It has been decided that Mr. Ukibe, CEO of Smart Craft, will speak at the special lecture titled 'Japanese-style Manufacturing DX: Leveraging the World's Best Frontline Expertise,' which will take place on Thursday, May 21, during the 'Industrial DX Exhibition 2026 Spring Osaka' (held from May 20 to 22 at INTEX Osaka).
In this seminar, three representatives from startups active in the Manufacturing DX Association will discuss truly meaningful manufacturing DX based on a deep understanding of the production floor. They will talk about human-centric DX and the success factors of DX while showcasing specific services.
Conference Overview
After a year of discussion, we have reached the conclusion that 'Japanese-style manufacturing DX is undoubtedly human-centric DX.'
The key transformation keywords are: 'Frontline Scientists,' 'Top-down and Bottom-up Transformation,' 'Usable Digital,' and 'Loosely Coupled Systems.' Further details are available on the association's website and white paper.
Regarding the use of generative AI, we do not aim for simple 'fully automated factories.' In Japan, where frontline expertise is high, 'Human x AI' is the optimal solution. Our vision for the future is where people remain at the center, and their capabilities are expanded tenfold through AI.
We look forward to seeing you at the venue.
