NEC NEXSolutions will host the "Generating AI to Transform Manufacturing: New Production Management and Future Strategies" seminar online on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, from 13:00 to 14:00. An archive distribution is also planned from Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to Wednesday, March 31, 2027.

In today's era where "change" is the norm, are you facing many challenges such as supply chain disruptions, rising raw material costs, skilled labor shortages, on-site personalization, and delayed decision-making due to data fragmentation?

On the other hand, while expectations for Generative AI utilization are high, we hear voices hesitating to adopt it, saying, "We don't have learning data," or "We can't use it unless the data is clean."

This seminar will explain effective Generative AI utilization in manufacturing, focusing on small-start approaches with reduced data preparation costs, and the optimal role division between Generative AI and specialized systems.

Furthermore, we will introduce our next-generation production management system that supports these implementations. We will assist in solving your company's challenges and taking a confident step toward the future.

What You Will Gain from This Seminar

・ Realistic steps for AI adoption and data utilization in manufacturing sites to achieve results without aiming for perfection

・ Generative AI utilization approaches to break away from veteran dependence and pass down technology to the next generation

・ Concepts for optimal role division between systems and AI, and foundation building to maximize return on investment

【Lecture 1】Production Management Transformed by Generative AI ~ Overcoming Personalization and Data Fragmentation! Practical AI Utilization Techniques ~

・ Moving beyond the long-standing challenge of "personalization" in production management

Is the veteran's "intuition" becoming a black box? We will introduce an approach that realistically advances standardization and skills transfer through the collaboration of humans and AI, with Generative AI as the "strongest sparring partner."

・ Data Relation AI Utilization (Escaping the Mire of Cleansing and Normalization) Generative AI's inference capabilities will rapidly propose optimal hypotheses for linking disparate data. We will explain concrete methods to dramatically reduce data preparation costs and lead to decision-making support through small-start initiatives.

・ Decision-making Based on Scenarios/Options (Optimal Placement of AI and Systems) Have you ever returned to Excel after trying to use AI tools unsuccessfully? We will explain a next-generation decision-making process where Generative AI acts as the "scenario presenter," complex mathematical optimization is handled by "specialized systems," and humans make the final judgment.
