Marubun Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroshi Horikoshi), an electronics trading company, will exhibit at the "2nd Kansai Smart Factory EXPO" to be held at INTEX Osaka from Wednesday, May 13 to Friday, May 15, 2026.
At this exhibition, under the theme of "Connect, Visualize, and Use" DX solutions and "Simpler and Closer" AI solutions, we will support the realization of DX at our customers' manufacturing sites.
We will propose AI solutions that address on-site challenges, such as business improvement solutions based on an IoT platform that enables collaboration with a wide variety of equipment and applications, and process management and visual inspection using real-time work monitoring with edge AI cameras.
[Overview of the 2nd Kansai Smart Factory EXPO]
Dates: May 13 (Wed) – 15 (Fri), 2026
Hours: 10:00 – 17:00
Venue: INTEX Osaka
Organizer: RX Japan Ltd.
Booth Number: No. K44-32

[Exhibition Highlights]
- IoT Platform for Programless Factory Data Integration
Denso Wave's "IoT Data Share" supports over 270 protocols, enabling programless collection of site data. It connects equipment to applications, equipment to equipment, and application to application, facilitating smooth data integration with databases, core systems, and cloud apps.
- Inventory Location Management System Linked to Location Data
This system automates inventory updates by registering storage locations during receiving and displaying locations on pick lists during shipping, significantly reducing search time. It supports weight management and can be retrofitted to existing systems.
- Automated Material Delivery with Mobile Robots (AMR)
Using SoftBank Robotics' PUDU T300, we automate last-mile delivery. The PUDU T300, with a 300kg payload and 60cm width capability, navigates narrow paths and can link with elevators and automatic doors using VSLAM, LiDAR, and 3D cameras.
- Process Monitoring System with Edge AI Cameras
Enables no-code creation of work management flows using edge AI cameras and work judgment AI, reducing server load and eliminating the need for programming or AI model development expertise.
- AI Visual Inspection Solutions
Addressing issues with manual inspection and rule-based over-detection, Cross Compass's AI visual inspection reduces complex re-inspections and improves yields, supporting technical succession from experts.
- AMR Safety Alert Solutions
Introduces solutions to enhance safety on AMR transport routes. Sensors detect AMR movement and use projectors to alert personnel, preventing accidents.
- Projection-type Input System (Non-contact terminal solutions)
Introduces non-contact operation terminals suitable for industries such as steel manufacturing.
