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.

To construction and civil engineering companies looking for the "next" step in digitalization. This seminar will explain the currently trending topic of "AI utilization" in 45 minutes. We will clearly introduce the latest trends, specific case studies, and steps for implementation to address questions such as "What can AI do?" and "How can it be applied to our business?" Whether your company is already advancing in DX or is just starting to consider AI, you will find hints for improving operational efficiency. 【Schedule】 1: Company introduction and instructor introduction 2: Case studies of AI utilization in the construction and civil engineering industry 3: Convincing examples! Patterns of AI utilization in construction operations 4: Three steps to avoid failure in AI implementation 5: Q&A and closing remarks

We will address the issue of young employees who, despite joining the company, leave due to reasons such as "there's no time to be taught," "I don't understand when I'm told to learn by watching," and "what is written and said varies depending on the project or person in charge." We propose a system that accumulates the know-how of veterans in AI and systems, allowing young employees to search for and solve problems on their own. 【Schedule】 1: Company introduction and instructor introduction 2: Reasons why technical inheritance is not progressing (lack of time, difficulty in verbalizing) 3: "Next-generation manual and know-how sharing methods" utilizing video and AI search 4: Examples of system construction to institutionalize technical inheritance 5: Q&A and closing remarks

[Speaker] Kentarou Kobe, Senior Consultant Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. Power and Energy Division Demand Side Innovation Group [Key Lecture Content] As we strive for carbon neutrality, the importance of stationary storage batteries that support the expansion of renewable energy adoption and the stabilization of electricity supply and demand is increasing. On the other hand, the environment surrounding the battery storage business is undergoing significant changes, including the review of electricity markets and systems, increased renewable energy output control, expanded utilization of demand-side resources, grid connection, cell procurement, cybersecurity, and regional coexistence. In this lecture, we will organize the values required for future battery storage businesses from four perspectives: power system value, renewable energy value, consumer value, and regional value. Based on this, we will introduce points for consideration in business development, focusing on grid-connected and renewable energy co-located systems, taking into account the characteristics of each type. [Lecture Items] 1. Current status of the domestic battery storage market and the future image of battery storage required 2. Market and system trends surrounding grid-connected battery storage and key points 3. Market and system trends surrounding renewable energy co-located battery storage and key points 4. Points for consideration in battery storage businesses that provide multiple values 5. Summary 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Accenture Ltd. Industry & Enterprise Headquarters Managing Director Yuya Horiguchi, Head of Telecommunications and Media Practice Japan Senior Manager Mamoru Yonemura, Digital Core Strategy [Key Lecture Content] This presentation will analyze the next structure of the telecommunications industry from the perspective of investment and business strategy regarding 6G. As standardization intensifies in preparation for commercialization around 2030, there is also strong caution that we may "repeat the same mistakes as with 5G." Starting from environmental changes that could not be anticipated in 2020, such as the expansion of generative AI demand, commercialization of NTN (satellite communications), data sovereignty, and power/supply constraints, we will organize the points of discussion on infrastructure investment, business restructuring, sharing, and monetization. From the standpoint of connecting enterprise demand with telecommunications infrastructure, we will present the investment decisions that telecommunications operators should make and the materials for their next steps.
