The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will hold an event for the automotive-related industry titled "Mikata Project Mobility Innovation Forum - Transformation of Automotive Parts Suppliers and Creation of New Business Opportunities."

We will also conduct lectures on trends and technological developments in the automotive industry, and hold matching events aimed at facilitating inter-company exchanges across regions.

NEXTOPT will exhibit at booth A19-2 during "Factory Innovation Week 2025 (Generative AI World)" held at Port Messe Nagoya from October 29 (Wednesday) to 31 (Friday), 2025. At our booth, we will conduct live demonstrations of the "Factomate" series, which is specifically designed to solve challenges in manufacturing environments. You will have the opportunity to experience our production scheduling optimization AI "SHIFT" and our work analysis AI "TAKT." Additionally, we will provide information about our AI education services and consultation desk aimed at manufacturing professionals who are unsure about where to start with AI implementation. We will offer thorough support from practical AI utilization methods from a field perspective to the steps for implementation. Furthermore, we also provide coaching services for AI vendors to acquire manufacturing domain knowledge and mathematical optimization techniques. We invite you to experience practical solutions for manufacturing DX and AI utilization at booth A19-2. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

(This seminar will be held at "Factory Innovation Week 2025 (Generative AI World)" at Port Messe Nagoya from October 29 (Wednesday) to 31 (Friday), 2025.) While many companies are making significant investments in AI, research shows that 70% of them are failing to generate the expected ROI. Why do projects that focus solely on "AI implementation" continue to fall short of delivering the original business value, such as cost reduction and productivity improvement? This seminar aims to clarify the "strategic miscalculations" common to failed projects for executives and managers responsible for AI implementation decisions. Specifically, it will explain how "ambiguity of purpose," "overlooking hidden initial and operational costs," and "ambitious plans for company-wide deployment" can derail projects. Additionally, we will present successful case studies from multiple companies, offering principles for ensuring that AI investments lead to guaranteed returns through "small start strategies," "KPI setting," and "organizational theories that involve the field." We will provide you with the principles necessary to lead your company's AI investments to success.
