Innovative Production Processes at Azbil's Mother Factory
●Introduction
■Azbil Corporation has integrated the production operations that were formerly distributed between its Isehara Factory (in Isehara, Kanagawa) and Fujisawa Technology Center (in Fujisawa, Kanagawa) into the Shonan Factory (in Samukawa, Kanagawa), which will serve as the azbil Group’s mother factory. With a view to deploying innovative production processes, we are using the Shonan Factory as a place to verify advanced production technologies.
■Currently, we are working on two types of functional enhancements in the Shonan Factory. The first of these is to improve production by acquiring production technology for the creation of new products that takes advantage of recent revolutionary technological trends. We believe that developing products with unrivaled production processes that cannot be easily imitated will lead to product specifications that only Azbil can offer, which will enable us to enhance product value as well as customer satisfaction. Secondly, we are working to promote continuous reduction in manufacturing costs and to improve manufacturing quality, and to do so on a global scale, while maintaining our system for multi-product variable production and customized production that meets the various needs of our customers, which is the strong point of the azbil Group.
■To address the first enhancement goal, we are making more sophisticated production processes by adding AI image-processing technology and also force-control technology for the assembly of fine components to the sensor packaging technology that we have acquired over many years of developing products incorporating various sensors.
■For the second goal, we are working to further integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into a flexible manufacturing system that supports multi-product variable production and customized production. This includes integrated production information control and automatic setting of processing conditions, as well as the development of a super-flexible production line with automated processes in order to break away from dependence on the experience and skills of individual workers and to eliminate human error.
■In this paper, we describe solutions achievable through technological approaches to the above two goals and report on the attained results.
