Wire Processing System

Sales of high-performance remote monitoring system for automatic wire processors

Contributing to improving equipment operating rates by investigating and supporting countermeasures for stoppage factors such as processing defects

February 12, 2021

ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. (Head Office: Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture, President and CEO: Tatsuyuki Isogawa) is conducting investigations and countermeasures for stoppage factors such as processing defects for customers using our automatic wire processors We commercialized a highly functional version of the remote monitoring system (hereinafter referred to as this system) to support the project, and began selling it in November 2020.

Prior to this system, our company commercialized a simplified remote monitoring system in 2019. The simplified version utilizes status outputs from automatic wire processors, such as signal indicator lights, to aggregate information on a single PC for each factory or line. By storing information in the data center, users can remotely check the operating status of equipment in real time via a web server. This has enabled us to provide a variety of on-site support, including early recognition of equipment abnormalities, real-time performance confirmation of each equipment, and creation of daily, weekly, and monthly reports based on stored information.
However, when a machining defect occurs, tracing the cause often depends on the experience of the operator, resulting in problems such as "it takes time to identify the cause'' and "the cause cannot be identified.''

The highly functional version of this system aims to overcome the problems of the simple version, and uses a dedicated analysis tool to investigate the causes of stoppages, such as machining defects, that occur during operation, based on more detailed operational status record data. We have even automated the presentation of results. By identifying the cause of machining defects at an early stage, it contributes to improving equipment operating rates.

In order to contribute to improving the productivity of our customers, our company will continue to pursue productivity through the development of new technologies and improved quality, and will continue to enhance after-sales services.
