Cutting of complex shapes such as passenger ships is also possible! Introducing Hougetsu Industry's laser cutting processing! [Factory tours currently available]

Hougetsu Industrial Co., Ltd. is a company that develops its business mainly in precision gas cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, drilling, tapping, and machining. We respond to short delivery times and small lot sizes, quickly supplying steel plate products for construction machinery, steel frames, civil engineering, bridges, industrial machinery, and industrial vehicles. Our cutting processes utilize different methods depending on the plate thickness and processing requirements, allowing us to cut steel plates ranging from 3.2mm to 150mm in various shapes. Furthermore, we can accommodate a wide variety of small quantities (from one piece) to meet required sizes. "Laser cutting" is a method that uses laser light emitted by a laser oscillator to melt metal, which is then blown away and decomposed by assist gas. Due to the processing with laser light, it is very speedy, and the cut surfaces are beautifully finished. It is less affected by heat, making it suitable for cutting thin plates that require precise processing, as well as for cutting complex shapes such as those found in passenger ships. 【Laser Cutting】 ■ Plate thickness: t3.2 to 12 ■ Maximum dimensions: 1524mm x 3048mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We consider the cutting method based on the plate thickness and processing details! Let us introduce our cutting processing! [Factory tours available]

Hōgetsu Industrial Co., Ltd. is a company that develops its business primarily in precision gas cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, drilling, tapping, and machining. Our cutting processes can cut steel plates with thicknesses ranging from 3.2 mm to 150 mm into various shapes. We accommodate a wide variety of sizes, even in small quantities (from one piece). Additionally, we select cutting methods based on the plate thickness and processing requirements. We offer "gas cutting," which uses a flame of propane and oxygen, as well as "plasma cutting," which instantly melts the base material by directly blowing plasma-activated oxygen or air onto it. We also provide "laser cutting," where a laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator melts the metal, which is then blown away and decomposed by assist gas. Furthermore, we have "saw cutting," which achieves high precision, better cutting surfaces, and high-speed cutting. 【Cutting Processing】 ■ Gas Cutting (NC Cutting Machine) - Plate Thickness: from t14 to 150 mm - Maximum Dimensions: 2100 mm × 6100 mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd.

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
