SPIDER: A rope balancer that can move freely in all directions like a spider.

The Smart Lift Spider R type is an electric rope balancer, with a load capacity ranging from 75kg to 600kg. It is designed to be used when mounted on a rail system. Five features of the Spider: ■ Measurement Cell The presence of a measurement cell allows for optimal mobility performance. It can self-balance, and the loaded weight is displayed accurately. ■ Endless Rotation The rotation unit is attached to the operating handle, enabling infinite rotation and movement of the load. ■ Easy Programming This device allows for easy setting of different speeds and the ability to reduce speed at pickup/release points. ■ Rail System A connect plate is provided to allow attachment to rail systems from other manufacturers. ■ Customizable With flexible software, the device can be customized to meet the needs of different attachments and other input/output applications.

[Demo unit available] A combination of a 360-degree rotating radial arm and a tilting arm! Improves the worker's burden during tightening and deburring tasks! Achieves smooth and precise movements!

The tightening and deburring tool "3arm" is an arm designed based on ergonomics. It streamlines tightening tasks, assists in assembly, deburrs, and simplifies all lifting operations. It addresses the decline in safety, productivity, and quality caused by worker fatigue! Its smooth and precise movements are a strong advantage for speedy operations! 【It can solve the following stresses!】 ■ Stress from reaction force when tightening bolts with a nut runner ■ Stress from vibrations during deburring work using a grinder 【What is the particularly versatile "3arm Series 3"?】 It is a combination product with a radially rotating arm and a tilting arm. With a wide selection of head member options, it can provide various solutions for loads up to 35kg. It is ideal for impact wrenches, nut runners, grinders, magnetic drills, scanners, welding tools, and more! By combining "3arm" units, it can be fixed to ceiling suspensions or top plates. It features a rotation and tilting locking system that can be operated by air or manually, allowing for installation in fixed positions with simultaneous or individual stops. ★ We are currently accepting tests with demo units! ★ You can watch product videos from the link below!

Two balancers can be operated simultaneously with one control module.

An air balancer is a wire-wound balancer that operates solely on pneumatic power. It is designed to solve the challenges of lifting heavy products and aligning them. The dual drum balancer is effective in situations where jigs or workpieces are large and difficult to handle, or when achieving balance on both sides is challenging. Two balancers can be operated simultaneously with a single control module. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations. [Lecture Items] 1. Job Hunting Sexual Harassment 2. Customer Harassment 3. Q&A

[Speaker] Mr. Itsuki Wakayama, Project General Manager, Technology Promotion Unit, Low Carbon Solutions Division, INPEX Corporation [Key Lecture Content] The greatest advantage of synthetic methane production through CO2 methanation technology is that it enables decarbonization without significant additions or modifications to all existing natural gas and city gas infrastructure. At INPEX, after two NEDO commissioned projects, we have been conducting the development of practical application technology with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h, one of the largest in the world, as a subsidized project by NEDO since the fiscal year 2021. By the fiscal year 2025, we aim to achieve the injection of synthetic methane produced during the demonstration operation of the test facility. This presentation will provide detailed information on the results of the NEDO project for the fiscal year 2025, including the current status of the latest test facilities. [Presentation Items] 1. INPEX's efforts towards net zero by 2050 2. Policy trends related to CO2 methanation 3. Challenges of CO2 methanation 4. Results of the NEDO practical application technology development project with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h for the fiscal year 2025 5. Future commercialization prospects and challenges 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Satoru Shimizu, President and CEO of Okunote Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Generative AI is not a "magic wand," but a "mirror" that reflects the questions of the user. In this lecture, based on my book "The 'Super' Planning Techniques Practiced by Competition Disruptors: Seven Creative Steps to Lead Winning Strategies with the 'Art of Questioning'," I will explain how to overcome the challenges of proposals being rejected, not moving forward within the company, and not being executed on-site through interactions with AI. I will introduce the entire process of planning, linking it with AI utilization, from question design to hypothesis destruction, structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective, forming internal consensus, managing execution, and turning reflections into assets. In the latter part of the workshop (exclusive to on-site participants), you will actually formulate questions and refine your dialogue with AI, taking home usable "art of questioning" techniques for tomorrow. [Lecture Items] 1. Orientation: AI is a "mirror," not a "magic wand." 2. Enhancing the precision of planning through "question design" and "hypothesis destruction." 3. Structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective to create "acceptable" proposals. 4. Forming consensus that transcends internal barriers. 5. Mechanisms that prevent execution from stopping and turning experiences into assets through reflection. 6. Habitualizing AI as a "partner" and the roles humans will take on in the AI era.

【Exhibition Overview】 A collection of products related to data centers, which are at the core of AI infrastructure, gathered in one place.
