through the digitization of the manufacturing process. - Wiring information can be checked from circuit diagrams and implementation diagrams before manufacturing. - Preparation of wires, mark tubes, equipment labels, etc., can be done before the completion of the enclosure. ▼ Prevents dependency on individuals and eliminates variations in quality. - Task division is possible with wiring lists (FromTo lists, back diagram lists, etc.). - A work method based on FromTo information prevents variations in quality. * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We have released a "trial version app (browser version)" that allows you to freely test the "blinking detection technology" developed using joint patent technology with Panasonic, directly in your browser. No application, installation, or membership registration is required. It measures blinking for 30 seconds using your PC's built-in camera or your smartphone's camera, displaying the number of blinks, the rate per minute, the duration of closed eyes (average and longest), and the intervals between blinks in real-time. The camera footage is processed within the browser, and neither the video nor the measurement results are sent externally. Additionally, we have started online sales of the "blinking detection app (Windows version)" that allows unlimited measurements for research and verification purposes. It supports recording and CSV output, with prices set at 33,000 yen for general users and 16,500 yen for academic institutions (tax included, per license, one-time purchase). The camera input version and the file input version are sold separately. For integration into products and services, we also offer the "blinking detection SDK" (with a one-month free trial version available).

We will begin providing a new solution for construction companies, the "Specific Voice Detection Edge AI System," utilizing the development and operational insights from the "Specific Vehicle Detection System" co-developed with Toda Corporation, starting in September 2026. This system applies the technology of the productivity-enhancing AI camera "PROLICA" to pre-learn and analyze specific voice data collected by outdoor microphones, allowing AI to detect target sounds in real-time on-site. By using voice detection, it will be possible to early detect the presence of approaching emergency vehicles even in environments where traditional visual checks or image analysis by AI cameras are difficult due to obstructions like buildings or curves. By linking with various devices and automating the control of construction vehicle departures and alerts to workers, it contributes to improving safety at construction sites and surrounding roads. ■ Main Features of This System 1. High-precision detection using voice AI 2. Safety management independent of visibility 3. Real-time processing with edge AI For more details, please check the linked page.
