Solution details

Clarifying operation procedure/time for a diversified workforce to improve quality

Clarify operation procedure/time and share shop floor information with the ANDON, POKA-YOKE, and screw-tightening support systems to prevent defective production due to operational mistakes and reduce downtime. Also detect operational mistakes and monitor all equipment with the KOTSUMON system to enhance productivity.

Information obtained from the shop floor is displayed on the ANDON monitor via GOT2000, allowing site workers, the site manager, and the maintenance personnel at the office to share the information.

Digital Picking prevents human errors and supports assembling/screw-tightening operations to improve quality and productivity.

Key Points 
  • Operation processes can be reviewed and corrected smoothly when a problem occurs.
    • Mistakes such as picking the wrong parts are prevented and downtime is reduced.

    Measuring and constantly monitoring each part of the assembled vehicle body to improve quality

    Use MELSENSOR to constantly monitor everything such as assembly precision, adhesive application, and QR code reading of the assembled vehicle body. Evaluate the products to prevent the outflow of defective ones to maintain good quality.

    Visualization via the GOT enables workers to check the inspection results immediately.

    Digital Picking prevents human errors and supports assembling/screw-tightening operations to improve quality and productivity.

    Key Points

    • Reliable reading of 2-D codes with serious damage or damaged detection patterns, and 1-D codes with reflection, damage, or printing failure is provided.
    • The wide visual field enables batch reading of multiple codes and stable reading of codes on varying positions and heights with one code reader.
