Notice of Participation in the 8th Smart Factory EXPO: Displaying Exterior Inspection AI and Worker Analysis AI

DX transformation with operator analysis AI: Visualizing work processes and converting "tacit knowledge" into "explicit knowledge." We will streamline and optimize the manufacturing process!

We will clarify the tasks in manufacturing and logistics that are prone to errors and time-consuming, and achieve appropriate personnel placement, training, workload verification, and improvement of work mistakes. To this end, we will promote the digital transformation (DX) of operations, which can enhance productivity and quality. To address issues such as labor shortages and the transmission of skills, we will utilize the "Worker Analysis AI" to smoothly implement the SECI model (Socialization, Externalization, Combination, Internalization), promoting personnel training, efficient work, and knowledge sharing. The "Worker Analysis AI" strengthens corporate competitiveness and supports sustainable growth. **The Necessity of Converting Tacit Knowledge into Explicit Knowledge** In various operations, the experience of skilled workers tends to accumulate as tacit knowledge within individuals. Converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge offers the following benefits: - Standardization: Ensures consistency in work procedures and quality. - Efficient Training: Enables rapid training of new employees. - Knowledge Sharing: Shares knowledge across the organization, improving performance. - Risk Mitigation: Reduces risks associated with worker transfers and resignations. - Continuous Improvement: Promotes process improvements, optimizing efficiency and costs. *For more details, please refer to the "Related Catalog" and "Other Materials" and contact us.*

[Speaker] Noricazu Seko, President and CEO of Servant Coach Co., Ltd. Representative Director of the 1-on-1 Communication Association [Key Lecture Content] Recently, due to changes in social conditions such as work style reforms and remote work, communication between supervisors and subordinates within organizations has decreased. In such an environment, companies face challenges such as improving employee engagement and developing autonomous talent. One area that has garnered attention is the dialogue between supervisors and subordinates, specifically 1-on-1 meetings. Currently, many companies and organizations are beginning to implement 1-on-1 meetings, but there are numerous challenges regarding sustainability and quality improvement. The key to addressing these challenges lies in the role of the subordinate. In this seminar, we will explain the points for introducing, sustaining, and improving the quality of 1-on-1 meetings, focusing on the often-overlooked role of the subordinate. [Lecture Items] 1. [Why] Why is 1-on-1 necessary now? 2. [What] What should we discuss? "Alignment 9 Box (R)" 3. [How] How should we engage in dialogue? 4. Q&A
