The content of the ongoing BricsCAD case study collection has been updated.

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.

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.

Successful early cultivation of the groundwork for realizing DX through efforts to improve the efficiency of electrical design utilizing data.

Implementing Company: Aimu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Business Description: Design/Manufacturing/Test Operation of Control Devices and Distribution Boards ■Challenges Before Implementation Operations and management were paper-based without providing attribute information to drawings. Standardization of design was not achieved. There was a complete reliance on customization, leading to a lack of scalability. ■Reasons for Introducing ACAD-DENKI Ability to use drawing functions of AutoCAD/BricsCAD, providing high flexibility and ease of implementation on-site. Data utilization through the provision of attribute information is possible. A wide range of built-in standard functions allows for operation without relying on customization. ■Specific Initiatives Improved search efficiency through the addition of properties. Organized parts master, with manual input limited to order elements only. Integration with parts procurement sheets and production management systems. Collaboration with manufacturing for equipment label data, etc. ■Effects As a result of these initiatives, a reduction of 14 to 20 hours of labor per order was achieved. Manual tasks were eliminated, leading to improved accuracy, standardization of work, and increased efficiency. From this experience, a foundation for utilizing data over manual work has been cultivated within the company for the past ten years, enabling smooth progress towards digital transformation (DX) without resistance.

Attendance management is something that is expected of every company and should be addressed. When asked, "Are you doing it?" it might be more concerning to hear, "Are you doing it correctly?" which could make some responsible parties feel anxious. You may be using time cards for clocking in, but are unsure about overtime calculations. You might be having employees input data into Excel, but how does that stand in terms of legal compliance? You may be managing paid leave on paper, but there’s no room for double-checking. Employee resignations may be ongoing, but could this be due to overwork...? Why not review the various pros and cons of different attendance management methods and revisit the important aspects of attendance management from the "basics"?
