[Case Study Presentation] Introduction of ACAD-DENKI by Aimu Manufacturing! We will reveal the secrets behind achieving "efforts towards realizing DX" that align with the field. 1

We will introduce the secret behind achieving "initiatives for realizing DX" that are in sync with the field.

■Do you have any of the following concerns? - You are progressing with DX preparations but feel a disconnect with the on-site team. - You are not effectively utilizing drawing data. - The workload in the manufacturing site is increasing, and there is a shortage of manpower. In the control panel manufacturing sector, improving work efficiency due to a serious labor shortage has become a challenge, and like other manufacturing industries, there is an urgent need to respond to DX. However, many companies may still be clinging to traditional methods, making it difficult to prepare for DX. This case study is a valuable reference for such companies. Please feel free to download it. ■For CAD-related inquiries, please leave it to Zuken Alpha Tech.

We will introduce a case filled with key points for replacing from major general-purpose CAD.

■Do you have any of these concerns? - I want to switch to a DWG-compatible CAD, but I don't know where to start. - I want the CAD after the switch to be accepted and used by the field. - I don't know the evaluation points during the switch. Many companies are considering replacing their CAD with a DWG-compatible one for cost reduction and operational efficiency. However, even though it may seem simple to switch, there are surprisingly many things to consider, such as how to proceed with the project and adjustments with the field. By looking at this case study, you can get a concrete image of the switching process. Please feel free to download it. ■For CAD-related inquiries, please leave it to Zuken Alpha Tech.

Improvements were sought on the theme of "efficiency and cost reduction in the processes from design to manufacturing," so we introduced the Zuken Alphatech / panel wiring support system!

We are introducing the purpose of implementation (background of implementation), the reasons for choosing our system, and the effects of implementation. Originally, our main business was the design and manufacturing of control panels for our parent company, Nikko Co., Ltd. However, with the aim of future business expansion, we began manufacturing distribution boards and control panels for other companies' products. Nevertheless, since we were latecomers in the market for other companies' products, competitiveness became an issue. The management requested improvements with the theme of "efficiency and cost reduction in the processes from design to manufacturing," and the design group spent time gathering information while going through trial and error. ▼ Reasons for choosing Zuken Alphatech / Panel Wiring Support System - As a manufacturer (development/sales/support) of electrical control CAD, they had many years of experience and achievements. - Through our own verification before implementation, we identified the potential for a system that could achieve "efficiency from design to manufacturing." - A consistent support system was prepared from design to manufacturing operations, and they provided accurate support from the pre-implementation stage. Please check the actual implementation effects through the related links below. For product details, please refer to the catalog.

[New Feature Details Now Available] Supporting data utilization in the familiar .dwg format. Reducing "errors" and "losses" in electrical control design.

■Do you have such issues? Mistakes and time losses occur in paper-based inspection and parts aggregation. Inconsistent drawing styles lead to non-uniform diagrams. Data integration is impossible, making it difficult to shorten the design-to-manufacturing lead time. ■Are you spending time on operations like these? - Creating electrical diagrams with general-purpose CAD. - Manually checking relay contacts. - Manually picking parts and creating a separate parts list. - Clicking and editing IO addresses and comments one by one. The entire industry is being asked to miniaturize products and reduce wiring, leading to increased workloads. However, the labor shortage is becoming serious, increasing the burden on each employee. To respond to future modular design needs, it is necessary to improve such manual electrical control design. By implementing ACAD-DENKI 2025, it is possible to solve the challenges you face. ■Features An operating experience that extends from AutoCAD/BricsCAD. Smooth data exchange with other companies. Free from paper drawings and markers. Options for integration with manufacturing. Customization support!

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.
