Production management system TECHS-BK for multi-variety small-lot parts processing industry.

Technoa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Koji Yamazaki) will hold a limited-time summer special event, "Monozukuri DX CAMP," from Saturday, August 9, 2025, to Saturday, August 23, 2025. Small and medium-sized manufacturing companies face challenges such as a shortage of specialized personnel and a lack of know-how and information, which act as barriers to promoting DX (digital transformation). This event will provide a step-by-step approach to "realistic DX," based on the know-how accumulated by Technoa while supporting the DX transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. It will be structured as DAY.1 to DAY.5, offering an opportunity for skill development during the summer break and supporting the learning and growth of small and medium-sized manufacturers.

Nice to meet you. My name is Kazuyoshi Takayama from Technoa Co., Ltd. Before joining Technoa, I worked at a specialized trading company for machine tools, where I proposed production equipment such as machine tools and industrial robots to small and medium-sized manufacturers. Currently, I am also proposing mainly production management solutions like TECHS to small and medium-sized manufacturers. In my previous job, while working with small and medium-sized manufacturers, I often heard that they wanted to utilize government and local subsidies when making capital investments. I personally provided support for subsidy applications in my previous job and have seen companies that successfully utilized subsidies for their capital investments. Based on that experience, I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing subsidies when making capital investments. Table of Contents 1. Representative Subsidies 2. Advantages of Subsidies 3. Disadvantages of Subsidies 4. Conclusion *Please see "Related Links" for more information.

【The punchline is thought up by AI】 A new "AI Challenge Award" has been established for the "5th Monozukuri Oogiri Grand Prix"! Was that punchline created by AI? Or was it you? ■ Background of the establishment The theme of the ongoing "Monozukuri Oogiri GP," "reskilling," refers to the process of relearning the knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to new jobs and tasks. In today's rapidly changing business environment, not only is the retraining of skills required, but also the acquisition and utilization of new technologies as they emerge. In recent years, "generative AI" has rapidly gained popularity and is being recognized as an essential skill for future work. Given the theme of "reskilling" and the growing interest in generative AI, we have established the new "AI Challenge Award" to highlight the unique ideas generated by AI. The judging for the "AI Challenge Award" will be conducted by the Oogiri judging AI developed in-house. *For more details, please refer to the related links.
