In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.

Our company representative, Shibata, will be speaking as a lecturer at the "Mikata Project" AI Utilization Seminar for the automotive industry, hosted by the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. ■ Title: AI Implementation Course Leading to Results - Learning Success Patterns and Practical Processes from Real Examples in Manufacturing Sites "We implemented AI, but it is not being used on-site and is left unattended" and "The implementation has become the goal without yielding results" - we have seen many such stumbling blocks in manufacturing sites. In the seminar, based on real examples, we will discuss common patterns for successful implementation that lead to results, pitfalls to avoid, and practical processes to ensure AI is continuously used. We will also propose specific measures for sites struggling with technology transfer and dependency on individuals. ■ Event Overview Date: July 3, 2026 (Friday) 13:30 - 16:00 Venue: TKP Meitetsu Nagoya Station Conference Center + Online Participation Fee: Free / Application Deadline: June 30 (Tuesday) Organizer: Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (Automotive Industry "Mikata Project") Co-presenter: Satoru Hayami, Waseda University For details and registration, please visit the official page of the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry.

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." At this event, we will showcase examples of suppliers who have actively engaged in challenges for their own growth through the "Mikata Project," which started in the fiscal year 2022, as well as award them. 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 Corporation will exhibit at the "Mikata Project Mobility Innovation Forum" hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. We are a professional engineering group specializing in AI products for the manufacturing industry. Just two months after our establishment in 2025, we began transactions with Aisin Corporation, and our overwhelming technical capabilities and on-site implementation skills have been highly evaluated by industry top runners. At this exhibition, we will introduce three next-generation solutions that transform "production management from cost to the strongest competitive advantage." ■ Exhibition Solutions 1. Real-time Production and Personnel Planning Scheduler: Achieves immediate updates based on personnel allocation according to skills and progress of processes. 2. Automated Manual Creation and Work Analysis AI: Enables labor analysis with one click from camera footage. It addresses the challenges of technical inheritance. 3. Predictive Maintenance and Safety Management AI: Instantly detects dangerous behaviors and equipment anomalies. It operates on a mini PC, making implementation easy. With strategically data-driven production management, we bring unwavering competitive advantage to the field. Please be sure to visit our booth.
