Making Our Company Plant a Smart Factory through DX

Human centeric
data-driven manufacturing

The environment surrounding the manufacturing industry is constantly changing, with labor shortages, skill inheritance, changing customer needs, and rising production costs (Electricity costs, raw materials, etc.).
In response to these changes in the environment, the digitalization of factories has recently attracted much attention.

Fujitsu Frontech aims to respond to these challenges by using all digital data to visualize the current state of the factory.
We are building a production management system that is resilient to change through our human-centric manufacturing DX.

Challenges facing our company plant

  • Shortage of manpower & skill succession

  • Fluctuations in production plans

  • Mass consumption of paper

At the Fujitsu Frontech Niigata Plant, we faced challenges such as skill succession, fluctuations in production plans, high-mix/multi-volume production, and mass consumption of paper.
In order to maintain quality and productivity even in such a production environment, it is necessary to optimize labor and production process design constantly.
However, there was a limit on how much we could grasp and manage the constantly changing field using only human-power. ​

Therefore, we started to collect and analyze data on the site conditions, including human work, and visualizing the site in real time, and it enabled us to respond quickly and improve quality and productivity.

As a result of this upgrade to the DX plant,
we, all stakeholders including executives, field managers and workers, are able to realize benefits.​

Now that we can see the whole situation in the plant, we can identify the problems.
As well as profit and loss improvements, employee engagement has increased by. ​

Executive

In addition to the line by line delay, the cause of the delay can be identified immediately, so we can dealt with it quickly.
Less administrative work and more focus on value-added work, such as improvements. ​​

There is no need to use a pen during work to record, so the work is smooth.
It is convenient that I can check the work procedure in videos and images for the first procedure in a while.
