              Konno Seisakusho (Adachi-ku, Tokyo) will automate the inspection of three types of hydraulic equipment using an automatic inspection machine developed by the company. The company expects to be able to automate most of the inspection work that is currently done manually by one employee at the Fukushima Plant (Shinchi-machi, Fukushima Prefecture), and improve production efficiency by 5-10% compared to the current system at the plant. Konno Seisakusho has been actively promoting the linkage of information management systems and data both internally and externally, and has linked its PSI (production, sales, and inventory) management system with the ordering system for its Taiwan plant. By linking the inspection data to be acquired this time to the same system, it will also contribute to the sharing and efficiency of production schedule management.
