The mission of protecting the manufacturing industry from the severe social issue of the decreasing worker population

The decreasing birthrate is one major social issue in Japan, and the country is rapidly becoming a globally unprecedented society with a decreasing birthrate and an aging population. The impact of those changes has also reached Japanese industry in the form of a decreasing worker population. In particular, the shortage of engineers is becoming a major issue that is standing in the way of the manufacturing industry. The Company and Customers are working together with Issues to strengthen automation /IoT solutions by defining areas such as robotics and automation /IoT, which we have been working on for some time, as priority measures in Electronics Solutions・Company 2025 medium-term Management program launched in 2021 Years.

The potential of automation solutions is not only to solve the labor shortage

Launch with an eye to resolving labor shortages and improving productivity. As we develop and propose portable robot systems utilizing industrial robots and sensors, we realize that our solutions can meet many demands, including mass customization, as they are highly regarded for their ability to reconfigure lines with short delivery times and at low cost.

In recent years, with the diversification of needs, manufacturing sites have demanded variable quantity production. This required the construction of flexible and highly productive systems. This matched The Company's automation solutions, including industrial portable robots. According to one survey forecast, the market for robotics for the manufacturing industry in 2028 Years is estimated to expand from approximately 1.3 trillion Yen in the 2023 Years to approximately 2.2 trillion Yen in the 1,6 Times range. This solution, which can also contribute to improving quality, traceability, and stability, is expected to be high both internally and externally.

Shift from automation solutions to total solutions with Collaboration that transcends business divisions

Since it has such potential, many competitors have naturally entered the market. However, I am confident that we can continue to provide The Company's unique solutions even within this category. First of all, The Company has the knowledge and credibility that we have accumulated since Founded of 1907 Years. Who is in trouble at the manufacturing site, what is it, and how much is it? We have a real need to grasp precisely because we have moved forward as a partner that is closest to us. Another strength of The Company is that it has many businesses. Collaboration by various divisions enables us to monitor and predict facilities using video management systems and sensing Technology, improve productivity by analyzing operations, and propose ways to reduce energy consumption and create energy at manufacturing sites to zero-energy. Going forward, we will continue to contribute to enhancing Customers's corporate value, evolving into a Electronics Solutions Company, and solving Social Issues by proposing total solutions that go beyond mere automation, precisely because of The Company Group.
