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.

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.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
