Nano Seimitsu Co. is a trading company in Thailand and manufactures and sells precision metal parts and shaft and sells fastener parts.

At this time, let us introduce the high-speed automatic sorter "VIZION" which is sold by our company.
An automatic sorter is a machine that detects whether there is any mix-up of defective products or incorrect parts before shipment. For today's manufacturing companies, the mix-up of defective products is one of the major risks. Even if 1 defective product in 100,000 is mixed into the normal product, it is likely to lead to a callback. The damage to the company related to the callback is not only a temporary deduction but also affects theeir trustworthiness and reputation, and the possibility of new orders afterwards.

The cause of defective product mix-up is "Human error"!

In Thailand, many of the sorting and inspection work before shipment is done by the workers. However, it is difficult to maintain all the workers' sort criteria at the same level, and an oversight can also occur.
In related matters, errors in the quantity of packaging are also one of the mistakes we often see. Small parts that take a long time to count are converted by weighing. However, the weight may vary slightly depending on the lot, so it is not really a good idea.

With the introduction of "VIZION", a high-speed automatic sorter, your sorting work changes drastically.
