Fully Booked【Overseas Certification PRO】Announcement of the seminar on "Revisions to Machine Safety and Group Safety Standards ISO 13849-1 - Key Changes for 2023" to be held in Tokyo on April 18 (Thursday).

(Announcement of Free Seminar) 4/18 (Thu) Revision of Machine Safety and Group Safety Standard ISO 13849-1, 5/17 (Fri) Basics of EMC Testing Preparation

On November 30, 2023, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) issued the revised version 4 of ISO 13849-1. As one of the most important standards in the group of international standards for machine safety (Type B standards), "ISO 13849-1" specifies the design principles for safety-related parts of control systems. This standard evaluates the safety performance of control systems in terms of Performance Level (PL) as a condition to determine whether it is appropriate to implement risk reduction using control systems after conducting a risk assessment of the machinery. It stipulates that the PL must be at least the required PLr to reduce risks. When placing machinery on the market in Europe (EU), it is necessary to comply with the Machinery Directive (which will become the Machinery Regulation in 2027), and the harmonized standard EN ISO 12100 outlines the procedures that must be considered when conducting risk assessments and risk reduction for machinery. Recently, there has been an increase in inquiries, and it has been decided to hold a seminar on April 18 (Thursday) in Otemachi, Tokyo, inviting experts to discuss the overview and changes of this standard, as well as risk assessment for machinery.

We will be exhibiting at "Japan DX Week Spring 2026," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 8 (Wednesday) to April 10 (Friday). At the Marble booth, we plan to showcase how AI can improve work efficiency and lead to business automation in on-site operations. Additionally, we will provide an opportunity to experience a demonstration utilizing the latest technology, AR. Furthermore, for our manufacturing industry customers, we will present proposals under the theme "Utilizing Drawings to Drive DX," promoting the digitalization of design and quality areas, and introducing packaged products and custom services aimed at enhancing productivity in the manufacturing sector.

Core systems are the foundational support for corporate management, and their importance is increasingly heightened in the DX era, where data becomes a source of competitive advantage. To respond swiftly and flexibly to the rapidly changing business environment, a transformation in the nature of systems is required. We will introduce a method to realize a highly flexible and scalable business system that promotes operational efficiency and data utilization through the combination of kintone and ASTERIA Warp, using examples and demonstrations.

The widespread adoption of generative AI is rapidly evolving from traditional "conversational AI" to "autonomous execution AI (AI agents)." The AI agents that have recently garnered attention are not limited to merely generating responses; they can incorporate an autonomous processing flow of "planning → task decomposition → execution → evaluation," serving as new partners that can substitute and expand users' business operations. In this seminar, we will clearly introduce the following topics, incorporating examples of the AI solution "AIdea Suite AGENT +plus" and the data integration tool "ASTERIA Warp": - Why "AI agents" are becoming essential for corporate competitiveness now - The mechanisms of AI agents and specific use cases - Methods for establishing business efficiency, creating new value, and gaining a competitive edge - Specific steps for implementing AI agents - Data integration and its methods, which are essential for utilizing AI *This is a re-broadcast of the seminar held on October 30, 2025 (Thursday).
