Automating the FFC bending process
We noticed that there were many workers, especially in the FFC bending process, occupying a significant amount of the production area. Upon investigation, we discovered that they were using dozens of different complex bending processes, which required a substantial amount of manpower to execute.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction、Labor-saving/automation -
Decorating curved surfaces
Typically, 3D curved surfaces are decorated with paint. However, reducing costs with this method can be challenging due to yield issues. Therefore, we have developed a technique for decorating curved surfaces using silk printing.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction、Quality improvement -
Replacement of die-casting with pressing
We started up a joint project with our customer, and successfully changed the manufacturing method from die-casting to pressing.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction、Quality improvement -
U-shaped bending and bonding
Fitting a sensor into the limited space of a capacitive touch panel involves U-shaped bending and bonding. However, the bending process carries a risk of damage.

Gasket-less-launch of automotive
To reduce costs, we created a mechanism with our customers that prevents water from entering, even without conventional gaskets.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction -
Request for three decorative finishes on one molded part
A customer requested three different decorative finishes on a single molded part: plating, piano black, and glitter.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction、Quality improvement -
Reducing lead times and inventories for items procured overseas
The global pandemic caused a long period of instability in the supply chain due to disruptions in the logistics network and lockdowns. However, by working with our customers to encourage local sourcing, we managed to procure products in about half the usual lead time.VA/VE proposals、Cost reduction、Lead-time reduction
