Solving Manufacturing Floor Challenges with DX: TD Holdings and Hojyokin Portal Co-Host Free Online Webinar for the Chugoku-Shikoku Region on July 2, 2026

Hojyokin Portal Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akiji Fukui; hereinafter 'Hojyokin Portal') will co-host a free online webinar titled 'Manufacturing DX Webinar: Solve These Pain Points with DX!' with TD Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture; hereinafter 'TD Holdings') for manufacturing companies in the Chugoku-Shikoku region. The event will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, starting at 14:00.

In manufacturing sites, challenges directly impacting daily production—such as labor shortages, standardization of knowledge-dependent tasks, and re-evaluation of analog processes centered on paper and spreadsheet software—are becoming increasingly complex. This webinar will position DX as a practical improvement tool usable on the shop floor, introducing real-world examples and the latest information easily applicable even for small and medium-sized manufacturers.

The event will feature clear explanations of 'Production Simulation,' which uses digital twin technology to improve the accuracy of decisions regarding equipment investment and production planning, and an AI-powered 'Production Platform' that centralizes information from sales to shipping. Additionally, subsidies that manufacturers should consider utilizing in fiscal year 2026 will be explained from both national and regional perspectives.

Background

In the manufacturing industry, the increasing demand for small-lot, multi-variety production and shorter delivery times has heightened the complexity of production planning and process management. Chronic labor shortages and a decline in skilled workers are increasing individual workloads, making it increasingly difficult to maintain on-site responsiveness and productivity. At the same time, many companies face challenges such as decision-making and management being dependent on specific individuals, insufficient information sharing between processes, and the inability to conduct necessary simulations for equipment investment decisions.

For these challenges, DX is not merely about system implementation but an effective means to visualize on-site decisions, eliminate knowledge silos, balance workloads, and accelerate improvement cycles. This webinar will combine TD Holdings’ expertise in manufacturing DX with Hojyokin Portal’s knowledge of subsidies and grants to deliver practical information that can be applied starting tomorrow.
