[Thank You for Attending] Hokuriku Technology Exchange Techno Fair 2023 Exhibition Information: Displaying Appearance Inspection AI and Worker Analysis AI

A must-see for those considering AI implementation! Streamline NG image generation and data management; preprocessing for machine learning has become surprisingly easy!

This is the ideal data management tool for manufacturers considering AI implementation. Preparing AI training data becomes easier, leading to reduced inspection time and lighter workloads. Challenges include: - Complex data management: Organizing image data is difficult, resulting in longer AI training times. - Insufficient NG data: There is a lack of defective product data, which hinders AI accuracy. - Difficult quality control: Data quality is inconsistent, causing variability in inspection results. Implementation is very simple! - Install the tool: Easy setup with cloud provision. - Upload data: Upload existing image data to the tool. - Generate NG samples: Automatically generate the necessary defective product data. - Train AI: Effectively train AI with high-quality data. Also perfect for those who have already implemented visual inspection! - Streamlined data management: Easily integrate and manage current visual inspection data. - Quality improvement: Support for evaluating and enhancing the quality of existing data. - Flexible response: Smooth integration with existing visual inspection AI. - AI validation support: Verify the performance of the AI model after implementation and assist with optimization.

[Speaker] Shogo Yakame, Expert Consultant, Urban Innovation Consulting Department, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the space business has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally. In particular, a new large fund, the "Space Strategy Fund," has been launched in Japan, and the space industry has been selected as one of the 17 key investment areas highlighted by the new administration under Prime Minister Takaichi. In light of these developments, the movement for new entrants into the space business is accelerating; however, voices expressing difficulties in launching and promoting new businesses due to the complexity of the industry structure, high entry barriers, and the current immaturity of the market are not uncommon. This lecture will specifically address the mindset when entering the space business from other industries, as well as the challenges that are likely to be encountered, explaining how to perceive and engage with the space business. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of recent space business 2. Case studies of new entrants from other industries 3. Understanding the space business as a new venture 4.
