Canon's New Manufacturing Solutions to Enhance Digital Transformation in SMEs

Canon Expands IT DX Series with New Manufacturing Solutions

Canon Systems & Support, a part of Canon Marketing Japan Group, is set to broaden its IT DX Series by introducing a new "Manufacturing Solutions" option, starting from September 26, 2025. This initiative aims to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector by analyzing and visualizing skilled craftsmanship, thereby promoting effective skill inheritance and contributing to sustainable growth in manufacturing environments.

According to the 2025 Manufacturing White Paper, digital transformation (DX) is recognized as a crucial effort to enhance industrial competitiveness. It plays a role in improving the profitability of manufacturing entities and promoting green transformation (GX). As companies strive to adapt to changes and elevate their competitive edge and corporate value, the importance of implementing DX is increasingly apparent.

Unfortunately, many SMEs in the manufacturing sector currently lack the necessary personnel and organizational structures to advance DX effectively, which presents a significant obstacle. Moreover, issues surrounding labor shortages and the challenges of transferring experienced skills have made it tough to ensure the sustainability of unique competencies, creating a pressing management issue.

In response to these challenges, Canon Systems & Support introduces the new "Manufacturing Solutions" within the IT DX Series to support customers throughout the entire DX implementation process—covering everything from IT planning and device selection to installation, operation, maintenance, and training. This will empower SMEs to navigate through their digital transformation journey more efficiently.

The new solutions will leverage Canon's renowned imaging technologies and various security enhancements to create a safe and secure working environment while simultaneously improving operational efficiencies. Moreover, crucial skills, which have been difficult to inherit, will be analyzed and visualized using motion sensors. This will enhance the reproducibility of expert craftsmanship and foster its transferability across generations.

Canon Systems & Support remains committed to developing solutions that address the unique challenges faced by small and medium-sized manufacturers. By capitalizing on IT and imaging, Canon aspires to build a safe workplace and promote agile adaptation to external changes. Additionally, they are focused on supporting human resource development across the industry, ensuring their clients can sustain their growth objectives amidst a rapidly changing landscape.

The introduction of the Manufacturing Solutions option reflects Canon's dedication to fostering an environment where everyone can work safely and effectively. As SMEs strive to adapt to the complexities of today’s market, the organization's resources and expertise will be indispensable in steering them toward successful digital transformations.
