Challenges/Issues
Using “Kanban” system for production process
management.
“Kanbans” with QR code and/or bar-code were re-used, but there were issues with
mis-placed “Kanbans” and increased sorting processes.
Why SKE product was chosen.
The Electronic Paper Tag can be rewritten many times, and it also allows data to be written when
the tags are stacked, which is very convenient.
No needs to put “Kanban” on and off, and we
thought the Tag could eliminate misplaced “Kanbans.”
After its
implementation
How the issue was solved and its procedures.
Outcomes
By switching from “Kanban,” which was paper based, to the Electronic Paper
Tag, we could eliminate paper.
We were freed from sorting “Kanbans” and misplacing them, and
we have gained more than what we paid for the Electronic Paper Tag.
Voice of Customer
After implementing the Electronic Paper Tag, we realized again what a waste the “Kanbans”
were.
We believed that the way we were operating was the natural and obvious way, but we were
surprised to learn that there was a much better way.

Implementation
Challenges/Issues
- The paper based work instruction has been made paperless.
- Real-time production progress management for each production process
Why SKE product was chosen.
The Electronic Paper Tags on the products enabled realtime location, production processes, management as the readers/writers installed at the gates between operations read the tag information.
After its
implementation
How the issue was solved and its procedures.
Outcomes
- The paper based work instruction has been made paperless completely.
- The Electronic Paper Tags on the goods in process enabled realtime location, production processes, management as the readers/writers installed at the gates between operations read the tag information.
- Simplify the management of defective products and prevent them from reaching the market
Voice of Customer
Improved overall work efficiency by eliminating paper based work instructions that were replaced by the Electronic Paper Tag, and it enabled process and product location management.
SKE Sales person
The Electronic Paper Tag makes it possible to go paperless and manage
process/location/traceability.
We were able to provide the best solution for the customer.
SKE Sales person
The large number of “Kanbans” has been made paperless, and it is also possible to reduce some operations by implementing the Electronic Paper Tag.
We can provide solutions for DX and automations like this case.
