RX Japan Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Executive Officer: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the "11th Manufacturing World [Nagoya]," one of the largest exhibitions for the manufacturing industry in the Chubu region, for three days from April 8 (Wed) to 10 (Fri), 2026, at Port Messe Nagoya.
In February of this year, Aichi Prefecture formulated the "Aichi Economy and Labor Vision 2026-2030," which serves as a guideline for economic and labor policies over the next five years. Although the prefecture is one of Japan's leading manufacturing clusters, it clearly sets forth the acceleration of industrial transformation through innovation and digital technology, treating structural changes such as population decline and human resource shortages as an "unavoidable premise."
Particularly at frontline manufacturing sites, as there is a limit to the conventional response of simply "increasing personnel," interest is rapidly growing in technologies that work in place of people and systems that keep the workplace running even with a small number of people. In the prefecture's vision as well, the robotics industry and the utilization of digital technology are positioned as important pillars supporting future industrial competitiveness.
The 11th Manufacturing World [Nagoya], held in Nagoya from April 8 (Wed), allows visitors to experience the direction of these policies as actual technologies for manufacturing sites. Gathered at the venue will be automated transport robots being introduced against the backdrop of labor shortages, AI and digital technologies that automate inspections and operations, and visualization and labor-saving solutions that reduce the dependency on skilled workers' personal knowledge. All of these exhibits allow visitors to confirm with actual machines and demonstrations what kind of answers the frontline is trying to provide for the challenges indicated by the "Aichi Economy and Labor Vision."
Labor shortages are no longer a problem for only some companies or industries. What kind of changes and innovations are happening right now at the manufacturing sites in Aichi? Please come and see the frontline for yourself.
[Robot/Automation] A workplace that doesn't stop, moving in place of people
By supplementing human work and having robots handle transport, inspection, and auxiliary tasks, the creation of workplaces that do not stop even with a shortage of personnel is progressing.
