Development technology
A once in a century revolution that creates opportunities in tough times, bold challenges, proposing new ideas
Super Deep Draw
The New Value of Deep Drawing Tech
Since the beginning, Higuchi Manufacturing Co. has made it a point to pursue “Deep Drawing Technology”. Although this shape may not seem special, it involves an essential technology in achieving a deep drawing.
New Material Processing Method Development
We can handle all kinds of materials
(Aluminum/Bronze/Titanium/Magnesium/Carbon Fiber)
We are able to handle new materials that replaces iron; we indefatigably develop processing methods for materials from high-tensile steel plates, non-iron metals, and carbon fiber.
IoT implemented Factories
Real-Time monitoring of manufacturing
An ever improving Information Database
We’ve implemented sensing technology and created a database for our dies. Our manufacturing line sends out warning signals to suspend the process before any defects occur.
Manufacturing is monitored in real-time which enables us to respond quickly in any situation, and allows us to conduct die maintenance at a precise time. This grants us the opportunity to provide high quality products at a low cost.
Mass production technology
from Planning, Die Manufacturing, to Mass Production
Everything is handled in-house
At Higuchi Manufacturing, we're able to answer our clients’ needs to create stamped parts with various shapes.
Everything is handled in-house from planning to manufacturing (which includes stamping, washing, cutting, welding, insert molding, and painting).
In addition, one of the advantages of in-house manufacturing is the ability to provide feedback to the designer from the manufacturing line. This not only allows us to sustain high quality products, but contributes to lowering the total cost.
Product distribution based on material quality/thickness
Process Design, Die Design
Products that are sure to satisfy customers
We conduct VA/VE with our customers through exchanging ideas and listening to their requests from the development planning stages, product optimization, performance evaluation, and reducing costs.
In the process planning and die designing stage, we take advantage of CAD and CAE to reduce costs and production time to expedite product delivery.
Die Making, Assembling, Trial
Objective: Quick Production, High Quality, High Precision
To achieve quick product launch, we identify possible problems and plan improvement tasks for mass production during the development/trial stages.
Process from proposal to product delivery
Production Engineering
Adoption of IT at the manufacturing site
Producing Labor-Saving Equipment for a better work environment
What can be done to improve the manufacturing site?
We are able to prevent adverse effects on post-processing by implementing electronic control in our equipment. This is made possible by our in-house mechanical, electrical, software and equipment development.
Manufacturing Digitized
our unique production control system and digitized bookkeeping
With Higuchi's unique production control system, we can manage:
Order Info⇛ Production Plans⇛ Ordered Materials⇛ Production Instruction⇛ Inventory Management⇛ Shipment Info
All in a coherent fashion.
Everything is managed under a system that allows us to manage: which materials, are located where, with how many kilograms, used on what machine, by whom, when, and how many products are exactly produced.
With our unique material search engine, we've managed to considerably cut down on time used to look up the location of used materials.
We've also managed to save time through the digitization of bookkeeping and lot tracing, which cut down time on inventory management, material delivery lead time and general planning.
