Enhancement of on-site management capabilities
We are engaged in problem-solving initiatives through locally-based activities, from production bases to product installation and maintenance at field sites, based on industrial engineering (IE).
We are also engaged in the technological development and implementation of tools and methods that utilize the application of AI and IoT for problem-solving.

Layout design and process design
Utilizing virtual 3D digital models of production lines, we are engaged in the short-term startup of high-efficiency production lines through simultaneous optimization of layout design and process design.
We are also engaged in the development of rapid 3D modeling of existing building interiors using 3D scanners and the development of parameter-searching methods that combine optimization methods and production simulation.
