The reason that company adopted NEXTAGE! ～～A handbook that engineers tackling production automation missions should read～

The introduction of the humanoid dual-arm robot "NEXTAGE" began in the assembly processes of automotive parts and electronic/electrical machinery, but in recent years it has expanded to include packaging of daily necessities and cosmetics, as well as testing processes for reagents. Currently, it has been adopted by over 100 companies in Japan. As such, "NEXTAGE" has been implemented by companies in various industries, but there is a common point among many of these companies, regardless of their industry. That is, they planned to "automate multiple tasks" and "replace human labor" through the introduction of NEXTAGE.

Achieving autonomous operation of an all-in-one dual-arm robot. Compact and compatible with aisles 80 cm wide.

"NEXTAGE Mobile" is a mobile robot that enables autonomous movement of the humanoid robot NEXTAGE. While retaining the features of NEXTAGE, it allows for tasks that involve moving between multiple locations and assisting with processes like water strider operations, further expanding its areas of application. When a person approaches within a certain distance, it slows down and stops, and automatically resumes when the person moves away, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries due to collisions. [Features] - Integration of the all-in-one robot NEXTAGE, equipped with dual arms and cameras, with an AGV - Adoption of a position identification method using a head-mounted camera, which is less affected by environmental factors - Ability to set movement and operations using the same software as NEXTAGE - Compact design that allows entry into narrow paths (compatible with a passage width of 80 cm) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.
