Cloud ERP "NEWPEAK DI Cloud" for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers Launches Free Trial and Online Consultation Service

NEWPEAK Inc. (Head Office: Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazuaki Ikegami) announces the launch of a "Free Trial" to experience the service firsthand and an "Online Consultation Service" for companies considering its adoption, for its cloud ERP "NEWPEAK DI Cloud" targeted at small and medium-sized manufacturers.

Background of Launch

Many problems that occur on manufacturing floors may seem to arise suddenly, but they actually have precursors. However, because these are not made visible, countermeasures are often postponed, and by the time they are noticed, they can significantly impact profits, quality, and employee retention.

"Tasks that only veteran employees can handle," "Costs that cannot be accurately grasped," "Personnel evaluations that are difficult to gain acceptance for" – while these challenges may seem separate, they share a common root: "difficulty in visualization."

NEWPEAK, originally operating in the manufacturing industry, faced these challenges and, through trial and error, developed "Three Visualizations." To alleviate pre-adoption anxieties and help companies find the best approach for their specific needs, we have newly established these entry points for experience and consultation.

About "Three Visualizations"

AI-Powered Work Manual Creation Based on work videos, AI organizes work flows and procedures to assist in creating work instruction manuals. By recording and organizing the movements and know-how of veteran workers, it reduces variations in training content and can be utilized for skill succession and new employee training.

Cost Visualization

Organizes material costs, processing costs, defect rates, etc., to visualize products that are profitable and those that require review. By understanding the cost structure based on actual results, it clarifies priorities for improvement.

Personnel Evaluation Visualization

Organizes evaluation criteria to support the creation of personnel evaluation systems that are easily accepted by employees.

From these on-site improvements, it is possible to incrementally expand to ERP functions such as purchasing management, production management, inventory management, sales management, and real-time management via PDA as needed.

Industries and How They Benefit

NEWPEAK DI Cloud can be utilized by small and medium-sized manufacturers, particularly those facing challenges with the "person-dependent nature" of on-site operations, cost tracking, and human resource development. Representative industries and usage examples are as follows:

Precision Parts Machining

In a site where only experienced personnel could pinpoint the cause of defects, work flows and key points are organized. This leads to a shared understanding of problem areas, accelerating on-site improvements.

Metal Fabrication and Tank Manufacturing

By visualizing processes that relied on veteran employees, training content becomes standardized, reducing the burden of new employee education and minimizing differences based on who is teaching.

Press Working

Numerical data is captured not only for material costs but also for work time and manual labor time. In an actual adoption case, improvements were made to high-difficulty press work that had been consistently unprofitable, resulting in a reduction of press work time from 0.8 seconds to 0.5 seconds and post-process manual work from 3.73 seconds to 3 seconds.

Companies with Assembly and Manufacturing Sites

By meticulously visualizing costs that were previously understood intuitively, areas that erode profits and sources of waste are identified. This enables the development of countermeasures for projects that tend to be unprofitable.

In all industries, we support creating opportunities for the site to take initiative, starting with addressing the difficulty of visualizing "operations," "costs," and "evaluations."
