There was a big difference in operating occupancy rates between the two kilns used for the rough denim process.
※Washing kilns A and B are the same type of kiln but different sizes.
Washing kilns A ：80%
Washing kilns B：30%

Solution Menu
Equipment Operation
Monitoring System
Visualize the relationship between facility operation and operations by extracting data as a first step to optimize the utilization rate.
Automatic Measurement
Inspection System
AI image recognition enables automatic measurement inspections that require human resources.
Plant Simulator
We propose improvements by digitally visualizing the movements of people, objects, and machines, and by constructing a digital twin of the manufacturing plant.
Robot Solution
Robots are introduced to manufacturing plants to improve plant production efficiency.
Case Example
Here are some of the changes that have occurred in control panel manufacturing.
- Own-brand denim manufacturing
Soja Caitac Factory, CAITAC INTERNATIONAL, INC. Discover bias in machine operating occupancy rates through video analysis
Improve operational efficiency
Unbalanced operating occupacy rate
Improve operating occupancy rate differentials
By clearly presenting the data, the difference in the usage rate of washing kilns A and B improved.
We were able to numerically identify issues that were not visible while the on-site staff was working hard.
- Control panel manufacturing
TOYODENSO Co., Ltd. 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.
- Control panel manufacturing
TOYODENSO Co., Ltd. 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.
