August 25 (Friday) 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.

Although I have heard that verification efficiency at the RTL stage improves with verification methodologies using SystemVerilog such as UVM, many designers may not fully understand what can be done with SystemVerilog and how to use it. In this seminar, we will introduce the basic functions and usefulness of SystemVerilog verification using a sample design. 1. Design Overview 2. UART Test Environment 3. Assertions (SVA & PSL) 4. Functional Coverage 5. Random Test Bench 6. DPI-C

The RTCA/DO-254 guidance recommends that applicants define and implement HDL coding standards. This work begins with a planning process that includes the definition of the standard, how it will be implemented, and, if the process is automated, the evaluation methods for tools or results. A key issue is that the guidance does not have clearly defined formal standards, leading to questions about how to conduct a detailed review of HDL code. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the use of ALINT-PRO to enforce coding standards and highlight the benefits of streamlining the overall design review to meet the objectives of DO-254.

[Speaker] Takahiro Tachikawa, President of International University and Professor at the Graduate School of International Management [Key Lecture Content] In February of this year, the 7th Energy Basic Plan was approved by the Cabinet. What is the essence of this plan that the media and others do not convey? How will this plan impact the development and social implementation of hydrogen, ammonia, and next-generation fuels (synthetic methane, synthetic liquid fuels, green LP gas, etc.)? This lecture will delve into these points. In particular, it will focus on the content of the risk scenario, which is viewed as the main scenario among stakeholders in the energy industry, and the newly defined role of natural gas as an "important energy source even after achieving carbon neutrality." [Lecture Items] 1. The 7th Energy Basic Plan 2. Hydrogen 3. Ammonia 4. Synthetic Fuels 5. Risk Scenario 6. Natural Gas Shift 7. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Lecturer] Professor Shiro Kawabata, Faculty of Science and Technology, Hosei University [Key Lecture Content] Prime Minister Ishiba has positioned 2025 as the inaugural year for the industrialization of quantum technology and has indicated a policy to strengthen support for the industrialization of quantum technology. Additionally, at the G7 Summit held in Canada in June 2025, a joint statement titled "Joint Statement on the Future of Quantum Technology," focusing on quantum technology centered around quantum computers, was adopted. Quantum computers are computers that utilize principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and quantum entanglement, for information processing. By using quantum computers, it becomes possible to solve several mathematical problems, such as factorization, machine learning, quantum chemistry calculations, finance, and linear simultaneous equations, exponentially faster compared to classical computers. As a result, major global corporations and startups are globally expanding their development and business in quantum computer hardware and software. This seminar will introduce the basics of quantum computers, the latest research and development trends, business trends, technical challenges, and future prospects.

[Speaker] Shintaro Kobayashi, Group Manager, ICT and Content Industry Consulting Department, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The Personal Information Protection Law is undergoing fundamental changes to promote AI development. The Personal Information Protection Commission has proposed a shift towards a risk-based system where companies voluntarily address risks. A key feature of this new system is the establishment of a framework that allows the use of personal information for AI development without the need for individual consent. In this lecture, based on the policy of legal reform, we will carefully explain the points for advancing data utilization by leveraging the legal benefits of the new system, as well as how to establish privacy governance that should drive these efforts, incorporating specific initiatives and examples of solutions. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends in the amendment of the Personal Information Protection Law 2. Practical methods for utilizing personal information without individual consent 3. PETs for safely utilizing AI 4. Achieving governance efficiency and sophistication through AI 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
