[Expert Warning] Common Challenges Facing Japan's Manufacturing Industry

Is the artisan's skill becoming a hindrance instead? What is the critical reality of Japan's manufacturing, which continues to rely on "brute force" on-site? Presentation of explanatory materials.

Japan's manufacturing industry boasts world-renowned craftsmanship, but it faces a serious common challenge: the slow development of IT infrastructure and the digitalization of on-site operations. There is a growing sense of crisis across the industry that if things continue this way, Japan's manufacturing will become unsustainable. In many manufacturing sites, paper records are still in use, and traceability and the collection of manufacturing data heavily rely on manual labor, placing a significant burden on the workforce. Moreover, because the workforce is highly skilled, factories continue to operate through sheer effort without digitalization, leading to a vicious cycle where management fails to grasp the critical realities, resulting in delayed responses. The complexity of the processes from design to manufacturing is also a common challenge for Japan's manufacturing industry. Due to the lack of proper integration among E-BOM, M-BOM, and BOP, managing data during design changes requires considerable effort. *Download detailed materials now on why PTC products are the key to saving Japan's manufacturing industry.
