[Exhibits]
We will showcase AI for generating and interpreting PLC ladder programs, together with physical AI for robot control.
Under the theme of adding intelligence to machinery and equipment in the Factory Automation (FA) domain,
we will introduce Airion's solutions for realizing the next-generation smart factory.

▼Ladder Seisei-kun (ladder program generation)▼
AI assists in creating ladder programs
Register your existing templates, then enter natural-language instructions and I/O information.
The AI supports ladder program generation, eliminating the need to build from scratch.
Quality is standardized, and the shortage of ladder engineers is resolved.
It works with any PLC manufacturer and can be customized to each company's coding standards.
▼Ladder Kaidoku-kun (ladder program interpretation)▼
Summaries and flowcharts make ladder programs readable by anyone
The AI reads a ladder program, explains and summarizes its content, and converts it into a flowchart and other formats.
The AI also answers questions about the content it has read.
This makes it possible to understand the control logic of your equipment.
Interpretation works regardless of the PLC manufacturer.
▼Gino Keisho-kun (skill transfer AI)▼
AI interviews veteran engineers, turning vanishing know-how into an asset
Veteran engineers approaching retirement talk with the AI by voice, and their tacit knowledge is automatically structured into causes and countermeasures.
Existing data such as manuals, past trouble records, and equipment specifications can also be registered for comprehensive knowledge search.
When a junior engineer's question reveals a gap, the AI detects it and proactively interviews the veteran.
The structured data can also be reused for equipment maintenance.
▼Ladder Kenzu-kun (ladder program review)▼
AI automatically reviews ladder programs for defects
The AI checks ladder programs automatically.
It detects defects that are easily missed by manual review, such as duplicated coils and missing interlocks,
and points out where corrections are needed, reducing review hours and preventing oversights.
Both ladder-driven troubles and verification hours are reduced at the same time.
▼Ladder Rireki Kanri-kun (ladder change history management)▼
Close the gap between the shop floor and design, with change history managed in one place
Changes to ladder programs are recorded automatically, and differences are visualized at a glance.
Think of it as GitHub for OT, where the rationale for changes can be left as comments.
The latest version and the reason for each change are clear, enabling rapid recovery when trouble occurs.
▼Ladder Hozen Shien-kun (maintenance support)▼
AI supports the recovery of stopped equipment by drawing on past cases
The status of all equipment is shown on a dashboard, and when equipment trouble occurs,
the AI reads PLC error data and on-site conditions, then searches past maintenance records and similar cases.
It indicates what caused the problem and where to look, helping to shorten recovery time.
It can also link with the knowledge database of Gino Keisho-kun.
Please stop by the Airion booth at the venue.
