Case Study on the Utilization of Manufacturing Execution System (MES): "Identifying Issues in Job Shop Processes"

I want to promote the digital transformation (DX) of the manufacturing site. However, "I can't visualize how to utilize the data..." "I have the data, but I'm not able to use it effectively..." Many people may have such concerns, right? In this article, for those who are considering how to utilize the collected and accumulated data, I will introduce a case study on identifying issues in job shop processes using data from the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

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.

Three Key Points of Digital Transformation in Manufacturing Industry

From a time when it was surprising for each person to have a mobile phone, we have now entered an era where it is completely normal to use smartphones equipped with cameras and operated with a single screen. Amidst the remarkably rapid pace of technological innovation, various industries are focusing on "digital transformation." In the manufacturing sector, there is a need for flexible responses to various environmental changes such as "the arrival of an era where products do not sell," "diversification of customer needs," "labor shortages," and "the impact of COVID-19." To address this, "digital transformation in manufacturing" is essential for building a resilient manufacturing system through the digitalization of the industry. This article will explain key points for advancing digital transformation in manufacturing, including "clarifying objectives and goals," "starting small," and "combining visualization with response."

2025 Drainage Treatment Course We are offering three courses online: Basic Law, Basic Management, and Knowledge Enhancement! This year, the courses are scheduled for May, July, September, November, and January 2025. Applications are currently being accepted. We look forward to your application.

The 34th Environmental Forum will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2025. The Environmental Forum is an event organized by our company in June, which is Environment Month, to encourage many people to think about environmental issues. [Content] Coastal areas that have increased biological productivity and biodiversity due to human involvement are referred to as "satoumi" (satoumi means "sea of the village"). In Part 1, we will introduce what satoumi creation is and how it is developed, using real examples. Additionally, various conservation activities for biodiversity are being carried out in different forms, starting with satoumi creation. In Part 2, we will discuss the current status and future prospects of biodiversity conservation, starting from satoumi. Participation is free of charge. [How to Participate] ZOOM Webinar or Wink Aichi (venue) [Program] 13:30 Opening Remarks 13:45 Part 1: Creating Satoumi Aiming for Coexistence of "People" and "Nature" 14:45 Break 15:00 Part 2: The "Present" and "Future" of Biodiversity 16:00 Part 3: Q&A Session 16:30 Closing Remarks

We are pleased to announce the archive distribution of our seminar titled "Easily Create User-Friendly Manuals for Both People and Generative AI with StockNaut." We will provide a clear explanation of the kintone plugin "StockNaut," which allows you to write text while pasting multiple images into a multi-line text field. The "Markdown syntax" adopted by StockNaut enables the creation of text that is easy for both people and generative AI to read. By combining generative AI, you can experience the benefits of StockNaut at 120%! If you are having trouble with document creation, including manuals, we look forward to your participation. 【Timetable】 - Introduction to StockNaut - Introduction of internal use cases at FCS - Demonstration of the combined use of StockNaut and generative AI - Q&A session We look forward to your applications.
