Paperlogic is an electronic contract service fully supervised by certified public accountants.

In addition to the execution of contracts, it also offers the functionality to send documents such as estimates and invoices with signature information and timestamps, as well as the digitization of board meeting minutes. We provide an electronic archive as a storage function. **Features** - Ability to differentiate between party-type signatures and witness-type signatures - Standard timestamp functionality - Compliance with the Electronic Books Preservation Act (acquisition of JIIMA certification for electronic transactions and scanner storage) - Supports the digitization of various documents, not just contracts, including estimates, orders, order confirmations, invoices, and receipts. *For more details, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.*

The signing methods for electronic contracts (party type and witness type) are directly linked to the strength of their legal effectiveness. In this article, we will outline the reasons why the more stringent "party type" has been difficult to popularize until now. ---【Conclusion of this article】-------------------------------- • There are two signing methods for electronic contracts: "witness type" and "party type," which differ in the strictness of identity verification. • The main reasons why the party type has not spread are the three factors of "effort, cost, and the structural risk of entrusting a private key." • However, with the spread of public personal authentication (JPKI) using My Number cards, these three barriers are beginning to crumble. -------------------------------------------------------- The full text of the article can be accessed from the "Related Links."

Seven Corporation has started offering the "SeveNavi AI Cleaning Diagnosis Service," which supports the organization and improvement of cleaning challenges in manufacturing environments. Organizing cleaning challenges with AI and visualizing the next steps In manufacturing cleaning, various factors need to be considered, including the material of the object, type of dirt, adhesion state, currently used cleaning agents, working time, safety, and equipment conditions. On the other hand, there are also several challenges faced on-site, such as: - Unable to determine if the current cleaning method is appropriate - Wanting to reduce cleaning time and labor - Concerns about the safety of cleaning agents and their impact on materials - Wanting to compare with another cleaning method but unable to set test conditions - Not being able to utilize past cases and knowledge for improvement activities SeveNavi organizes information such as the object, dirt, current cleaning methods, and site photos using AI, clearly presenting the applicability of cleaning methods, points of caution, missing information, and how to proceed with comparative testing. If you have any challenges regarding reviewing current cleaning methods, comparing new cleaning methods, or reducing cleaning time and labor, please feel free to consult with us.

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI
