IoT is the key to breaking free from the dependence of maintenance work on intuition and unique skills. In Part 2, we will hear in detail from Kenichi Furutani, a consultant at Japan Excel-Management Consulting (JEMCO), about the specific methods and keys to implementing IoT for maintenance work.
Standardization of maintenance work is one of the most important factors in improving the competitiveness and productivity of factories. We asked Kenichi Furutani, a consultant at Japan Excel-Management Consulting (JEMCO), about how to break free from dependence on intuition and unique skills for IoT-based maintenance work.
In Part 1, we presented the issues the manufacturing site is engaged in. In Part 2, we will present the Kanazawa Murata factory’s efforts to transition factories into smart factories using IT tools as well as our future developments.
The manufacturing industry has been engaged in such issues as productivity improvement and quality management. In Part 1, we will present what kind of issues the Kanazawa Murata factory, which has created products using advanced technologies, is aiming to tackle and how the factory seeks to face them.
In this second part, we asked about Murata's efforts to provide easy-to-use modules for customers developing IoT devices.
In recent years, IoT has made it possible to collect detailed data from various locations in the real world, but there have been challenges in collecting data over long distances of several kilometers. Murata has developed a cellular LPWA module that enables long-distance wireless communication with ultra-small size and low power consumption, and also enables reliable data collection without the need for specialized expertise in wireless communication. We interviewed the people in charge about the envisioned usage scenarios and the efforts being made in the development process.
In Part 1, we learned all about the IoT integration that took place at Fukui Murata Manufacturing, as well as the predictive maintenance system and achievements that the integration made possible. In Part 2, we look into how they proceeded with IoT integration at their manufacturing site.
Since the popularization of the word “IoT,” many have recognized the necessity of its implementation in various industrial fields. This interview is a discussion presenting the points to advancing the integration of IoT technology in manufacturing sites in addition to the results and background of the implementation of IoT technology at Fukui Murata Manufacturing Co.
Let’s have a look at the emerging visions for our smart cities and the required technologies which will greatly effect the future of the smart cities we will live in.
5G: Technology
5G will enable completely new functions for in-car and out-car applications, in the short-term it will revolutionise in-car infotainment and enhanced multimedia. In the near future we can expect 5G to contribute to V2X communication optimising driving experience and enabling the future of autonomous vehicles.
