In the era of industry 4.0, automation is becoming increasingly important. However, the team “automation” covers much more than just the complex high-tech robots that many associate with modern industry whose costs are highly prohibitive. The principle of Karakuri Kaizen, a central compoenent of lean philosophy, centres on easil implemented automation solutions that operates on purely mechnical basis. By aking clever use of kinetic energy as it is released and consistently avoiding waste, this approach can yield stirking results.

Karakuri is a an automation mechnism that was invented in Japan in the 17th to 19th Century. At first, most of the applications that were developed were used for leisure purposes, such as serving tea. For decades, Karakuri has been a central element of the lean philiosophy, where it refers to the simple but intelligent automation of processes based on physical principles – wit no drives, senors, electricity or compressed air. The intention is use of mechanic resources that are already in pace – existing plants, parts and components on the one hand and the creativity of the on-site workforce on the other (low-cost automation). Karakuri is the use of mechanic gadgetry rather than electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic devices. Defenitely no computers! Within lean, it stands for mechincal gadgets that improve your system.
In India, the adoption if Karakuri Kaizen has not gained momentum even though a few companies are practicing it without much publicity. Now QCFI is taking initiative through its Coimbatore Chapter in collaboration with PSG group of institutions. PSGiTECH has set up an exclusive Lab and Training Centre KARAKURI DHOSO for this purpose in their campus.
