TOYO DENSO staffs, who have experience in DX implementation both in-house and at other companies, will accompany and support your DX introduction.
Accelerating DX for small and medium-sized
manufacturing companies
FRICS Fab is a project by TD Holdings Co., Ltd. in Hiroshima Prefecture to promote DX for small and medium-sized companies.
What is FRICS Fab?
Here's what you can do through FRICS Fab.
Two Approaches
to Collaboratively Support
Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises.
For those who want to make complex information in the manufacturing industry easier to understand.
Productivity Enhancement App
We offer an application that visualizes manufacturing information and provides customizable production management tailored to manufacturing models, making it easy to understand and use for both managers and workers.
Case Example
Here are some of the changes that have occurred at a control panel manufacturing factory.
3 changes that occurred in control panel manufacturing after introducing DX.
1
Increased productivity and
35.6% waste reduction
Tools are shared.
Video analysis of work revealed that sharing tools results in wasted movements.
1.Move to pick up and return the tool.
2.Wait time while other workers are using the tool.
Tools are provided for each worker.
Many small and medium-sized companies share expensive tools, but video digitized the craftsman's movements, and the reduction of this move and wait time could be compared to the capital investment.
By providing a tool for each person, we succeeded in reducing 35.6% of unnecessary movements in some tasks.
2
Paperless drawings
reduced paper resources and scanning time
Work is managed by paper drawings.
Previously, designers and manufacturing personnel printed out a set of dozens of drawings.
1. Fill in the modifications in drawings by manufacturing side and discuss with designers.
2. Reprint after correction.
3. Printed again in the inspection process and the inspection results are filled in the drawing and scanned into data.
Work is managed by data.
All work is completed on the data (PDF).
In addition, memos at each step of the manufacturing process are kept in data, rather than on paper, to significantly improve work efficiency, accumulate data, and share information in real time.
3
Discovering craftsmanship and clarifying work
Everyone does the same work.
We categorized difficult tasks that can only be done by craftsmen and tasks that can be done by robots or new workers, and clarified the appropriate person in charge of the tasks.
Determining the wiring route of a control panel is actually a very difficult "craftsmanship" that is difficult for designers and others to do.
Right person in the right place.
"Right person in the right place." means that we have reviewed the distribution of work so that craftsmen can focus on high value-added work by placing the right person in the right place.
