New Service to Solve Information Fragmentation in Manufacturing 'Affordably and Gradually': 'SHALUCK' Series Officially Launches in April 2026

On April 1, 2026, Benefacis Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mitsuo Kitamura) will begin offering the "SHALUCK" series, which integrates and manages design information (3D CAD, design plans, etc.), project information, sales information, and production information. This service aims to visualize overall company management, as well as the entire process from sales to manufacturing, share know-how, and improve productivity.

This service is based on the "3D Project Management Cloud," which was adopted in Chiba Prefecture's Advanced Digital Technology Utilization Demonstration Project (FY2025). It underwent demonstration testing with the cooperation of four manufacturing companies in Chiba Prefecture and received evaluations such as "useful for on-site operations" and "contributes to reducing operational burden."

Development Background: The Deep-Rooted Structural Issue of "Information Silos" in Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Businesses

In many manufacturing industries, information is fragmented by department, and the following situations are common:

Project/Sales Information: Excel, PDF, sales management systems, sales support systems

Design Information: 3D CAD, 2D CAD, paper drawings, process plans (Excel)

Production Information/Product Structure: Paper production orders + paper drawings

Process/Progress Management: Whiteboards, paper process charts

Outsourcing Management: Email, FAX

This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies such as reliance on individuals, duplicate work, and inability to reuse past data, posing a significant barrier to productivity improvement.

Benefacis developed "SHALUCK" as a platform to integrate project, product structure, and process information, solving these issues through an approach called "conceptual data modeling (data-centric business design)."

Series Name Renewed to "SHALUCK"

Achieving Phased Implementation with 4 Templates + RPA

With the official release, the name has been renewed from the conventional "3D Project Management Cloud" to be offered as the "SHALUCK" series.

The SHALUCK series consists of four templates corresponding to the main business areas of the manufacturing industry.

【SHALUCK Series Configuration】

SHALUCK - Project Management

Integrates project information, specifications, 3D CAD data, and configuration information to centrally manage operations on a project-by-project basis.

SHALUCK - Property Management

Allows import of drawing data per delivery location. Builds an information infrastructure to pass on veteran know-how to younger generations.

SHALUCK - Process Management

Visualizes process plans and progress in real-time, improving delivery adherence rates.

SHALUCK - Business Management (Dashboard)

Visualizes management indicators and project progress, promoting company-wide information sharing.

Furthermore, an RPA option is also provided to enable linkage with existing sales management, design management, and production management systems.

Evaluated as "Useful" in Demonstrations by 4 Companies in Chiba Prefecture

In the FY2025 Chiba Prefecture demonstration project, operational verification was conducted with the cooperation of four companies primarily engaged in high-mix, low-volume production (so-called one-off, custom-made production).

Key Evaluation Points

・ Easy reuse of past projects, improving the speed of design work.

・ 3D CAD data and project information are integrated, significantly reducing search man-hours.

・ Product structure (BOM) management is unified, enabling know-how sharing.

・ "Visualization" of processes and progress reduces communication burden with the field.

・ Can be introduced in a short period and at low cost, with little burden on the field.

Voice of a Demonstration Company (Chiba Prefecture: High-mix, low-volume production company A / Wheelchair manufacturer)

"We evaluate it as a flexible system specialized for high-mix, low-volume production (custom-made) that cannot be handled by existing large-scale systems. It fits our operations, which involve single-item processing, prototyping, and frequent specification changes, and the ability to introduce it at low cost and in a short period is also attractive. We expect it to resolve bottlenecks on-site and lead to the visualization of information."

Based on the demonstration results, the SHALUCK series has developed a template configuration that is easy for small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses to introduce, and a pricing system suitable for phased implementation.
