Iida Industry Co., Ltd.

Iida Industries Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells soundproofing, damping, and sealing materials for automobiles, buildings, and railroads, introduced Fujitsu's COLMINA MES in 2018 to promote DX. By starting with the systemization of some operations and implementing a step-up implementation using an agile method, the number of man-hours required for inventory management was significantly reduced.
In the future, the production planning business will be systematized to visualize the shipment plan.

Do you have the following problems at your manufacturing site?

  • Image of data not being interconnected

    No utilization of a large amount of data owned by your manufacturing site and headquarters.

  • Timely replenishment of parts and inventory image

    No inventory reduction of a large number of parts and materials or no timely manner restocking.

  • Image of flexibly adapting to small-scale and large-scale production

    No flexible response to various production scales, such as the production of mixed products in mixed quantities, production in small quantities, and production of top-selling products in large quantities.

  • Image of being able to perform quality checks easily

    No quality control due to unorganized product history information.

Support manufacturing by grasping the on-the-ground situations at manufacturing sites through real-time data collection and management

Fujitsu MES Solutions is a manufacturing site management system that closely links information about production activities.
This system achieves cyclical connections by connecting the different manufacturing networks of factories, headquarters, markets, and clients that were previously loosely integrated, centrally managing the pieces of information acquired through this connection, and utilizing that information in other connections.

With consultation expertise, Fujitsu solves your problems

Fujitsu consultants will ask about the key issues (materiality) you are facing, analyze the situation surrounding the issues, and offer the best solutions. Companies that resolved their issues are already working on new initiatives. Here are some of the cases where we successfully streamlined their operations.

Issue tracking costs

50% reduction

Reduced costs required to track issues when they occur by 50%.

Difference between inventory data and actual stocks

Less than 1%

Reduced the difference between inventory data and actual on-hand stocks to less than 1% and improved the lead time of the manufacturing process.

Indirect manufacturing operations

30% reduction

Digitized information on planned and actual results and streamlined the preparation of documents for improvement, resulting in a 30% reduction in indirect manufacturing operations.

Fujitsu MES Solutions changes the future of the manufacturing industry

Expedite top-level decision-making and reveal real issues
Real-time visualization of current situations
Our visualization function integrates and links the factory's site data and the company's other system data and centrally manages the company information in three separate layers (management layer, manager layer, and field layer). Visualizing layers helps make quick top-level decisions and focus on the real issues.
Optimal inventory management image
Improve cash flow and throughput
Optimum inventory management
Our management system automatically creates replenishment instructions for the optimal operation at the optimal time and creates replenishment instructions for an intermediate store using an inventory withdrawal trigger by executing "Launch Process" or "Finish Process" to achieve optimum inventory management. The result is improved cash flow and throughput.

Ensure a quick-response manufacturing system
Flexible adaptation to changes in market trends
To respond to ever-changing trends and rapidly changing market needs, we flexibly handle various production scales, including production of mixed products in mixed quantities, production in small quantities, and production of top-selling products in large quantities.
Customer trust improvement image
Enhance customer reliability and prevent opportunity loss
Traceability
Collecting quality information on the manufacturing process supports the analysis improvement cycle, helping deliver high-quality products to the market. This allows faster identification of defective or low-quality products.
