Since its establishment in 1980, Meito Panel Co., Ltd., a "specialized manufacturer of panel production" that assembles control panels, distribution boards, and cubicles, has introduced 'WIRE CAM DX' to focus on digitalizing panel assembly through various innovations without sticking to traditional methods. Here are the effects of the introduction. ■ Effects After Implementation - Significantly reduced the man-hours required for data creation necessary for manufacturing by easily converting wiring design results into Excel data. - Directly imported wire number data into the mark tube printer for printing processing. - Successfully reduced material waste by about 30-40% by producing wires for doors and other components in precise sizes. - Outsourced wires and ducts for increased efficiency. - Increased the number of wiring personnel. - Shortened wiring work from 80 hours to about 60 hours. - Unified wiring routes, improving product quality. ■ Product Features 'WIRE CAM DX' is simulation software that can create production information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - Tasks can be transitioned to non-technical personnel, allowing for increased production capacity through the establishment of a division of labor.

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 regarding reliance on veteran workers for assembly and wiring tasks, as well as the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. As a result, they introduced 'WIRE CAM DX'. Here, we will introduce the effects of this implementation. ■ Background of Implementation - A sense of crisis regarding the production system's reliance on veteran workers for assembly and wiring tasks and the intensifying competition among control panel manufacturers. - Promotion of standardization of tasks to improve the work efficiency of younger and novice workers. ■ Effects After Implementation - Over 90% of orders are processed using data created with WIRE CAM DX. - Manufacturing of custom items has become possible for anyone. - The assembly and wiring workforce in the manufacturing department has been increased by 10 new employees. - A 30% reduction in wire usage. - Easier inventory management as wire usage can be understood before wiring. - A significant reduction in inquiries from manufacturing to design. ■ Product Features 'WIRE CAM DX' is a simulation software that can create production information for panels from design drawings. - In addition to CAD data, various files can be used for wiring design. - Tasks can be transitioned to non-technical personnel, allowing for increased production capacity through the establishment of a division of labor.

We would like to introduce the issues that were challenges at Nakazaku Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of industrial machinery, and the points and effects that were resolved through the introduction of the dedicated electrical design CAD solution 'ECAD DCX.' ■ Background of Introduction - In 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, management instructed each department to "set important mid-term initiatives for their own department and establish goals and action plans." - There were significant differences in work and technical proficiency among members, leading to a concentration of work on a few individuals, which resulted in long working hours becoming a problem. ■ Reasons for Adopting ECAD DCX - ECAD DCX was adopted as a new electrical CAD because it has abundant design support features and its operability is similar to the previously used ECAD dio, allowing for a smooth startup. ■ Effects After Introduction - Automatic checks for missing parts and consistency between drawings eliminated inquiries from control panel manufacturers, significantly reducing overtime hours. - By using the cabinet collaboration function, mistakes were completely eliminated, making the arrangement of cabinets much easier. - Standardizing the parts master and operational rules allowed designers to focus on creating drawings, and the maintenance of the parts master was also smoothly managed.
