“Straight-Rolled Rice Balls” Square-Fold Packaging Line: Proposal for Reducing Labor by 5 People
Automated production of “directly wrapped rice balls” on an automated line, capable of producing 4,800 units per hour! We propose a solution that reduces staffing by five people through the automation of filling, feeding into the packaging machine, inspection, and stacking.

Example of an automated rice ball production line in operation
By coordinating the operation of our machinery, we have achieved a manufacturing process that does not rely on manual labor. You can see for yourself how this minimizes variations in workmanship and ensures stable production with consistent quality.
Proprietary Technology
01
Automatic Feeding
Automatically feeds rice balls at a high speed of 4,800 per hour.
Adjustable pitch and center position ensure reliable feeding.

02
Automated Inspection
High-precision inspection of
・POS (product name label)
・POS (barcode label)
・Packaging defects (creases)
for hand-rolled onigiri.
Defective products are sorted and ejected, and the machine stops operation.

03
Alignment, Stacking, and Unstacking
This system automates the entire process—from aligning rice balls to loading them into trays, stacking the trays, and unstacking them. Automatic inspection in the preceding process ensures that only合格 products are loaded into the trays.
Implementation Simulation
We will use a graph to clearly illustrate how staffing and costs change depending on the implementation plan.
Return on investment in just three years, even with a single production line
