Projecting instructions onto the workbench allows anyone to assemble and pick! It also shortens OJT tasks, manages processes, and improves operations.

This is a workbench that can project work procedures and other information using projection mapping. Primarily used in cell production environments, it guides workers by projecting the locations of parts and videos/images of work instructions onto the workbench, enabling anyone to easily perform picking and assembly of parts. If a mistake is made in the procedure, a buzzer will alert the worker. It is also effective for on-the-job training (OJT) for new and foreign workers. Work performance can be visualized through data. This helps eliminate worker errors and improves both the quality and efficiency of production sites. For more details, please download the catalog.

From July 15 (Tuesday) to July 20 (Sunday), 2025, the "42nd Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships" was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. We would like to report on the motion capture experience session conducted by Yonex Co., Ltd. at the venue. During the experience session, participants were asked to swing three different types of rackets from different generations, focusing on whether there were differences in their top speeds. The measurement was conducted using the same Raptor-12HS system utilized at the Yonex Performance Innovation Center (Blue Lab). This was a valuable opportunity to experience the research equipment that is not currently open to the public and to see what kind of measurements are being conducted! ---[Yonex Co., Ltd.

Hello, this is the public relations department of KAITAKU Co., Ltd. in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture! Recently, our wooden lightweight hyper CLT sheet has been officially registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (NETIS number: TH-250021-A). The decisive difference between hyper CLT sheets and conventional temporary materials lies in the "exit" after their durability period ends. The hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A) is not discarded after its role on site is finished; instead, it is reused as chip fuel for biomass power generation. • Made: It is made from **wood (thinned timber)**, resulting in low environmental impact. • Used: It significantly contributes to reducing CO2 on site. • Converted to energy: Once its durability period is over, it becomes chip fuel for biomass power generation, ensuring that no resources are wasted. In this way, a **"complete circular" system** is established that connects materials to energy. Additionally, these initiatives can serve as a strong appeal for creativity related to construction performance. Please try the hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A)!

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

About a month ago, I took the Sanyo Electric Railway to the Hanshin Electric Railway express train from Himeji to Osaka on a Sunday. The important point here is that it was a "Sunday." The decisive difference from usual days is that there were "families" on board. I had somewhat anticipated this, but nowadays, almost 100% of parents are completely absorbed in their smartphones, ignoring their children who might be standing behind the driver's seat, shouting, or doing anything else. In fact, they even hand another smartphone to their child, effectively using it as a babysitter. At this rate, it's no wonder that these children will grow up to be adults with communication disorders.
