2026 International Welding Show Tokyo

The goal is not to introduce AI. We will explain "standardization of manufacturing processes" to eliminate dependency and maximize the effectiveness of AI! While the spread of generative AI is progressing, there is an increasing number of manufacturing companies that say, "We don't know where to apply AI due to the black box nature of the site," and "Despite implementation, productivity hasn't increased." The cause lies not in the performance of AI, but in the "lack of business organization and standardization before implementation." In this webinar, we will clearly explain business improvement methods (BPMS) and how to properly organize business processes to avoid wasting AI investments, using case studies. [Recommended for those who:] - Are struggling to engage the field due to resistance like "busy" or "it's fine as it is." - Want to eliminate differences in rules between factories and locations, as well as dependency and black box issues with veteran employees. - Are being asked to "utilize AI" but don't know where to start due to disorganized business processes.

[Speaker] Ms. Sayako Sumomo, Director, International Equipment Division, Equipment Policy Department, Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency [Key Lecture Content] As the security environment surrounding our country changes at an accelerating pace, the government is promoting defense equipment transfers as an important policy measure to create a desirable security environment for our nation. Promoting defense equipment transfers not only enhances regional deterrence and response capabilities for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region but also contributes to strengthening our country's defense production and technological base through market expansion and supply chain cooperation. Furthermore, the development of the defense industry and other industries with dual-use technologies can lead to growth in the Japanese economy. In this lecture, I will explain recent trends in defense equipment transfers, taking into account the recent revisions to the equipment transfer system. [Lecture Topics] 1. Japan's Defense Policy 2. Significance and System of Equipment Transfers 3. Recent Trends in Equipment Transfers 4. Government Initiatives 5. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
