We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "1st Manufacturing Innovation DXPO" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight on August 18 (Tuesday) and 19 (Wednesday), 2026. At this exhibition, we will conduct demonstrations using the actual "Time Prism" device. We will provide specific proposals that contribute to solving your company's challenges, including not only the promotion of DX in manufacturing sites but also ways to utilize the output data from the Time Prism with generative AI.

DX in the manufacturing industry is an important initiative to review existing operations and business models in order to create new value. However, it is not uncommon for DX itself to become the goal. In this training, you will experience "visualization" and "kaizen" in the manufacturing field using the work analysis software 'Time Prism' and the positional action analysis tool 'InQross Kaizen Maker', allowing you to envision specific ways to improve operations.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the Smart Factory EXPO. This time, we will be co-exhibiting with Musen Connect Co., Ltd., the manufacturer of the "InQross Kaizen Maker"! At the venue, you will be able to see the actual screens of: ● Work analysis and improvement tool "Time Prism" ● Position and motion analysis tool "InQross Kaizen Maker" This is a great opportunity to directly see specific use cases in the field, from video manual creation to work improvement and visualization. If you are interested in improving manufacturing sites or digital transformation (DX), please feel free to stop by! We sincerely look forward to your visit.

A brief introduction to the Time Prism in one minute.

This is a guide to basic operations.

At Nippon Seiko Giken, we will be holding a product demonstration using ZOOM titled "Time Prism WEB Demonstration." This product is a tool that supports the improvement of your workplace's efficiency, accommodating the creation of standard work procedures, skill transfer, and video manual output. By efficiently visualizing a series of tasks, it significantly contributes to initiating improvement activities. Since this is a web-based event, please feel free to participate. *Please apply using the participation form below. If you cannot open the URL, please contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the 15th Production System Visualization Exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight, INDUSTRY-FRONTIER. We will conduct demonstrations focusing on the core function of our work analysis software "TimePrism," which is the "work analysis function." Since the introduction will be hands-on, it will be easier to imagine the convenience and usability, and we will provide explanations one-on-one, allowing you to confirm any unclear points at your own pace during the demonstration. We understand that time may be limited on the day, so for those who show even a little interest, we will also provide information about free demonstrations and online seminars at a later date. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Nihon Seikou Giken Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "34th Design & Manufacturing Solutions Expo" held at Tokyo Big Sight. Are you facing challenges in improving productivity, reducing work hours, or passing on technical skills in your manufacturing operations? Our developed tool software "Time Prism" can be utilized to solve various issues. We can assist not only manufacturers but also logistics and warehousing companies, service providers, and the food service industry in addressing challenges in environments involving human interaction. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

This time the theme is "Tacit Knowledge" and "Explicit Knowledge" Part 2. Converting tasks that involve experience and intuition, which are considered "tacit knowledge," into "explicit knowledge" is quite challenging. To share and resonate with new employees or new personnel regarding work procedures and nuances, it is essential to communicate clearly and effectively through text and video. It is not just about showing a manual; as mentioned last time, showing both good and bad examples can deepen the understanding of key points.

Hello, my name is Sasaki from NAO Small and Medium Enterprise Consulting Office. I have about ten years of experience in production technology, VA/VE, and on-site improvements with parts manufacturers at an automotive company. To leverage these experiences, I became independent before retirement. Currently, I am based in Hiroshima and primarily support problem-solving for companies in the Chugoku region. This column, "Improvement Time Machine," is a collaboration with my improvement partner, Mr. Kuwahara from Dispro Co., Ltd., where we share various insights we have noticed in different workplaces and think together with the readers. We analyze challenges that arise on-site using Timeprism, moving back and forth between the past and present, and brainstorm improvement ideas that connect to the future. In the previous installment, I discussed the use of "differential information" to promote improvements in manufacturing sites. As a realistic "difference," I highlighted the gap between fast and slow workers and the differences in movements on identical equipment. This time, I would like to talk about utilizing "differences" when there are no specific comparative subjects, as mentioned above. For more details, please visit the Japan Seiko Giken page.

【Topics】 We have revamped the program used for video editing output in our work analysis software "Time Prism." This has improved stability during output and allowed for smoother utilization of output-related functions. 【What is Time Prism?】 Time Prism allows for work analysis through simple mouse operations while viewing video footage of tasks, enabling efficient visualization of work. It facilitates the discovery of issues, validation of waste reduction, and improvement simulations through various graph creations and side-by-side comparisons. Additionally, by outputting standard work with accompanying videos, it becomes easy to create video manuals. 【We have received a lot of feedback from users!】 "I was able to notice movements that were unnatural or different from the standard work instructions, leading to improvements." "The various graph displays make it easier to identify variations and bottlenecks." "In a case where we used comparative verification of on-site footage during internal training, we were able to introduce it to each factory." "The awareness of improvement at the worker level has increased, enhancing on-site capabilities and energizing the workplace." "The time taken to create video manuals has been reduced by 30% compared to when we used the previous video creation tool."
