Automating the deburring of holes in machined parts using the SCHUNK deburring tool "R-EMENDO" and Universal Robots.

For this case, we visited our German tool partner, SCHUNK. We visited their CoLab and conducted mutual testing of their material removal application tools, the R-EMENDO series, and Mimic. We focused on deburring with robots. As demonstrated in the video below, Mimic can shape items accurately and effectively without using code. The robot simply follows the movements of the operator's hand. By automating this process, we can improve the overall productivity of the manufacturing process, even without programming skills.

Automating polishing operations with robots. By combining a 3D camera and automatic path generation software, let the robot handle the polishing tasks!

The robot polishing system, CraftMate, offered by Denmark's Nordbo Robotics, which is advancing in "No Code Robotics." It automates the processes of polishing metal parts like car bodies and doors, resin components like bumpers, and wood materials such as furniture and kitchens, which were previously done manually, using collaborative robots and industrial robots. A 3D camera and software automatically generate the robot's trajectory, allowing for the construction of polishing applications even in the absence of a teaching operator.

In recent years, the pharmaceutical and medical industries have faced urgent challenges, including the digitization of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the strengthening of continuous education and human resource development. In this webinar, we will introduce a comprehensive system that not only streamlines operations but also consistently supports education and human resource development by integrating Agatha's SOP management cloud solution "Agatha SOP" with "Ave-TMS," a training management system provided by BIO-TREND BIOPRODUCTS, with whom Agatha has recently signed a distribution agreement. [Program] Part 1: 14:00 - 14:20 "Introduction to Agatha Solutions" Agatha Inc.

[Speaker] Daiki Suzuki, Senior Researcher, Nature and Climate Division, SOMPO Institute Plus Inc. [Key Lecture Content] As we enter 2025, global environmental and sustainability regulations are at a turning point. There are rapid movements of backlash, such as the retreat of U.S. climate policy under the second Trump administration and the simplification of regulations symbolized by the EU's omnibus bill. While the situation is difficult to predict, long-term demands such as investor expectations and decarbonization continue, and in Japan, the mandatory disclosure of sustainability is steadily progressing. In this lecture, we will overview the complex domestic and international situations surrounding sustainability and explore the direction companies should take in the future, incorporating case analyses. [Lecture Topics] 1. Overview of sustainability regulations 2. Unchanging expectations of capital markets and long-term trends 3. Detailed analysis of regional regulations 4. New regulatory frontiers 5. Direction of corporate responses, etc. 6. Q&A

[Instructor] Attorney Shinya Tsuchiya, Ishizaki & Yamanaka Law Office [Key Lecture Content] When various problematic behaviors occur among employees, such as poor work attitude, harassment, and lack of cooperation, if the employer mismanages the response, it can not only significantly disrupt workplace order and operational efficiency but also potentially invalidate the legal effectiveness of disciplinary actions or personnel measures taken against the employee in question. To avoid such risks, appropriate and consistent responses based on employment regulations and internal systems are required. On the other hand, dealing with "problematic employees" often places a significant psychological and practical burden on busy supervisors and HR personnel. In order to maintain smooth business operations, it has become essential to provide support to those responding and to prepare as an organization. In this seminar, we will systematically organize practical knowledge that is useful in the field, focusing on legal points and practical strategies to consider when responding to various types of "problematic employees" that have recently become more apparent, while assuming specific scenarios.

[Instructor] Takahisa Saito, Human Resources Consultant, Saito Social Insurance and Labor Office [Key Lecture Content] Human resource systems support the foundation of an organization. However, if the operation is neglected, the system itself will collapse. There are various systems, but among them, the "grade system, evaluation system, and wage system" can be considered the three major elements. We must design these three major elements with operational considerations in mind. In other words, it is important that the system is easy for management to operate. There is no need to overthink it. Additionally, as work style reforms progress, we must also consider the response to equal pay for equal work. I believe that what lies ahead after organizing the current situation is the "limited regular employee" system. In this seminar, we will share anticipated information and provide clear explanations. Furthermore, for those attending in person, meaningful information exchange is possible through mutual confirmation during Q&A sessions. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends and Perspectives Surrounding Human Resources 2. Basics of the Grade System 3. Basics of the Evaluation System 4. Basics of the Wage System 5. Considering Equal Pay and Job-Based Employment 6.
