[New Article Introduction] Itopla!: What is the key to realizing smart factories, "Local 5G"?

The manufacturing execution system ProManageMES enables a factory resilient to changes through visualization of the manufacturing site!

Three Features of the "Manufacturing Execution System ProManage MES" 【Feature 1: Implementation is possible with a small start!】 Depending on the factory's situation and budget, the system can be flexibly implemented with only the necessary functions at the right timing. Additionally, with the release of the cloud version of ProManage in February 2021, it has become more affordable to start small. 【Feature 2: A management-oriented, overall optimization system!】 This system is in line with the Industry 4.0 concept, with many successful implementations in Europe, including Germany. Based on international standards (ISA-95 and ISO22400), it allows for smooth data integration between factories and with overseas ERP systems. 【Feature 3: Supports the establishment of a resilient manufacturing system!】 This system quickly responds to various external changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization, while maintaining and strengthening the QCD improvements that have been pursued in Japanese manufacturing for many years.

Less affected by environmental changes due to natural light or dimming! We support over 1 million SKUs without a master.

The "IHI Piece Picking System" realizes the automation and labor-saving of picking operations, supporting over 1 million SKUs without the need for a master file. It can handle items that were previously unrecognizable by conventional technology, such as transparent packages, items with surfaces that reflect light, and irregular shapes, eliminating the need for SKU (item shape, etc.) registration. No additional learning is required, and teaching tasks for the robot are unnecessary. 【Features】 ■ Designed to support over 1 million SKUs ■ Reduced object recognition time ■ Less susceptible to environmental changes caused by natural light or dimming *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
