February 22 (Wednesday) 13:00 - [5-Axis and Multi-Processing Seminar & Factory Tour for Business Owners]

From design to manufacturing. How to transform "monozukuri" with seamless data integration.

The manufacturing industry in New Japan has not been able to achieve true "productivity improvement" for decades. Additionally, it has not been able to solve issues such as "early development of human resources" and "skill inheritance." We believe that if things continue this way, not only will we be unable to compete with the world, but we will also be left behind. Even with the introduction of 3D CAD and CAM, which should enable "productivity improvement," why is there no change? We would like to share our thoughts at Kodama on the problems faced by Japan's manufacturing industry and how we should confront these issues. For over 30 years, we at Kodama have been supporting our customers as a CAD/CAM vendor to help them achieve optimal factory management. We have also introduced 5-axis and multi-tasking machines and have been operating a prototype factory for 10 years. From this experience, we discuss how everyone can maximize the use of CAD/CAM to create a new manufacturing system that is profitable and free from rework.

Achieving a seamless process from design to construction drawing creation! Also compatible with large-scale assemblies.

In the construction industry, tools such as CAD and CG systems have become widespread to improve the efficiency of individual tasks. However, many companies have not implemented systems to comprehensively streamline the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings. The TopSolid series is a system developed to solve the problems faced in manufacturing and to comprehensively enhance the efficiency of the entire workflow. TopSolid’Design 7 is a BIM-compatible 3D design support system that allows designers to handle the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings without division of labor. Additionally, by unifying the entire workflow of a project into "one engineering database," collaborative tasks can be carried out seamlessly and efficiently. *We also offer a "CAD Seminar for the Construction, Equipment, and Plant Industry" for designers. For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The lecture will clearly explain the optimal business strategies for Japanese companies towards a hydrogen and ammonia society by 2030, in the context of the headwinds from the Trump administration and the fierce competition from Western countries and China.

Our company will participate in the "2026 Yamagata Prefecture Business Negotiation Conference" held in Yamagata Prefecture. We will promote IIDA's processing technology to companies that we do not usually have the opportunity to meet. ◆ Ordering companies: 105 ◆ Receiving companies: 315 (manufacturing industries inside and outside Yamagata Prefecture) This business negotiation conference will be based on a pre-matching format according to the needs of both parties, and it is expected to provide a fruitful venue for negotiations. For companies that, unfortunately, cannot participate this time, we will offer individual negotiations (WEB or face-to-face) and factory tours, so if you are interested, please contact our sales promotion department. 【Iida Manufacturing Co., Ltd.】 〒969-1204 21-2 Mizukami, Nukazawa, Motomiya City, Fukushima Prefecture TEL: 0243-64-2320 FAX: 0243-64-2571

[Speaker] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Innovation and Environment Bureau Deputy Director, GX Investment Promotion Division, Yuki Kamitani [Key Lecture Content] In the rapidly changing international situation surrounding decarbonization, I will introduce the overall policy of Japan's GX (Green Transformation) policy. One of the pillars of the GX policy is the GX Strategy Regional System, which was established in August of last year. This system aims to create new GX-type industrial clusters centered around industrial resources such as complexes and decarbonized power sources by integrating support through GX financial resources with regulatory and institutional reforms. I will provide an overview of this system. [Lecture Topics] 1. International situation surrounding GX 2. Overall picture of Japan's GX policy 3. About the GX Strategy Regional System 4. Q&A / Business card exchange
