Karakuri is a Japanese term that means gimmick, mechanism, and trick. In manufacturing, the principle of Karakuri focuses on simple, easily-implemented automation that relies on natural forces such as gravity and momentum instead of electrical power supply. Karakuri is usually implemented to reduce non-value added work in a process without the need to invest in more expensive systems. Karakuri approach optimizes energy and working speed, improve ergonomics, reduce unnecessary movement, workload, and eliminates redundant work processes to increase productivity, all without depending on a power supply.
