ECAD DCX Implementation Case Study <Tomi Industrial Co., Ltd.>

At Asahi Co., Ltd., which operates its business with two pillars: the design and manufacturing of control panels, and the design and manufacturing of medical devices (ISO 13485 certified), there was a sense of crisis due to reliance on veteran workers for the assembly and wiring of control panels and the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. As a result, they introduced 'WIRE CAM DX'. Here, we will introduce its effects. ■ Background of Introduction - A sense of crisis regarding the production system's reliance on veteran workers for assembly and wiring, along with the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. - Promotion of standardization of work to improve the efficiency of younger and novice workers. ■ Effects After Introduction - Over 90% of orders are processed using data created with WIRE CAM DX. - Enables anyone to manufacture custom-made products. - Increased the number of assembly and wiring workers in the manufacturing department by 10. - Reduced wire usage by 30%. - Easier inventory management as wire usage can be understood before wiring. - Significant reduction in inquiries from manufacturing to design. ■ Product Features 'WIRE CAM DX' is simulation software that can create production information for panels from design drawings. - Wiring design can be done using various files in addition to CAD data. - Work can be transitioned to non-technical personnel, enabling an increase in production volume through the establishment of a division of labor system.

We would like to introduce how the introduction of "WIRE CAM DX" has addressed the strong sense of crisis regarding the aging of wiring workers at Daiichi Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which broadly engages in equipment design and system design, centered on the manufacturing of distribution boards, control panels, and sub-distribution boards. ■ Background of Introduction - A strong sense of crisis regarding the aging of wiring workers - Establishing a system where anyone can manufacture products with the same quality - Simultaneously aiming for standardization ■ Effects After Introduction - Approximately 15% reduction in overall man-hours from design to manufacturing within about a year and a half after introduction - Changed wiring design to be able to use standardized rules by digitizing wiring routes and know-how - After about six months of training post-operation start, individuals can independently read drawings and perform wiring tasks - By linking data to wire processing machines, mechanizing manual work has led to a reduction in man-hours and an improvement in quality - Overall quality level of products has also improved ■ Product Features "WIRE CAM DX" is simulation software that can create manufacturing information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - It can be transitioned to work by non-technicians, enabling an increase in production volume through the establishment of a division of labor system.
