[Digital Manufacturing] From 50 minutes to 35 seconds from the warehouse!? Siemens Plant Simulation for the realization of a digital twin

We exhibited simulation software for realizing digital twins in factories and warehouses. Enter the physical information of the site into the simulation model and reproduce the site environment digitally. This makes it possible to simulate various situations such as verifying the optimal warehouse layout, introducing new equipment, establishing new factory lines, and changing processes, and create optimal plans in advance.
On the day of the event, assuming a certain warehouse, there was a demonstration demonstrating that the average time it takes to pick up a product from a shelf in the warehouse can be shortened from the maximum of 50 minutes to about 35 seconds by automatically calculating the optimum layout using Siemens Plant Simulation. We have prepared.
Customers at the venue commented with surprise, "This is a placement that no human could have imagined," at the high-precision placement that humans cannot imagine.

[Security] What happens if a factory receives a cyber attack? Re-learning the Importance of Factory Security

We exhibited a reproduction of a cyberattack on a factory and its detection method. We reproduced a series of situations in which an attacker illegally manipulated a belt conveyor or extrusion mechanism, and introduced how the Forescout solution can detect fraud by mirroring and analyzing communications.
With the trend of smart factories and DX, there are more and more opportunities to connect to external networks in factories, but I hope you have gained a better understanding of the need for security measures.

[Agritech] Realize production efficiency with crop yield prediction! Latest plant growth solutions

Here is an exhibition booth that introduces solutions that can be used for predicting crop harvest times and shipment volumes, as well as labor management, by acquiring and aggregating multiple pieces of information using cameras and various sensors. The bluish-white glowing part in the photo slowly moves back and forth to capture the state of the crops being grown, and AI is used to predict the harvest time and shipment volume to achieve efficient production. We received a surprised voice from the customer saying, "Can you understand that much?"

[Robot] Temi, a robot that can make video calls and can run independently, will guide you through the experience venue!

Temi, a cute robot, will guide you around the venue. Recently, there have been an increasing number of opportunities to see excellent robots that perform reception and guidance tasks at various facilities. The advantage of Temi compared to other robots is that it can be used in a wide range of applications because the sensors can be customized to suit the customer's needs. This richness of customization is only possible because Macnica handles a large number of sensors.

In addition, the automatic cleaning robot Neo had a strong presence in the same booth. Neo is an excellent two-in-one unit that cleans floors and collects coarse garbage. It has already been installed in many facilities such as airports and shopping centers, so you may see it somewhere in the city.

In addition to the above, we have prepared many exhibits that can be experienced only because they are real, such as sports / health care, mobility, and a driving simulator that reflects electroencephalogram measurement.

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see us in the heat.

We introduced only a few of the events in this report, but even those who were unable to attend the event were able to get a sense of what the event was like. Macnica will continue to provide better solutions in order to realize our Our Group's Purpose of ``Being at the forefront of change, exploring cutting-edge techniques and knowledge, and envisioning the future and creating the present.'' I'll come.
