A case study on the use of NEXTAGE for the full automation of the maintenance parts warehouse! We will share real feedback from our users.

The humanoid robot "NEXTAGE" has been introduced in various manufacturing sites since its launch, expanding its areas of activity. This time, we visited the site of Makino Technical Service Co., Ltd., which has implemented NEXTAGE and built a picking system using robots. We will share the sight of NEXTAGE at work and the voices of those who have constructed this process and are working alongside NEXTAGE!

A document that includes links to instructional videos for picking, inspection, assembly, screw tightening, and packing.

"NEXTAGE" is a dual-arm robot developed under the concept of "a humanoid robot that works alongside people," aimed at ensuring safety in manufacturing environments and improving productivity. Since its launch, it has been adopted by companies across a wide range of industries, including electronics, electronic components, and more, successfully automating tasks that previously required human labor, such as assembly, inspection, and packaging. We have received numerous inquiries such as, "What specific tasks can it perform?" and "I would like to know some examples." To help you understand the implementation and work image, we have prepared a "case study collection" that summarizes the tasks that this product excels at and links to videos of implementation examples. [Contents (excerpt)] - Picking in logistics warehouses - Automation of visual inspection tasks - Screw tightening - Labeling - Box packing - Automated driving integrated with AGV - Packaging box assembly and packing (new applications using NEXTAGE) *You can view detailed information immediately by downloading the PDF.

We provide intuitive operation and standard software that allows for functional expansion!

NEXTAGE comes standard with its proprietary software "NxProduction," which is used for operation, teaching, and production. Teaching with NxProduction can be intuitively operated through a graphical interface, making it easy for on-site operators to make modifications and adjustments. The teaching is conducted in a "workflow" format, where teaching points, visual processing, and external input/output (I/O) are registered in a table on the GUI according to the planned work procedures, allowing for easy creation of tasks incorporating image processing without programming skills. As after-sales service for our customers, we also offer various support services such as NEXTAGE training sessions and online support. We will assist customers in maximizing their use of NEXTAGE even after purchase.

The humanoid collaborative robot "NEXTAGE" has been adopted for an automated appearance inspection application powered by AI provided by Kanematsu Corporation!

In recent years, to realize the automation of "visual inspection," which has been requested by many industries and companies, Kanematsu Corporation has started providing visual inspection services using the AI-based image inspection service "AIPENET." Among these, the humanoid robot "NEXTAGE," known for its high versatility in performing tasks related to visual inspection, has been adopted as a robot to carry out the preceding and subsequent tasks, creating an application that automates both visual inspection and related tasks in one go. Kanematsu Corporation offers a subscription plan called "Marugoto Subscription Plan," which provides the necessary AI (visual inspection service) and hardware (robot) for the entire automation process of visual inspection in a bundled subscription format, significantly reducing initial costs and allowing for immediate operational deployment. Furthermore, Kanematsu Corporation is currently running a limited-time free PoC campaign for "AIPENET." Please feel free to consult with us during this opportunity. <By automating visual inspection, we solve the following issues!> - Quality is unstable due to operator errors - Reliance on operators' intuition and skills - Difficulty in securing operators - Time-consuming training for operators

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
