Futaba

A comprehensive solution for an auto parts manufacturer

Futaba Czech is a subsidiary of the Japanese company Futaba Industrial. This engineering firm turns steel and other materials into products sold primarily to the automotive industry. Its main commodities are car-body parts, exhausts, instrument-panel supports and functional components.

In 2005, Aimtec deployed the WMS within DCIx at Futaba’s shipping department. In 2010 this system was expanded to receipt of materials, production release and the scrap register. In 2014 the MES data collection system within DCIx was deployed here as well. First at two welding lines, and later at ten moulding lines. An Asprova system for advanced production planning and scheduling was deployed as well.

  • A detailed overview of the levels of material stocks and works in progress.
  • Guaranteed traceability.
  • A 50% reduction in overhead work.
  • A reduction in the planner count – from 4 to 2.
  • Stabilization of production and quality.
