Electronic oriental lamp

i-Cube System Usage details

We installed a projector in the factory and displayed the main screen of iii-System to show the status of the molding machines at a glance. On the main display of iii-System, the latest operation status, the number of productions and molding conditions are displayed so that workers on the site are able to grasp the conditions of the machines in the factory at a glance.

i-Cube System Benefits

1.Realization of visible management
We could grasp the current status of the molding field that had been covered so far, which led us to the reform of consciousness on the work place. This helped us to shorten the time from the completion of the production to the preparation of the next production as well as fault release (reduction of the burial loss).
2.Improvement of productivity
We could detect the change of false molding conditions at an early stage and became able to minimize the number of defective products (reduction of the burial loss).

Traceability

i-Cube System Usage details

When you click the right mouse button on any temporal axes of the generalization graph of iii-System to call up the trend/correlation graph, a trend/correlation graph from between the time when the number of shots is least frequent to the time when the number of shots is most frequent around that time is shown. With this function, you can output the trend/correlation graph of molded products of the entire lots by clearing the quality control counter of the molding machine at the beginning of the lot. If this trend/correlation graph is stable, it assures the quality of the molded products (quality report).

i-Cube System Benefits

1.Realization of reduction of the workforce
By checking the quality report, only random inspection was regarded as the primary test. This led us to the reduction of time and cost needed for the inspection.
2.Improvement of the trust from the customers
We installed a large LCD monitor at the molding field and always monitored the trend/correlation graph. This led us to our appeal of our molding quality management system to our customers.

Daily report computerization -Expansion option-

i-Cube System Usage details

You can input the inspection results and the final number of productions from the terminals such as PDA at the molding field. Additionally, you can collect information (e.g., the operation rate and the production status) from iii-System to make daily reports on the site. The daily report system is compatible up to the third shift according to the type of production of the customers. Due to the computerization of the daily production report, you also can easily call up the previous daily production reports by selecting the date that you want to refer to from the calendar displayed on the computer screen.

i-Cube System Benefits

1.Reduction of the number of aggregation items
The time and efforts, which were needed for the aggregation of the number of productions after the inspection process or the operation status of the molding machines, were largely reduced.
In addition, the previous daily/monthly production reports became easy to track back.
2.Improvement of the trust from the customers
We installed a projector at the molding field and explained the management contents of iii-System to our customers. This helped us appeal the management of the molding field to our customers.
