Main points of the award

1. Realization of "Leveling DX" that does not depend on skilled work

LevelMan, a digital precision leveler developed by Any Design, and its proprietary software have streamlined the leveling process, which used to be performed by multiple skilled workers, by sharing measured values in real time.

The company was highly evaluated for its ability to eliminate the need for human resources and improve the speed of decision making.

2. 8 years of continuous technological development through industry-academia collaboration

In collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute (TMITRI) since 2016, we have developed the world's first* fully automatic leveling system,

The world's first* fully automatic level calibration device "CalibMan" and Japan's first* fully automatic leveling and adjustment device "AdjustMan" were developed and commercialized.

Japan's first* fully-automated leveling and adjustment device, AdjustMan.

The company was recognized for its continuous development system and track record of developing research results into practical technologies. (* In-house research) 3.

3. contribution to manpower shortage and technical succession issues

In response to chronic labor shortages and technical succession issues in the manufacturing industry, the company was recognized for creating social value by creating an environment in which anyone can work with a certain degree of accuracy.

Background of the Award

Leveling" is indispensable in the installation of equipment and precision adjustment processes at manufacturing sites,

However, it is also faced with the following problems: heavy workload, dependence on skilled workers, inconsistency in quality, and lack of work records.

However, it is also subject to such problems as heavy workload, dependence on skilled workers, variation in quality, and lack of work records.

Any Design has built a system that enables visualization, sharing, and storage of measurement results as numerical data, and has worked to realize a highly reproducible work environment.

The award was given to Any Design because its technological development from the viewpoint of the shop floor has contributed to both quality and productivity improvements.

Future Prospects

Any Design will continue to position precision measurement as a "fundamental technology" for manufacturing, while strengthening cooperation with research institutions,

Any Design will continue to promote automation, manpower saving, and advanced utilization of quality data at manufacturing sites, while strengthening cooperation with research institutions.

Any Design will continue to contribute to the improvement of Japan's manufacturing competitiveness by promoting automation, labor saving, and advanced utilization of quality data at manufacturing sites, while strengthening cooperation with research institutions.
