It has also been pointed out that the coronavirus pandemic may present opportunities. That is to say, it may encourage a shift to production systems that are less dependent on the labor force, and the demand for smart factories that utilize IIoT networks and artificial intelligence (AI) will increase more than ever.
With the aim of realizing a decarbonized society, companies in all industries are expected to take environmental measures. Against this backdrop, measures to reduce CO2 emissions in production processes have become a pressing issue across the entire manufacturing industry.
5G provides notable advantages for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks that require advanced information processing using numerous and diverse devices such as sensors and robots, and thus rapid evolution is expected with the spread of 5G.
Bringing humans and machines even closer with sensors and AI
Wearable sensors and image recognition technology now make it possible to see exactly how experts work. In this section, we introduce some examples of how expert skills can be passed on to the next generation, and how work can be automated.
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.
Smart Factory Case Study
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.
Smart Factory Case Study
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.
Smart Factory Case Study
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.
Smart Factory Case Study
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.
