The biggest benefit of the upgrade is that the frequency of errors and the time required for maintenance have been significantly reduced. As a result, work efficiency has improved, and even during the busy winter season, there is almost no overtime work required, making for efficient filling operations.
The average daily filling volume is 65 tons per year, and reaches 75 tons at peak times (January average), so it is extremely important to find ways to increase productivity efficiently.
In addition, in preparation for annual regular maintenance, we ask them to keep daily records of which machines have experienced which types of errors, which allows us to focus inspections on the machines that require it. Thanks to this advance information, we can hold meetings in advance with our and Kubota's service personnel, which allows us to get to work smoothly on site.
Furthermore, the equipment specifications were changed in this upgrade, eliminating the need for parts that had to be frequently replaced on the old model. As a result, the cost of replacing parts has been significantly reduced, which has also led to a reduction in the burden of maintenance.
