Announcement of the First "Mojitori" Seminar

Achieving reduced human error risk and improved traceability through digitization from paper-based management.

♦Background At ISS Yamazaki Machinery, we are engaged in the task of cutting rod-shaped steel materials to lengths suitable for forging in our factory. In the process of cutting steel materials, we used to manually check information such as material type, diameter, and charge number (manufacturing number) visually, and manage it on paper cutting instruction sheets. Following incidents of non-conformance due to misidentification of steel material information on-site, we have been advancing business reforms aimed at supplementing visual checks and improving traceability. ♦Challenges - Misconceptions and misidentifications due to visual checks - Difficulty in investigating causes when foreign materials are mixed or non-conformances occur ♦Solution - Implemented a non-visual check function using kintone × Mojitori ♦Effects of Implementation - Supplemented visual check omissions through photo capture and automatic input - Strengthened evidence through photographic records and improved traceability - Expanded to other departments and factories, currently utilized in various operations

• Document and Data Management

Automatically read step counts from images and reduce transcription work.

♦Background Our company has implemented a program that allows employees to earn rewards based on their average steps per month to promote health. Each month, participants in the program copy the step count screen from their personal healthcare apps, convert it into an image, and register it as evidence in the kintone app. However, since the person in charge visually assesses the results from images of step count screens that differ in format across various apps, it has required about four hours of labor each month. ♦Challenges - The step count screens that serve as evidence vary by individual. - There is a risk of oversight in verification since the person in charge checks visually. - The monthly burden on the person in charge is significant. ♦Solution - Introduced Mojitori. - Reviewed the app's structure to make it easier to apply. ♦Effects of Implementation - Since it can read different screens, we were able to improve operations without significantly changing the current process. - Automatic input has helped prevent human errors. - Reduced labor by 50 hours annually.

[Speaker] Masanori Hayashi Evangelist, NTT Docomo Business, Inc. Visiting Researcher, GLOCOM, International University [Key Lecture Content] The application areas of AI are expanding from generative AI to AI agents and physical AI, while the main battlefield of AI infrastructure is shifting from learning-centric to inference-centric. Against the backdrop of rapidly growing AI demand, investments and entries into AI data centers by various businesses are accelerating. However, new challenges are emerging, such as increasing power and cooling demands, responses to data sovereignty, and the utilization of GX strategy regional systems for data center aggregation. This lecture will overview the latest trends in the AI data center market and investment trends, as well as organize technological innovations such as GPUs, liquid cooling, and all-optical networks, along with policy and institutional trends and industrial challenges. Furthermore, it will envision the future of a decentralized AI infrastructure that connects AI factories, data centers, and the edge, and discuss new industrial foundations and future competitive axes through watt-bit collaboration.
