Improve operation rateImprove abilityHaven’t you often heard of “AI=Artificial Intelligence” lately?
AI is no longer a term in SF movies only and is coming closer to our real world. AI played chess or go with a human and beat him.
AI is applied in self-driving technology of automobiles. Probably, you have already heard such news.
Why did Pro-face that is an HMI manufacturer pick up this term as a keyword for Industry tech trend?
It’s because we think this AI technology will become important even in a FA industry we engage in. -
Improve operation rateImprove abilityReduce costRecently, “IoT” had been widely known. There’s not a single day when the term, “IoT” is not seen on a news.
Preceded by that term only, customers have trouble imagining a specific effect of IoT and also they think its introduction cost is high. That’s why more customers may not be able to take the first step to adopt IoT.
A purpose of adopting IoT is to make a profit in a plant.
But they don’t want spend a large amount of money on it because its effect is not clear. In addition, they don’t want the equipment to be stopped or defects to be produced.
The point is how it is introduced with a lower cost or in an easier way. -
Improve ability"Raw materials got stuck in the hopper and its motor broke down. That stopped the production line for a long time. We thought thorough predictive maintenance was needed."

Improve ability"Our plan for new traceablity system has one major problem, it costs a lot to replace the old equipment.
But Pro-face's small units complete our traceablity system in a low-cost way.
