• PLC

It is an IoT gateway specialized for connection with PLCs. It can collect the data necessary for visualizing the operational status of production equipment without programming.

"KES IoT Logic .simple" is an IoT gateway for factory automation (FA) that has data reading capabilities from MELSEC sequencers and Modbus devices. It can be integrated into your products to visualize operational status or added to factory production equipment for remote monitoring of operational status, allowing maintenance and upkeep from your office or home. As long as there is an internet connection, you can grasp the operational status from anywhere, leading to reduced travel costs and contributing to work style reform. 【Features】 ■ An IoT gateway for factory automation with data reading capabilities from MELSEC sequencers and Modbus devices ■ Upload memory data to the cloud from sequencers/PLCs without programming ■ Appropriate maintenance guidance and cost reduction for users through usage status management ■ Reduced maintenance costs for equipment located in remote areas through remote monitoring

IoT Gateway "KES IoT Logic" Solution Azure Stream Analytics On Edge

The IoT gateway series "KES IoT Logic" can build the solution "Azure Stream Analytics On Edge" in collaboration with Microsoft Azure. By building "Azure Stream Analytics On Edge," it is possible to deploy (download and execute) programs created in the cloud to the IoT gateway. Primarily, it enables real-time processing on-site and the preprocessing of collected data for transmission to the cloud. At an advanced level, it is also possible to deploy the entire machine learning engine to the IoT gateway.

We plan to display the actual cabinet for equipment management, "SMART BEE," so please be sure to visit us. 【Model Numbers】 ■ Vending Machine Type Tool Management Cabinet Smart Bee X, Smart Bee S, Cute Bee, Smart Bee Pro ■ Locker Shelf Type Tool and Consumables Management Cabinet T Series: T57, T100, T108 TW Series (with electronic scale): TW45, TW68, Hyper S, Hive

We will be exhibiting at "Japan DX Week Spring 2026," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 8 (Wednesday) to April 10 (Friday). At the Marble booth, we plan to showcase how AI can improve work efficiency and lead to business automation in on-site operations. Additionally, we will provide an opportunity to experience a demonstration utilizing the latest technology, AR. Furthermore, for our manufacturing industry customers, we will present proposals under the theme "Utilizing Drawings to Drive DX," promoting the digitalization of design and quality areas, and introducing packaged products and custom services aimed at enhancing productivity in the manufacturing sector.

Core systems are the foundational support for corporate management, and their importance is increasingly heightened in the DX era, where data becomes a source of competitive advantage. To respond swiftly and flexibly to the rapidly changing business environment, a transformation in the nature of systems is required. We will introduce a method to realize a highly flexible and scalable business system that promotes operational efficiency and data utilization through the combination of kintone and ASTERIA Warp, using examples and demonstrations.

The widespread adoption of generative AI is rapidly evolving from traditional "conversational AI" to "autonomous execution AI (AI agents)." The AI agents that have recently garnered attention are not limited to merely generating responses; they can incorporate an autonomous processing flow of "planning → task decomposition → execution → evaluation," serving as new partners that can substitute and expand users' business operations. In this seminar, we will clearly introduce the following topics, incorporating examples of the AI solution "AIdea Suite AGENT +plus" and the data integration tool "ASTERIA Warp": - Why "AI agents" are becoming essential for corporate competitiveness now - The mechanisms of AI agents and specific use cases - Methods for establishing business efficiency, creating new value, and gaining a competitive edge - Specific steps for implementing AI agents - Data integration and its methods, which are essential for utilizing AI *This is a re-broadcast of the seminar held on October 30, 2025 (Thursday).
