Dr. Kigan Cloud: Revolutionizing Mold Management

In 2022, C.I.M. Comprehensive Research Institute Co., Ltd., headquartered in Meguro, Tokyo, introduced a cloud-based mold management system named `Dr. Kigan Cloud`. As Japan's manufacturing sector adapts to new regulations, particularly with the enforcement of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Order Execution Law (commonly referred to as the t取適法), on January 1, 2026, this innovative solution has garnered significant attention.

Understanding the New Regulations

The newly enacted take適法 further emphasizes proper management of molds, an area that previous regulations, like the Subcontract Act, had partially addressed. Previously, businesses could benefit economically by requesting small and medium-sized enterprises to indefinitely store molds without compensation, but with this new law, such practices are strictly regulated. Monitoring and guidance around mold storage practices have been enhanced, ensuring that even cases where contractors control molds owned by small businesses are covered under this law.

Features of Dr. Kigan Cloud

The `Dr. Kigan Cloud` system is designed to address the pressing needs of mold management amidst these regulatory changes. At its core, the platform centralizes basic mold information and maintenance details, boosting efficiency in how businesses manage these critical assets. The system connects major companies, who lend molds, with small and medium-sized contractors, who utilize those molds for production, thus streamlining operations dramatically.

Key functionalities include:
1. Location Management: Real-time tracking of mold whereabouts.
2. Shot Counts: Accurate monitoring of the number of uses a mold has undergone.
3. Maintenance Scheduling: Alerts for when maintenance is due or when molds are approaching their end-of-life.

By utilizing these features, businesses can significantly enhance their operational efficiency, resulting in a digital transformation in mold management, known as Mold Management DX (Digital Transformation).

Cloud and On-Premises Flexibility

In response to diverse operational needs, `Dr. Kigan Cloud` offers both cloud and on-premises deployment options. Depending on their respective system operation policies, companies can select the deployment model that best suits their infrastructure.

This flexibility not only aids in compliance with the new legal requirements but also ensures that operations continue seamlessly as businesses adapt to the new standards.

The Future of Mold Management in Japan

Given the stringent measures implemented through т取適法, the necessity for a robust mold management solution is evident. As more companies familiarize themselves with the requirements and seek reliable ways to navigate this landscape, `Dr. Kigan Cloud` stands out as a pivotal tool to achieve compliance and operational excellence.
