Solving issues such as quality variation by operators and securing personnel with robots.

We will introduce a case where issues such as securing and training personnel, the closure of outsourcing partners, and quality variations due to workers were resolved through the introduction of robots for the first time!

At the aluminum die-casting line that operated with 14 personnel in two shifts around the clock, securing human resources became difficult, and as production numbers increased, variations in quality and inspection errors also rose. The closure of subcontractors and a decline in employee retention rates compounded the issue, making the creation of a "system that does not rely on people" an urgent challenge. Additionally, the rising costs of recruitment and the aging of skilled workers made the transfer of skills increasingly difficult, highlighting the need to establish a sustainable production system. In response, our company implemented a one-stop solution focusing on "creating a system that does not rely on people," from identifying on-site challenges to conceptual design and operational support. We assessed the current situation, organized issues, and evaluated the feasibility of automation, providing a comprehensive response from conceptualization, system configuration, detailed design, manufacturing, to startup. We established a fully automated line, reducing the workforce from 14 personnel. By in-house production of subcontracted processes, we achieved stabilization of the supply system. This has enabled flexible line operations that can balance quality and productivity without the worry of securing human resources.
