Are you having trouble starting a new business?
Macnica Manufacturing Consulting Service (Monocon®) is based on the concept of "turning ideas into reality." We can help customers who have no experience in electrical design with the introduction of electronics such as IoT/AI. We will accompany you from technical verification of your idea to creating a prototype and providing mass-produced products.
Please feel free to contact us with any ideas, not just design and manufacturing! We will respond to the needs of customers in all industries to solve problems and increase value with our technology-based "manufacturing support."
Specification of ideas and the challenge of realizing them
We will verify the feasibility and effectiveness and help you turn your ideas into reality.
We will make suggestions based on our rich manufacturing experience. Even if you have no experience in electronics or development, we are happy to help you.

Realizing the one and only "I wish it existed"
"I have an idea I want to try, but I don't know how to go about it." For customers like you, Monocon® will provide consistent support from turning ideas into specifications to mass production. By making full use of the wealth of information and know-how not found in catalogs, we will accompany our customers' projects while preventing failures before they happen.
Even in industries that have not had much to do with digitalization until now, product development that makes full use of IoT and AI is spreading rapidly. We propose digital and communication technologies for all industries, not just manufacturing, but also construction, agriculture, healthcare, and more.
Quickly create prototypes with minimal functions and realistic reactions
We can quickly create a prototype with minimal functionality and show you something that works right away.
We quickly create prototypes that will allow us to see immediate reactions from stakeholders. We develop PoCs in line with our clients' new business plans.

Mockups made with a 3D printer
Handmade sensors and 3D printer mockups give an idea of the finished product
Monocon® can quickly develop prototypes for demonstration experiments. If the customer has already created a prototype and there is an area they would like to improve, we can identify the bottleneck device and propose a different product.
We are not just a trading company that "purchases and sells." We have a track record of providing semiconductors and key technologies to various industries and supporting them to a practical level. In the proof-of-concept stage, there are many cases where a simple evaluation is required without spending a lot of money, but even in such cases, the Company engineers will hand-make a test device and verify its operation. Even if it looks uncool, it is enough to confirm its operation, and this is the first step towards commercialization.
However, the appearance of the product is also important. Even if it is a prototype, if there is an actual product close to the finished product, you can get a realistic reaction from the surroundings, so we use a 3D printer to quickly create a mockup. Combined with a board for demonstration experiments, you can imagine the operation and appearance at an early stage, which is a strong support for getting the consent of the related parties.

Monocon® provides flexible support tailored to our customers' needs, helping them to rapidly develop products and achieve business success.
Accelerate your visualization experience with the app
The ideas can be visualized using PC or smartphone apps, accelerating the experience of the ideas.
The operating status of sensors installed in remote locations can be checked at any time via the cloud.

Check data from remote locations via the cloud
We provide an app that provides real-time information
Visualization on smartphone
Providing hardware and apps as a set to accelerate stakeholder experiences
the Company manufacturing support does not end with the creation of hardware. We can also instantly develop prototypes for PC and smartphone applications, and even work on visualization.
Why don't we take the prototype we made and evaluate it together at the actual site where it will be used? By installing it on-site, we are sure to discover new issues, which will also give us new inspiration. We will work together with our customers to accelerate demonstration experiments.
For example, by using Google Cloud, you can display information from remote locations. By installing sensors in places that would be difficult for humans to reach, such as snow on a road that is usually not very busy, or the flooding of a river deep in the mountains, it becomes possible to obtain data from remote locations.
As an example, we created an app that visualizes data obtained by sensors. You can view the data acquired via WiFi on your PC. You can check how many items are on the shelf, and you can also measure and manage the remaining amount of liquids, such as beer servers. For more information, please see this article.

In addition, smartphones andWe can also provide a set of applications that run on tablets.
We are adept at using various sensors to detect changes and conditions in all kinds of things. And by visualizing the data acquired by the sensors in combination with wireless technologies such as LTE and Bluetooth, as well as Wi-Fi, we believe we can accelerate the customer experience.
