【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 updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
