[General Incorporated Association Eco Stage Association, Tokai Eco Stage Research Group] Notice of the Production Management System "TED" Tour (November 12, Thursday)

Japan DX Award 2025 Winner! "TED," a comprehensive production management system that dramatically transforms the productivity of small and medium-sized manufacturing industries, closely supporting the workplace.

The comprehensive production management system "TED" is a field-oriented system specialized for small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses. 1. Easy operation and field-oriented approach: Developed by active manufacturing business owners, it features an intuitive interface that is easy to use even for those who are not tech-savvy. All functions are consolidated on the home screen, allowing for straightforward navigation. 2. All-in-one high functionality: It encompasses all the necessary functions for small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, including process design for each product, automatic display of work processes, and defect alert features, all while focusing on "increasing productivity for small and medium enterprises." 3. Thorough defect countermeasures: An alert is triggered when a defect occurs, and processing cannot begin until the issue is confirmed, ensuring strict prevention of recurring mistakes of the same type. 4. Comprehensive support system: Experts familiar with small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses provide support from implementation to operation. Consulting services such as production management capability assessments are also offered, along with assistance for subsidy applications. 5. Data management through cloud services: Utilizing the cloud allows for secure data management, which is also effective as a BCP measure. In response to the challenges of "variety and small quantities" and "short delivery times" faced by small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, we promote DX and support productivity improvement.
