Grasping these trends aids in planning measures to control defects and contributes to investigating the causes of defects through comparisons with other production line data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-solid_bottomborder_black has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">\uff12\uff0eStabilization of Delivery Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/falcon.afc-lab.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/f0aa20071863f1642efc59fef4366c07.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-459\" style=\"width:617px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-background_fill_lightgray\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">(1) Reduction of Production Lead Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">By integrating the determination process, which was previously conducted offline in a separate room after production completion, directly into the production line, it is possible to eliminate one step in the process, thereby contributing to a reduction in production lead time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-background_fill_lightgray\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">(2) Stabilization of Production Lead Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Even when replacing offline visual inspections with image processing systems, the variability in determination speed that occurred with human operators is eliminated, stabilizing lead times and making it easier to plan the production process up to shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-solid_bottomborder_black has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">\uff13\uff0eCost Reduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/falcon.afc-lab.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/b5fa2cf66ef8cf4dff835708282c2bdf.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-461\" style=\"width:612px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-background_fill_lightgray\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">(1) Early Detection of Defects Leading to Loss Cost Reduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">By using an image processing system for determination within the process, defects can be detected early, reducing the time to initial response. Additionally, if the defects occur continuously due to equipment issues or material problems, this can lead to a reduction in loss costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-background_fill_lightgray\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">(2) Reduction of Inspector Recruitment, Training Costs, and Labor Expenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Visual determination involves not only visible costs such as inspector wages, but also less visible costs like securing and training inspectors. By using image processing technology, the skills required for visual inspection by inspectors are no longer needed. Furthermore, automating transport and sorting can facilitate manpower cost reduction through unmanned operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vk-heading-solid_bottomborder_black has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">4. Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The utilization of image processing technology and the implementation of automation contribute not only to the improvement of quality and the stabilization of delivery times but also to cost reduction, thereby enhancing market competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In particular, while the improvement in quality may be challenging to quantify in terms of cost-effectiveness, it significantly enhances trust from customers in the medium to long term, contributes to the establishment of long-term business relationships, and consequently contributes to business expansion through increased opportunities for orders and improved market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-related-posts\">\n<h6
