[Overview of Vanning Master] P144～ - A system that calculates the optimal loading method for trucks, pallets, and warehouses by considering various conditions such as weight balance and work efficiency for multiple different shapes and sizes of cargo. - By cloudifying the loading management system, services are offered at a low cost. Additionally, a free version is available, allowing users to confirm the effectiveness of the loading management system before implementation. - Since it can also calculate loading for pallets and within warehouses, not only logistics operators but also shippers and warehouse operators can benefit from implementing this system.

• Scientific Calculation and Simulation Software

Cost reduction through visualization of container export loading! ~Aiming to reduce transportation costs amidst low shipping volumes~

"VM-Cloud" is a web service that calculates the loading methods for products onto containers, trucks, pallets, etc., and automatically outputs the optimal loading plan through a simulation system. We have created a video on cost reduction methods using VM-Cloud. There is no need for system implementation costs, and it can be used at a low price. Additionally, unlike volume calculations, it allows for precise 3D visualization of loading. This video is intended for the following companies: <Assumptions> - Unable to assign a dedicated person for shipping volume. - Want to eliminate the reliance on specific individuals. - Want to reduce container costs with minimal investment. - Want to engage in work style reform/innovation. - Want to switch to factory vanning. Being cloud-based, it can be used anytime and anywhere, and the calculation results can be shared through various functions. We encourage you to consider this video as a communication tool for reducing transportation costs across various departments involved in logistics. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Fare reduction, automatic selection of packaging boxes, work efficiency improvement, work standardization.

The box selection BOX engine (algorithm) is a system designed to improve packaging and reduce shipping costs in mail order and similar businesses. It quickly calculates the minimum packaging cardboard for an order in bulk within a limited time. The internal dimensions of the outer box, as well as the size and weight of the products, are essential. There are implementation results in apparel and miscellaneous goods.

Space utilization with AI (loading optimization technology)! ~Instant calculation of loading based on size information~

"VM-Cloud" is a simulation system that calculates the loading methods for products onto containers, trucks, pallets, etc., and automatically outputs the optimal loading plan as a web service. 【New Service】 The results automatically calculated on the cloud screen can be imported to a local PC, allowing for free layout changes using a manual loading program executed locally. The results modified by hand can be uploaded back to the cloud screen, enabling the output of loading diagrams based on the manually adjusted results. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The Banning Master is a system that simulates optimal loading plans. It carefully introduces how to utilize it and the effects of implementation, including multiple case studies.

The Vanning Master is a simulation system that can automatically calculate the loading methods for products into containers and trucks. It calculates with the aim of minimizing the number of containers and trucks, performing loading simulations similar to those of skilled workers. The benefits of implementation are as follows: 1. It enables truck arrangements at the order stage. 2. It can flexibly respond to additions or cancellations of transported goods. 3. Anyone can simulate like a field expert. The case study collection "Shall We Systematize the Improvement of Loading Rates?" carefully introduces various ways to utilize the Vanning Master and its implementation effects, including multiple case studies.

Software that can simulate the optimal loading plan!

This product is software that can automatically calculate the method of loading goods onto containers and trucks. It calculates with the aim of minimizing the number of containers and trucks while considering the strength and weight (center of gravity) of cardboard boxes. At the time of order confirmation, it can guarantee the number of transport vehicles such as trucks, allowing even office staff to create loading plans similar to those of experienced field workers. 【Features】 ■ Capable of calculating with the aim of minimizing the number of containers and trucks ■ Considers the strength and weight (center of gravity) of cardboard boxes ■ Takes into account the workability of loading and unloading *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The facility operating the nurse call system has made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
