国際電気株式会社 has begun offering “Spacing Management”, a solution specialized for managing workspaces on manufacturing sites, as a new addition to the GEMBA TOTAL MANAGEMENT series of SaaS-based solutions for smart factories. The solution collects, accumulates, and analyzes on-site data to support on-site managers, the “frontline workers” who work at the forefront of the workplace, through digital transformation.
スマート工場のビジョン
Japan’s manufacturing industry is facing the dual challenges of a labor shortage due to a declining birthrate and aging population, and a lack of skill transfer due to the retirement of experienced workers.In order to support on-site managers in light of these social issues, we are developing solutions that gradually realize on-site decision support and the elimination of waste, inconsistencies, and overburdening by capturing on-site “movements” through data and linking them with production systems through the integrated use of wireless communication, sensing, and AI technologies that we have cultivated over the years, thereby contributing to society by supporting the creation of smart factories through the efficiency and optimization of production processes.

スペマネ開発の背景
Site managers need to be able to accurately grasp the status of people and objects on-site based on their “movements” and make quick decisions. One area that tends to be overlooked is the “movements in the work space” within the factory. Managing the work space is an important issue for smoothly advancing on-site work, but it is heavily dependent on the judgment of a specific person who is the only one to understand these “movements,” and we have received many comments such as the following (based on on-site interviews and industry surveys conducted by our company):
ワークスペースを管理する適切なツールがなく、管理者の個人的な判断に頼っていること。
プロジェクトの進捗状況やスペースの占有率を常にチェックし、調整しなければならないため、非生産的な作業に多くの時間を取られてしまいます。
多くの意思決定は経験と直感に基づいており、ノウハウの蓄積と共有が難しい。
私たちの工場もこのような課題に直面しており、特定のスタッフに依存することなく、安全・安心に生産を継続できる職場づくりの一助となることを目指し、「スペマネ」を開発しました。
