Challenges Facing Japan's Manufacturing Industry
Japan's manufacturing industry has long achieved highly competitive manufacturing through shop-floor-driven improvement activities. However, against the backdrop of labor shortages and other factors, these shop-floor-driven initiatives are now facing pressure to transform, and cross-departmental information sharing together with improvement approaches optimized for the whole organization will be increasingly required.
PLM and AI
To achieve improvements optimized for the whole organization, establishing the BOM (Bill of Materials) as master data and adopting the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) approach are essential. Moreover, the value of PLM will be further unlocked in the future by generative AI, which excels at data structuring and data analysis.

Airion Inc. will work closely with leading experts, including Monozukuri Taro, to strongly promote the adoption of PLM and the transformation of the manufacturing industry through AI.
We look forward to your continued support.
