TOPPAN to Exhibit at the 4th Manufacturing DX Expo [Tokyo]

TOPPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Haruhiko Noguchi), a group company of TOPPAN Holdings Inc., will exhibit at the 4th Manufacturing DX Expo [Tokyo] (within the 38th Manufacturing World [Tokyo], venue: Tokyo Big Sight) to be held from Wednesday, July 1 to Friday, July 3, 2026.

This exhibition showcases IT products and services that promote DX on manufacturing floors and in factories. At the TOPPAN booth (West 3 Hall, Booth No. W19-10), under the theme "Realizing the Next-Generation Workplace that Doesn't Rely on Manual Labor through ID Management," the company will introduce solutions that contribute to the autonomy of manufacturing sites and advanced product data management.

■ Main Exhibits

・IoT/RFID Solutions Supporting Factory Autonomy and Labor Saving

As a solution to support the autonomy and labor saving of manufacturing sites, TOPPAN will introduce product inventory and maintenance inspections using Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) equipped with RFID functions. The company will also exhibit services that realize on-site visualization, such as the integrated manufacturing DX solution "NAVINECT®" and the transport container location management system "LogiViewer®," along with implementation case studies. These solutions help build a sustainable production system that does not depend on manual labor.

・Advanced Data Management with a Logistics Supply Chain Management System

TOPPAN provides Japan's first supply chain management system that can share product status data, such as temperature acquired by sensors during logistics, in compliance with the international standard specification "EPCIS 2.0" (*1). This system enables advanced data management that also complies with international regulations related to the Digital Product Passport (DPP) (*2) being introduced in Europe. At this exhibition, the company will demonstrate the receiving and shipping of products using RFID-tagged items and readers. The demonstration will show the entire process where read product information is instantly reflected and shared on the system screen based on the international standard "EPCIS 2.0."

・Authenticity Verification Solution Using Traceability and Holograms

TOPPAN will introduce implementation case studies of an authenticity verification solution that combines the traceability system "ID-NEX®," which manages product history from production to distribution, with holograms. Looking ahead to the future introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), this solution supports the construction of an advanced management system that not only protects against counterfeit products through authenticity verification but also safeguards corporate trust through supply chain transparency.

・Examples of Electronic Paper Use in Manufacturing

TOPPAN will introduce solutions that realize paperless manufacturing sites and improve operational efficiency by using electronic paper, whose display content can be freely rewritten, along with implementation examples. By reducing the man-hours required for printing and replacing paper instructions, the company promotes on-site DX in the manufacturing industry and supports the construction of efficient site operations.

*1 EPCIS 2.0: The latest version of "EPCIS," the only international standard specification for visualizing supply chains by sharing and exchanging information about the movement of goods, established by the international organization for supply chain standards, "GS1." It defines (1) the format of visualization data and (2) the interface for acquiring and sharing visualization data. By adopting the EPCIS standard and sharing data in a form that can be commonly understood by stakeholders in the supply chain, it is possible to visualize manufacturing, shipping, receiving, and sales processes.

TOPPAN provides Japan's first supply chain management system that can share information on the condition of goods acquired by sensors, such as temperature data during transport, in accordance with the international standard specification for supply chain visualization, "EPCIS 2.0."

*2 Digital Product Passport (DPP): A system for recording information from product production to disposal as digital data, which is being introduced mainly in Europe. Under EU regulations, all products in specific product categories sold on the European market will be subject to this system, allowing consumers to check product authenticity and sustainability information, and contributing to increased transparency across the entire supply chain. In the textile (fiber products and apparel) sector, introduction is scheduled from 2027, and it is expected to expand to various product categories, including cosmetics and perfumes, around 2030.
