An Agile, Global Maintenance System

「In light of supply-chain disruptions and other factors, we will progressively convert overseas sites without production functions into “small factories” capable of overhauls and basic equipment assembly, thereby expanding the scope of services available at each site. We will also increase the flow of materials and exchange of personnel between sites and actively use remote technologies to enhance our global support structure, with the aim of responding to customers more quickly.」

「During the fiscal year, we enhanced our service support structure at overseas sites, primarily in Southeast Asia, including by establishing a local subsidiary in the Philippines and opening a branch of our Vietnamese subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City.」

「By developing global personnel, we improved the level of sales, production and service delivery at overseas sites, promoted the “outsourcing of production engineering” to accurately capture users’ needs and wants, and advanced collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers.」

「Under the concept of local production for local consumption, we promoted remote operations centered on overseas sites, seeking to improve productivity and competitiveness by making sales, production and services more efficient and reducing manufacturing costs.」

「To provide state-of-the-art production systems and stable services even amid the recent rise in geopolitical risk, we are establishing a one-team structure in which headquarters and overseas bases act as one and respond swiftly and flexibly to the needs and wants of each region and user. This includes establishing microfactories and service bases close to users to add functions to and modify machinery and equipment.」

「Under the concept of local production for local consumption, we promoted a structure for remote sales meetings, specification discussions, completion inspections and installation support. By transferring order intake, production and service operations to overseas sites, among other measures, we improved production efficiency and promoted the “outsourcing of production engineering” to accurately capture users’ needs and wants, as well as collaboration and co-creation with users and suppliers.」

「As part of these efforts, our Vietnamese subsidiary began sales operations in April 2022. We will continue expanding into other regions, raising production efficiency and working to shorten delivery times through local production for local consumption.」

「By establishing sites around the world, our group communicates Japanese-origin technology to each region, adapts it to local needs, and provides one-stop solutions and global support.」

「We manufacture, sell and provide maintenance services for coil winding machines, winding systems and peripheral equipment, assembly lines, winding and conveying equipment for various films, winding and rewinding equipment for special wire, and assembly lines. This is a core business of our group.」

「Overseas, we are also developing the infrastructure of microfactories, sales and service sites, and training personnel, in part to strengthen communication with customers.」

「Including comprehensive maintenance, support and solutions, our group meets future-oriented needs in major production and development regions around the world, particularly in Asia, Europe and North America, as well as Japan.」

「Our group’s vision is to supply the equipment and systems needed by society to automate the production of the hardware and devices it requires, establish and further develop a global service structure, and propose equipment and systems worldwide for more advanced hardware and devices.」

「As part of our turnkey solutions, we operate a global service network to support customers.」

「We continue to invest resources in initiatives aimed at evolving into an FA integrator that provides a comprehensive offering covering the development, introduction and stable operation of production equipment for a wide variety of devices, production management, traceability, quality control, services and maintenance, parts sales and solutions, while also proposing sustainable innovation.」

「In addition, an agile and global maintenance system will be necessary.」
