【About the company …】
【”Unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry” through technology】
In the manufacturing industry, which is said to be worth 180 trillion yen in Japan, many manufacturers and their supply partners have been constrained by a variety of reasons, including being too busy with quotation and management tasks, lacking sales capabilities, and lacking information and networks, and are unable to fully utilize their original development and technological capabilities.
The company’s mission is to unleash the potential of each company by resolving these constraints from various aspects.
In order to achieve this goal, we need to utilize technology mainly in areas that have not yet been digitized, so that all manufacturing companies, whether they are small town factories, large-scale manufacturers with a long history, or start-up companies just starting out, can utilize their strengths to shine and create a lot of new value. Why don’t you use your technology to achieve such a future?
【”Unleashing the Potential of the Manufacturing Industry” with Data Science】
In the manufacturing industry, there are still many tasks that are done manually. Tasks that require human judgment, such as reading drawings and estimating manufacturing costs, have been difficult to automate. However, the company has a lot of data generated in the process of ordering and manufacturing processes. The company believes that trying to create some kind of pattern for this data will lead to the improvement of the entire process of the manufacturing industry.
In addition, there must be a lot of other data in the manufacturing industry that has yet to be fully utilized. The reform of the manufacturing industry itself will surely start by making it easier to utilize various data through data science.
