Set against the backdrop of the World Heritage Site Himeji Castle, we present a full CG video utilizing the latest technology. In this project, we created intricate CG models using point cloud data obtained from drone footage captured on-site, leveraging Unreal Engine. The point cloud data acquired through aerial photography captures the castle's main keep, stone walls, and surrounding landscapes with millimeter precision, accurately reproducing actual dimensions and shapes in the CG environment. By utilizing Unreal Engine's real-time rendering capabilities, we faithfully reconstructed light, shadow, and texture expressions, enabling a variety of dynamic presentations, including changes between day and night and the four seasons. Furthermore, the produced CG video can also be developed as VR content. The presentation allows for experiences that are difficult to achieve with regular video, such as "perspectives from the inside" and a "historical exploration mood," which are envisioned for a wide range of applications, including tourism promotion and educational events. This video production symbolizes the fusion of cultural heritage preservation and cutting-edge technology. It aims to connect the value of Himeji Castle to future generations and contribute to the dissemination of its new charm. As a work that demonstrates the potential of CG and VR in future historical tourism, we confidently recommend it.

At Toray Engineering Co., Ltd., we have been promoting DX (Digital Transformation) across the company since October 2018 with the aim of consistent business reform! However, even after unifying our 3D CAD software, challenges remained, such as "the inability to easily search for data of similar shapes created in the past." This led to the perception that "it's faster to create new designs," resulting in a decline in QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery). The similar shape search system "SS4M" allows not only for attribute value searches but also for searches based on shape features, enabling the reuse of parts and the development of design reuse, which has been evaluated as contributing to the improvement of QCD, leading to its adoption. [Case Overview] ■ Purpose of Implementation: Aiming to achieve both QCD improvement and business efficiency through design reuse. ■ Key Factors for Decision - Attribute information from CAD is carried over. - There is no need to create models for searching similar shapes. - Strengthening compatibility with other systems. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

In the Fiber Machinery Division, the drawings that have been issued are managed using our in-house developed drawing management system. It is difficult to achieve standardization of parts across different models from the large number of drawings available, leading designers to feel that "it is faster to create new drawings than to search for similar ones," which has a significant impact on lead times and costs. As the development of new models progresses, improving the efficiency of design operations and reducing the number of drawings have become challenges. To address this, we considered our tool "SS4M" as an efficiency tool for quickly finding drawings and similar parts from the vast accumulation of drawings, as well as a tool to promote parts standardization. Not only does it have a similar shape search function, but it also offers 3D shape comparison capabilities, high similarity accuracy, and excellent usability. As a result, the decision was made to implement it in the design and materials departments of the Fiber Machinery Division!

At Nikon Corporation, we are constantly implementing process reforms to shorten product development periods in order to provide products to users as quickly as possible. To reduce design time and eliminate unnecessary costs, "common design," which involves implementing existing components into new products, is crucial. However, there have been challenges such as "variability in the time and accuracy of finding common components depending on the designer's experience." To address these challenges, we have introduced a similar shape search system called "SS4M." The goal is to improve product development speed by quickly searching for components and rapidly calculating estimated costs based on cost information linked to those components! 【Case Overview】 ■ Background of Implementation (Challenges) - Variability in the time and accuracy of finding common components due to the designer's experience - It takes time to optimize component configurations considering costs ■ Key Factors for Implementation - Ability to search for highly accurate similar components regardless of the shape of the parts - Fast response for operations and displays, making it easy to visually search for components *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the similar shape search system 'SS4M' at Tamron Co., Ltd., a comprehensive optical equipment manufacturer. At the company, when conducting pre-molding simulations using CAE, they first search for similar parts to reference past molding conditions. There were challenges such as cases where the accuracy of the similar parts found in the search was low, which led to a decrease in the accuracy of the CAE. Therefore, they decided to implement the system with the aim of reducing the search workload for calculating molding conditions, reducing the workload for creating estimates of molded products, and reducing the CAM workload for mold components, as well as improving the accuracy of CAE! 【Reasons for Implementation】 ■ Easy data management through attribute registration ■ User-friendly, including good operability ■ Convenience of the program, including automation capabilities *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The biggest difference between AGVs and AMRs is their mode of operation. AGV stands for Automated Guided Vehicle, and as the name suggests, it refers to unmanned transport vehicles that determine their route using guiding materials such as magnetic tape. On the other hand, AMR, or Autonomous Mobile Robot, does not require guiding materials. It obtains its position from information gathered by sensors and travels according to its objectives. Our company's 'SiBOT' adopts a SLAM method that estimates its position using lasers, allowing it to automatically calculate the route to its destination and autonomously move there! Additionally, unlike AGVs that follow guides, AMRs can detect and avoid obstacles while traveling. This means that even if there are people or goods in the same area, they can reach their destination while avoiding collisions, demonstrating excellent collaboration with humans. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us by mentioning "Ipros."
