A success story in automotive body repair polishing with European automobile manufacturers! By utilizing FerRobotics' ACT for robotic automation of post-paint repair polishing, we achieve labor reduction in expert polishing tasks that require master-class polishing techniques.

FerRobotics creates a new standard for automated polishing! Successfully robotized the repair polishing after automotive body painting with high-speed pressure correction control.

Complete control of pressing force with high-speed automatic correction using our technology ACT at the end effector. In the video, world-class companies (users) share their success stories. Repair polishing, which is necessary to remove dust and tiny scratches mixed in after painting automotive bodies and resin parts without damaging the underlying surface, is a task that truly requires skilled craftsmanship. By utilizing FerRobotics' ACT to automate this expert-level polishing, we achieve a reduction in the workforce needed for expert polishing tasks. Additionally, by rapidly correcting and precisely maintaining the pressing force, we dramatically improve the consumption of consumables, significantly contributing to cost reduction. ■ Benefits: - Dramatic improvement in cycle time due to high-speed autonomous correction control of pressing force. - Automation of manual tasks that require high skill, achieving reduction in labor costs. - Maintaining a high level of quality, enabling polishing 24/7, 365 days a year. - Significant cost reduction by controlling the consumption of consumables through high-speed autonomous correction of pressing force. - Allowing robots to handle 3K tasks. - Avoiding the risk of vibration issues through automation. - High ROI (return on investment), allowing for early recovery of capital investment.

Automation of repair polishing for painting finishes that require highly skilled techniques. Significant reduction in cycle time using a double header with a high-speed autonomous contact force correction control system.

FerRobotics' Active Compliant Technology automatically corrects the "difference" in contact pressure (force) generated during polishing and grinding processes, which require skilled techniques, at high speed. This technology allows for consistent polishing/grinding at the set contact force, unaffected by variations in processing speed or gravitational load differences due to angles. Using the patented ACT in the end effector (ACF), it instantly and automatically compensates for changes in dimensional tolerances, curved shapes, and non-flat surfaces by rapidly adjusting the stroke, maintaining contact with the workpiece at the set force. With a double header, it enables two processes—sanding and polishing—on a single machine, significantly improving cycle times. Additionally, in robotic polishing and grinding, the ACF controls the contact pressure through the expansion and contraction of its stroke, eliminating the need to move the heavy robot arm for corrections, thus assisting in improving processing speed. Furthermore, it automatically compensates for tool load changes due to gravity, which varies with the robot's angle, ensuring uniform contact pressure from any angle and enabling a finish without processing inconsistencies.

JOHNAN has released a video that clearly explains the implementation technology for stretchable films, which are expected to be utilized in wearable devices and medical equipment. In the video, you can see how the film, which has excellent elasticity, stretches and contracts. Please check our high technological capabilities and the flexible characteristics that are useful for product development. We hope this will help you generate new ideas in product development. ▼You can watch the video here [Link to the implementation page for stretchable films] https://www.johnan.com/dms/mounting/filmdevic/stretchable/

We would like to inform you that our company has recorded a special loss (executive retirement benefits) for the first half of the fiscal year ending December 2025, as detailed below. Furthermore, the payment of executive retirement benefits was approved at the "51st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders" held on March 28, 2025. 1. Recording of Special Loss In recognition of the long-standing contributions of one retiring director, we have recorded a special loss of 14,045 thousand yen as executive retirement benefits. 2. Impact on Performance The impact of this matter on the performance forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2025 is minimal. End.

We will disclose the interim financial results for the fiscal period ending December 2025.

As part of the "Hometown Ibara Future Creation Human Resource Development Project," we welcomed local elementary and middle school students to the special summer program "Ibara Job Exploration Tour 2025," a collaboration between the Ibara City Chamber of Commerce and the Corporate Branding Committee. We conducted a presentation that clearly and enjoyably introduced how our technology supports society, allowing the children to learn about the appeal of manufacturing and the significance of working while interacting with actual devices and products. Through this initiative, we hope to deepen our connection with the community and nurture the curiosity of the children who will carry the future. We sincerely thank everyone who participated, as well as all those involved in planning and organizing the event.
