The reason why labor-saving, rather than labor-reduction, is necessary from now on.

[Towards Automation] Based on the automation achievements of the past few years, I believe that moving forward, we need to focus on labor-saving rather than just reducing the workforce. (Are you too focused on reducing the workforce?)

In the manufacturing industry, the terms "labor-saving" and "efficiency improvement" are often heard. While they can have similar meanings, the difference between [labor] and [effort] lies in the focus of the terms. "Effort" refers to the time and labor involved, and the goal is to reassess processes to achieve results with less effort, rather than completely replacing the entire process with robots or other machinery. For example, a reassessment might lead to reducing the workforce from three people to two. Recently, various exhibitions and videos have showcased the latest equipment, robots, and AI, but there are cases where companies give up or struggle to progress due to reasons such as: - A high number of tasks performed by humans - A large variety of products with different shapes (small quantities of many types) - Low daily production volumes In such cases, there have been instances where progress was made by systematically reviewing tasks (exploring common actions that can be performed by robots, reassessing jigs, palletizing, using AI cameras, etc.) to achieve [labor-saving]. In the future, automation of "small quantities of many types" products will be unavoidable.
