The machinery division of DENSO, an auto parts manufacturer, which designs and manufactures in-house production lines, has introduced Caddy’s data utilization cloud service ” CADDi Drawer ” and quotation cloud service “CADDi Quote” to streamline equipment manufacturing operations. Caddy announced this. The machinery division manufactures about 1,500 production equipment units per year, and introduced Caddy’s services as part of its efforts to solve issues such as skill transfer and to transform into next-generation equipment manufacturing.
As a result, the division has achieved a halving of the time required for quotation work and a reduction in setup labor hours by grouping parts, and has also accelerated activities to reduce costs through big data analysis . In terms of skill transfer, work that only veteran employees could do can now be performed by young employees with only a few years of service, and there are cases where this has led to the improvement of a new work environment that is not bound by past customs. It is also being used in North America, where there is a high level of labor mobility. For example, the AI drawing search function is said to be improving the efficiency of young engineers’ work.
