Introduced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as an advanced example of using IoT devices!

IoT (Internet of Things), an era in which things interact with each other without human intervention.
AI (artificial intelligence) is also gradually developing, and it is an era where machines can judge by themselves and become independent.
Not only major companies, but also local small and medium-sized companies are working as advanced examples.
Our company was also listed in the IoT device advanced case of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Chubu.

We are an SME that has been in business for over 70 years.
The factory is located in Shika Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, and was established over 30 years ago.
A local factory that has existed for a long time, that was the reality.

However, among them, optical fiber supports the current Internet age.
MT Ferrule are used as connector parts for connecting optical fibers.
The world's share of ferrules is the second largest (according to our research)

What underpins this strength is the power of the workplace.
However, there were many parts that depended on people to check the progress of the manufacturing process.
The part that depends on people is the part that only people can do
We undertook this project with the idea of leaving the parts that can be done by machines to opportunities.

▼The following is an excerpt from the collection of case studies▼
●Overview of initiatives
In 2018, we utilized the “Manufacturing, Commerce, and Service Productivity Improvement Promotion Subsidy” to
Efforts were made to apply IoT to the injection molding process, and it was adopted for MT Ferrule and MPU connector processes. Superintendent
We have developed a vision camera, material sensor, and our own PLC controller to create an IoT system.
Acquire production data and upload the information to the cloud DB via the gateway,
In addition, there is a system for visualizing the results of automatic aggregation by displaying them on a large monitor on a web basis.
Introduced a group and visualized the data of the manufacturing equipment of 16 processes in real time.

Because small and medium-sized enterprises have few workers, they rely on the power of machines such as IoT,
Increase production efficiency, and as a result, human resources can be allocated to the parts that only people can do.
I was able to feel that in this initiative.
