NX Research Institute and Zenrin Datacom will co-host a webinar focused on logistics DX (Digital Transformation) in "transportation." DX promotion is rapidly advancing in transportation, including aspects such as checking delivery status and managing labor hours, including drivers' waiting times. In this webinar, we will discuss the theme of "visualization," taking into account the points required by shippers and logistics operators, and introduce DX initiatives utilizing smartphones and future measures. If you are interested in business improvement using DX, please take this opportunity to participate. Details and registration: https://www.nx-soken.co.jp/seminar/seminar_20250509_online

Forklifts are used in factories and logistics warehouses to handle and transport large cargo and pallets that cannot be managed manually. However, have site managers ever noticed that there are forklifts that are not in operation when they look over the site? When seeing such a situation, many people may wonder, "Is the current number really necessary?" or "Wouldn't it be okay to reduce the number a bit?" Generally, with standard forklifts, one can only check the operating hours using an hour meter, and cannot grasp the operational status by time segment, the areas traveled, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. In this free online seminar, we will introduce a case study that utilizes the "Rojitan Fork" system, which leverages Visual Slam, to understand the movement patterns and utilization rates of forklifts and to work on reducing their numbers.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation), which allows software on computers to perform routine tasks that involve repeating the same operations in office work, is a convenient and low-cost way to start digital transformation (DX), and many companies are adopting it. In logistics office work, RPA can be implemented to reduce work time in various daily routine tasks such as importing shipping instruction data into the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and checking the progress of transportation. However, to successfully improve operational efficiency with RPA, careful prior work analysis is essential. It is necessary to prioritize and select tasks that can be automated, as well as to review existing workflows and systems as part of the preparation. This webinar is co-hosted by NX Research Institute, a consulting group specializing in logistics, and Stellarink, which provides unique RPA and AI-OCR solutions. It will provide detailed information on supporting the introduction of RPA in logistics office work, case studies, and tips for successfully implementing RPA. 1. How should the introduction of RPA in logistics office work be advanced? 2. Let's correctly understand RPA! Aim for increased productivity and depersonalization!

The decrease in the labor force and the aging population are causing a shortage of human resources in many industries, and the efficiency and labor-saving achieved through automation have become essential elements for enhancing corporate competitiveness. However, the introduction of automation equipment can incur significant costs, leading many companies to wonder, "What kind of automation should we pursue?" In our company, we have seen an increase in consulting requests for support in the introduction of automation equipment such as automated warehouses, AMRs, and AGVs in recent years. In this webinar, we will introduce some of these case studies. If you are interested in the latest logistics technology and the automation and labor-saving of logistics operations, we invite you to participate in this opportunity.
