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.

[Speaker] Yukari Nagata, CEO of Data Viz Lab Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The use of AI in companies often remains at the "point" level (PoC, partial use), and there is insufficient advancement in utilizing it through "lines" across business and operational processes. This year, it is expected that many companies will focus on balancing "offensive" and "defensive" strategies. We will explain practical data management concepts and specific measures, covering data strategy design, quality management, governance, and organizational embedding. [Lecture Items] 1. Reasons why corporate AI utilization stops at "points" 2. Overall design for AI utilization that operates on "lines" 3. Data strategy calculated backward from business value 4. Practical data quality management 5. Governance design: Balancing offense and defense 6. Data infrastructure and metadata utilization in the AI era 7. How to create organization, roles, and embedding 8. Implementation roadmap 9. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturer] CES 2026 Innovation Award Judge Special Researcher / IT Journalist, Zhao Zhang-eun, KDDI Research Institute [Key Lecture Content] At CES 2026, the world's largest technology exhibition, Hyundai Motor Group's Boston Dynamics showcased the humanoid "Atlas," which was publicly unveiled for the first time as a representative example of physical AI. This humanoid is not merely a laboratory-level imitation of human movement, but a humanoid designed to surpass humans for use in manufacturing environments. LG also presented a home robot that continues to be developed to free people from household chores. It can take ingredients out of the refrigerator and put them in the oven, as well as take laundry out of the washing machine and fold it. The humanoids from South Korea feature a national representative foundation model that understands Korean and have distinctive hands and fingers. South Korean companies such as Samsung, LG, SK, and Hyundai Motor aim to become the global leaders in physical AI by 2030, and they have begun preparations for AI factories where AI robots understand the environment and perform tasks. Let's find business insights from South Korea's strategy, which actively collaborates with global big tech companies and engages in industry-academia-government partnerships.

This is aimed at those who want to learn about sensors from scratch, introducing the mechanisms of sensors, the characteristics and usage of each sensor, and considerations to keep in mind when choosing them. There are no difficult formulas, so I believe even those from non-technical backgrounds can participate. ■ Date: February 3, 2026 (Tuesday) 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM ■ Organized by: Tech Design Co., Ltd. ■ Venue: Online

In today's society, where the promotion of digital transformation (DX) is advancing, many companies are attempting to utilize data to address issues such as labor shortages and improve operational efficiency. However, there are also companies that struggle to effectively promote data utilization due to a lack of IT literacy and data scientists. For example, they may face challenges such as handling vast amounts of data or the difficulties of implementation (such as workforce development). In this webinar, we will introduce the concepts and tips for data analysis. Additionally, we will discuss techniques for managing work smartly by leveraging AI in the field of data analysis. This is a webinar that we encourage everyone who wants to start utilizing data or those who wish to revisit the fundamentals of data utilization to attend! It has become a very popular webinar. We look forward to your participation!

Are there any tasks such as on-site reports, inspections, or daily reports that you think would be convenient if they could be done with an app, but have not been realized? In this seminar, we will introduce how easily business applications can be created using the no-code tool "Platio," and how they are used on-site, primarily through actual screen demonstrations. By observing the flow of app creation and the user experience, you will be able to determine if Platio fits your company's operations and visualize how it can be utilized. This seminar is recommended for those who have heard of Platio but want to know specifically what can be done with it and how it is used.
