ONCHI SHOKUHIN CO., LTD. 【Kyoto factory】

ONCHI SHOKUHIN uses the Intelligent Assist Balancer, Moon Lifter, for the work of stacking containers containing products on a trolley after packing the log, which is the final process of manufacturing.

ONCHI SHOKUHIN is a famous Kansai company that manufactures all kinds of boiled noodles (steamed noodles) such as udon, Japanese soba, Chinese soba, and yakisoba. The noodles are hard to stretch when boiled, and you can easily understand when you eat them in a pot.

The noodles are ripened firmly to produce chewy and sticky noodles without cutting corners in the manufacturing process.

The motto of the production system at the Kyoto Factory is to create safe and reliable products. The process that can be mechanized is mechanized, but it is important that the most important parts (product check, quality check, etc.) are done manually.

A container full of products was loaded on a trolley by 2 people. 1 person can do it by myself, but when the person was working for a long time, it was a heavy burden on his/her body.

It seems that they were introduced to Moon Lifter by a trading company that was asked to introduce a small robot-like object that assists in container loading.

They were looking for a small and easy-to-use assist device for container loading.

It seems that they were hesitant because it was expensive, although they were asked for a quote for a small balancer from other companies while they were searching for various things. The moon lifter introduced by the trading company was relatively inexpensive, so they requested for a demo immediately, and when they actually put it into operation, it seemed like it would be easy to use on site.

In the end, they decided Moon Lifter because of its amount, size, and ease of use.

With the aging of workers, it was installed to ensure work safety.

It is now easier for them to load containers, which was used to do by 2 people It seems that it is also useful for back pain measures.

We received demonstration requests twice before the installation.

The first time it was a large capacity type, it was slow to operate, so they couldn't have an image that could be used very much. If it is a small 30 kg, it will move quickly, so we told them that and asked for a second demo.

The second time, we lent the actual machine to them for 2 days.

We think that they have carefully checked the usage and usability at the site and realized that this is okay.

At a later date, they told us that it might have been easier to imagine that there was something necessary for actual use, such as a gantry crane, when we lend it.
