July 28 (Friday) 13:10 - Seminar on Streamlining 3D Design Without Rework

From design to manufacturing. How to transform "monozukuri" with seamless data integration.

The manufacturing industry in New Japan has not been able to achieve true "productivity improvement" for decades. Additionally, it has not been able to solve issues such as "early talent development" and "skill inheritance." We believe that if things continue this way, not only will we be unable to compete with the world, but we will also be left behind. Even with the introduction of 3D CAD and CAM, which should enable "productivity improvement," why is there no change? We would like to share our thoughts at Kodama on the problems faced by Japan's manufacturing industry and how we should confront these issues. At Kodama, as a CAD/CAM vendor for over 30 years, we have been supporting our customers in achieving optimal factory management. We have also introduced 5-axis and multi-tasking machines and have been operating a prototype factory for 10 years. From this experience, we discuss how everyone can maximize the use of CAD/CAM to create a new manufacturing system that is profitable and free of rework.

In the field of food and health food research and development, 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 are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations 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. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.

Fujikohsuhou Industrial Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Tips for Setting Laser Hardening Conditions" on July 20, 2025 (Wednesday). In laser hardening, factors such as output and speed are related to the quality of hardening. We will explain how output and speed are connected to quality factors. This seminar is aimed at those who are looking to start utilizing laser hardening. 【Recommended for】 ■ Those who want to learn about methods for setting laser hardening conditions ■ Those who want to obtain technical information about laser hardening

Take the 'first step' in DX talent development in Fukuoka. We will hold a free seminar where you can learn reskilling strategies that can be applied in the field through case studies and experiences! 'I've become responsible for DX, but I don't know where to start.' This is a participatory seminar aimed at representatives from small and medium-sized enterprises in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, where you can learn the 'first steps' in DX talent development and implementation support. While introducing case studies of representative DX tools such as Power Automate and Power BI, you will experience hands-on sessions with Copilot, allowing you to grasp practical small-start methods that can be implemented on-site. The content also includes specific success stories from the Fukuoka region, along with tips for promoting understanding and advancement within your organization.

We will be exhibiting at INCHEM TOKYO 2025, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 17 (Wednesday) to September 19 (Friday). This time, we will host many events, including special project stages and mini-seminars. At our booth, we will introduce our solutions and technologies based on the theme of "Sustainable Plant Engineering" from three different concepts. Please be sure to stop by our booth, East Hall 6, K-17.
