HERUTU ELECTRONICS CORPORATION

Hertz Electronics Co., Ltd. will update the software for its "Pokayoke Tools," a group of IoT tools that support the prevention of operator errors (Pokayoke) in production processes such as assembly and inspection, which require high quality. The update will add the "Communication Log Storage for Tool-Used Work" feature to the Pokayoke receiver TW-870R series (single output type "TW-870R," four output type "TW-870R-EXP," LAN connection type "TW-870R-EXL"). The "Communication Log Storage for Tool-Used Work" feature allows for the logging of work performed with Pokayoke-compatible tools (tools equipped with Pokayoke transmitters) each time work is done, storing logs of the work performed (transmitter serial number, work achievements, etc.) and logs of the wireless communication between the Pokayoke transmitter and the TW-870R series (communication date and time, channel, number of transmissions, etc.) as communication logs within the TW-870R series. The communication logs stored in the TW-870R series can be output in CSV format via the Windows application "Pokayoke Tools Settings," allowing for analysis of the wireless communication status in the production process and management of work history using Pokayoke-compatible tools.
