Yuji Nakayama on “AI in Practice: A Showcase of Real Automation Cases”
Kanto Branch Manager Yuji Nakayama presented “AI in Practice: A Showcase of Real Automation Cases,” introducing AI automation that is actually running inside companies today.
Water X Technologies supports the systematization of business operations using generative AI, from planning through implementation and ongoing operation. Rather than simply introducing tools, we help design which operations to automate, and how far, so that automation translates into profit.
Looking Ahead
Working with the specialist network of the newly incorporated JPROS, we are building a structure that can respond in one place not only to AI adoption but also to adjacent challenges such as web marketing, human resources, organizational development and subsidy utilization. If you face management challenges in manufacturing, please feel free to contact us.
