In the field of research and development for food and health foods, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: • Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. • While they collect information from academic conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. • They remain limited to competing similar products or follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. • Although there are nascent ideas, they struggle to elevate these to scientific hypotheses and to build the necessary evidence for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges, combining hypothesis generation through discovery-oriented paper exploration AI with trial implementation and risk assessment based on insights from human trials in food research. Specifically, we will start from our own materials and existing research to identify hypotheses related to functionality expansion that are not easily visible through keyword searches, and examine whether these hypotheses can be connected to human trials and implemented as research plans. This will allow us to redefine the potential of existing materials as "next value" and translate them into scientifically verifiable research themes, thereby providing a pathway for functional development and differentiation.

We will hold the "4DKanKan Next Akiba'26" conference. 4DKanKan is a digital twin platform that automatically generates 16K ultra-high-definition panoramic images, high-density point cloud data, and 3D models simply by walking around the site with a dedicated device. It accurately digitizes the "now" of the site across a wide range of fields, including construction, infrastructure, real estate, cultural heritage, and smart cities. We will introduce advanced technologies and various industry use cases. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

― The Definitive Difference Between "Implementations That Cause Chaos on the Ground" and "Implementations That Skyrocket Productivity," and Key Points for Utilizing Subsidies ― "Introducing robots will resolve the labor shortage on-site and dramatically increase productivity" — many companies are taking the plunge into the implementation of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) with this expectation. However, the reality often contradicts these hopes, leading to cases where "tasks have become more complicated" or "constant error stops require human oversight." Why do some sites achieve overwhelming results with high-functioning robots while others end in failure? Merely considering catalog specifications and superficial functions will not help avoid this "trap." To achieve true productivity improvement, there exists an "absolute principle" that must be firmly grasped before implementation. In this seminar, logistics professionals who have solved numerous on-site challenges will unravel actual "failure cases" and clarify the definitive "boundary line" that separates successful AMR implementations from unsuccessful ones. Additionally, we will introduce the autonomous mobile robot "Logiler Move" from Cios. Furthermore, we will present subsidies available for use in this fiscal year.

– Exploring new approaches to employee benefit design through the concept of the “Third Wage Increase” and points exchangeable for electronic money – Kort Valuta will host a webinar for HR professionals and business leaders focused on employee benefit strategies and flexible incentive design utilizing points exchangeable for electronic money. As inflation and labor shortages continue to impact businesses, this webinar will explore new approaches to employee engagement and retention under the concept of the “Third Wage Increase.” The session will introduce practical ideas for designing employee-focused initiatives utilizing points exchangeable for electronic money, including: Using awarded points and self-charged balances as electronic money in daily life Flexible usage not restricted by time or location Broader usability beyond meal subsidies, including daily necessities and other spending categories Flexible point program design aligned with company policies and engagement objectives The webinar will also discuss how these initiatives can help improve employee satisfaction while reducing operational burden and supporting a greater sense of practical financial value for employees.

D-Link Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa, Tokyo; Chairman and President: Kazui Chou; hereinafter referred to as D-Link) will exhibit at the trade show "Interop Tokyo 2026" organized by the Interop Tokyo Executive Committee. At the D-Link booth, we will showcase products that enable high-speed and stable communication, which are essential in the upcoming era of accelerated AI utilization. In addition to broadband switches such as a 10G stackable switch with 100G uplink support, we will introduce highly manageable multi-gigabit switches compatible with CLI. We will also propose efficient network operation management through our cloud/on-premise management solution "Nuclias," which allows centralized management of multiple network devices. A demonstration will be included to explain how to operate Wi-Fi 7/Wi-Fi 6E access points from Nuclias. Additionally, we plan to exhibit products scheduled for future release, such as "4G/5G M2M products" that can be managed through the M2M device management service "D-ECS Cloud," aimed at industrial applications like factories, stores, and in-vehicle systems. ■Exhibition Booth Exhibition Hall 5, Booth Number: 5D20
