[New Article Introduction] Itopura!: Three Key Points of Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

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.

We exhibited at the 5th Smart Factory EXPO 2021 (January 20-22, 2021) with the theme of "Realizing a manufacturing system resilient to change."

Itoh Shokai exhibited at the "5th Smart Factory EXPO 2021," held from January 20 (Wednesday) to January 22 (Friday) at Tokyo Big Sight, Aomi Exhibition Hall, along with the concurrently held "Smart Factory EXPO 2021 Online Exhibition." Although this exhibition was held under a state of emergency, we participated while implementing thorough COVID-19 safety measures based on guidelines from the government, local authorities, and the exhibition industry. We would like to introduce the scenes from the Smart Factory EXPO 2021 held at Tokyo Big Sight, Aomi Exhibition Hall, and the concurrently held online exhibition.

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.

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.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who want to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520." 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy passageway ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passageways ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing to minimize power consumption, contributing to energy-saving effects ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close simply by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I am worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as pedestrian collisions and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask that you arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
