Announcement of a Free Webinar: A Highly Popular Seminar Where Sales Engineers Share Their On-Site Experiences "What is the Key to Visualizing Manufacturing Processes?!" (July 20)

Real-time monitoring and control of individual manufacturing steps, assembly units, and the quality of finished products is possible!

maXYmos NC is a system that uses Kistler's servo press to control, monitor, evaluate, and digitize the joining and pressing processes. It displays the relationship between displacement values and load values as waveforms. －＊ Features ＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－＊－ • Up to 128 independent judgment programs can be created • Each program can accommodate up to 10 different types of judgment criteria for online/offline use • Equipped with sequence control functions (sequencer) to ensure maximum flexibility • Achieves high-speed real-time communication with servo drives via the SERCOS III communication standard • Equipped with a rich variety of fieldbus interfaces for system control (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP) • Historical data for analyzing the causes of NG judgments for the last 500 cycles • Statistical processing and digitization of measurement results (Q-DAS, CSV, PDF, XML)

Anomaly detection in various processes. For example, by attaching a force sensor to the pressing machine, it can detect not only missing parts but even burrs on the side being pressed!

maXYmos TL is a unit that displays two interrelated measurements as waveforms on an X-Y diagram and monitors the manufacturing process based on those waveforms. It is also capable of displaying sensor signals as waveforms over time and monitoring based on those waveforms. maXYmos TL comes with numerous criteria (thresholds) for judgment, enabling in-process monitoring that caters to various manufacturing processes. 【Features】 - Built-in amplifiers for piezoelectric and strain gauge sensors - Supports encoder signals - Display and operation via a 10.4-inch touch panel color display - Offers many criteria (thresholds) for pass/fail judgment - Allows setting of up to 10 pass/fail criteria - Can connect up to 8 monitoring modules to a single display module - Compatible with CC-Link

[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations. [Lecture Items] 1. Job Hunting Sexual Harassment 2. Customer Harassment 3. Q&A

[Speaker] Mr. Itsuki Wakayama, Project General Manager, Technology Promotion Unit, Low Carbon Solutions Division, INPEX Corporation [Key Lecture Content] The greatest advantage of synthetic methane production through CO2 methanation technology is that it enables decarbonization without significant additions or modifications to all existing natural gas and city gas infrastructure. At INPEX, after two NEDO commissioned projects, we have been conducting the development of practical application technology with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h, one of the largest in the world, as a subsidized project by NEDO since the fiscal year 2021. By the fiscal year 2025, we aim to achieve the injection of synthetic methane produced during the demonstration operation of the test facility. This presentation will provide detailed information on the results of the NEDO project for the fiscal year 2025, including the current status of the latest test facilities. [Presentation Items] 1. INPEX's efforts towards net zero by 2050 2. Policy trends related to CO2 methanation 3. Challenges of CO2 methanation 4. Results of the NEDO practical application technology development project with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h for the fiscal year 2025 5. Future commercialization prospects and challenges 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Satoru Shimizu, President and CEO of Okunote Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Generative AI is not a "magic wand," but a "mirror" that reflects the questions of the user. In this lecture, based on my book "The 'Super' Planning Techniques Practiced by Competition Disruptors: Seven Creative Steps to Lead Winning Strategies with the 'Art of Questioning'," I will explain how to overcome the challenges of proposals being rejected, not moving forward within the company, and not being executed on-site through interactions with AI. I will introduce the entire process of planning, linking it with AI utilization, from question design to hypothesis destruction, structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective, forming internal consensus, managing execution, and turning reflections into assets. In the latter part of the workshop (exclusive to on-site participants), you will actually formulate questions and refine your dialogue with AI, taking home usable "art of questioning" techniques for tomorrow. [Lecture Items] 1. Orientation: AI is a "mirror," not a "magic wand." 2. Enhancing the precision of planning through "question design" and "hypothesis destruction." 3. Structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective to create "acceptable" proposals. 4. Forming consensus that transcends internal barriers. 5. Mechanisms that prevent execution from stopping and turning experiences into assets through reflection. 6. Habitualizing AI as a "partner" and the roles humans will take on in the AI era.
