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."

The housing industry is currently facing a significant turning point due to factors such as population decline, a reduction in demand for new construction, and intensified price competition. This seminar will clearly explain the "business model transformation strategies" necessary for construction companies to survive and continue to grow in such a challenging environment. We will introduce specific approaches that can be immediately applied on-site, along with a roadmap to success.

Nitto Kohki will hold the "2025 Attack Fair in Meiko" for two days from July 23 (Wednesday) to July 24 (Thursday), 2025, at the "Kowa Seminar Plaza 2F Training Room No. 12 (inside Kowa Sports Land)." The Attack Fair is an exhibition where you can actually "see, touch, and operate" Nitto Kohki's products. Additionally, there will be wonderful souvenirs for attendees and many fun activities prepared. We look forward to welcoming everyone!

ODS Corporation, a manufacturer of business information terminals (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Kiyoshi Sunanaga), in collaboration with Magconn Corporation (headquartered in Kokubunji City, Tokyo, President: Satoshi Inoue), will showcase its business tablets at the "HCJ2026 International Hotel and Restaurant Show" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from February 17 (Tuesday) to 20 (Friday), 2026. We will present the Android model "TA2C-NF8" equipped with an NFC reader/writer, which can be utilized in restaurants and hotels, as well as the Windows model "TW2A-NF9LTA" with an NFC reader/writer, which will be unveiled for the first time at this exhibition and is scheduled for release in March. By combining these products with Magconn's charging system, which allows for stable charging with a one-touch magnetic attachment, we aim to propose improvements in operational efficiency and the creation of new business opportunities utilizing NFC solutions.

The Practical Solution Fair is one of Japan's largest IT comprehensive exhibitions, hosted by Otsuka Shokai, held once a year. This year's theme is "Expanding with AI! Complete DX."
