<Free Seminar on September 17, 2026 (Thursday) at 4 PM> What is the information utilization strategy to transform the maintenance department into a revenue engine?

Zero oversight in response even with personnel changes. A maintenance management system that eliminates dependency on individuals.

In the manufacturing industry, the stable operation of equipment is directly linked to maintaining productivity, which requires accurate management of inspection, maintenance, and repair histories, as well as prompt and appropriate responses. If the person in charge is absent or during handovers, unclear past response histories or lack of information sharing can lead to delays in response and a decline in quality, potentially resulting in a decrease in equipment operating rates. This system addresses these challenges by centrally managing inspection, maintenance, and repair histories and standardizing maintenance operations, ensuring that the quality of responses is maintained even when personnel change, thereby achieving operational efficiency. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Management of regular inspection and maintenance schedules - Management of response histories for unexpected failures or repair requests - Aggregation of equipment and device information by customer - Management of maintenance contract details and renewal dates 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Standardization of response quality through enhanced information sharing among personnel - Improved operational efficiency by preventing oversight and reliance on specific individuals - Rapid problem-solving based on past histories - Contribution to maintaining and improving equipment operating rates

Introducing the reasons why CRM is needed in the manufacturing industry and the business challenges that can be improved with CRM!

"Changes in specifications received by the sales department are not communicated to the manufacturing site." "The latest drawing information is not shared, leading to rework." "The maintenance department is unable to grasp the special notes at the time of delivery." Such inter-departmental coordination mistakes are not uncommon in the manufacturing industry. Additionally, there are many cases where customer interaction history and equipment information are managed separately, resulting in fragmented information. A useful tool for solving these issues is CRM (Customer Relationship Management System). In this article, we will explain the reasons why CRM is needed in the manufacturing industry, the business challenges that can be improved through its implementation, and how to effectively establish it on-site along with selection points. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the related links.

[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.
