Introduction video of the case study.
In cases involving critical safety components, the Digital Picking System (DPS) and the Projection Picking System® (PPS®) were selectively utilized based on the specific components, resulting in improved accuracy and efficiency.
By selectively using DPS and PPS® according to the items, work efficiency was improved.
- Background of the implementation
-
-
There are many delays and mistakes in picking.
-
Training for picking operations takes time.
-
- Impact after implementation
-
-
Delays in operations and losses caused by picking errors were reduced, along with a decrease in training time.
-
This leads to measures to prevent assembly errors and missing parts in automotive components, as mistakes are unacceptable for critical parts related to human lives.
-
The Digital Picking System allows anyone to perform picking operations without errors, leading to a significant reduction in delays.
-
PPS®helps reduce picking errors, and by displaying caution information with photos and text, the number of errors in the placement position is significantly reduced.
-
Since there is no need for lists or memorizing picking positions, the training workload was reduced, easing the burden on staff. The training time for workers was reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days, saving approximately 7 days, which equates to about ¥800,000 per year.
-
An effective system was being sought to prevent errors and missing parts in critical functional components related to human lives, as they involve important safety components.
