Innovative Production Planning Solutions at Manufacturing World Nagoya 2026

From April 8 to 10, 2026, the renowned manufacturing exhibition, Assemble World Nagoya, will host an exciting collaboration between Honda Trading and SkyDisc, a member of the Tokyo Gas Group. This partnership promises to unveil ground-breaking innovations centered around AI-driven production planning optimization, specifically through their solution "Saiteki Works."

What is Saiteki Works?

"Saiteki Works" is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) production scheduler designed for the manufacturing sector. It assists businesses in automating and visualizing production planning, making it easy for anyone to use. Companies can smoothly register and update master data, providing them with flexible management capabilities. With this tool, daily production plans can be effortlessly created and updated, allowing manufacturers to implement PDCA cycles to enhance the precision of their data and tailor configurations that suit their specific needs on the shop floor.

Strengthening Manufacturing Competitiveness

The partnership between Honda Trading's deep-rooted field knowledge in the global steel market and SkyDisc's advanced AI technology contributes significantly to enhancing the competitive edge of manufacturers. During this year's exhibition, both companies will share direct case studies, including success stories from the coil center in India, where the efficacy of these innovative solutions was put to the test.

What Visitors Can Expect

At their booth number 24-45, attendees will have the opportunity to:

• - Experience a live demonstration of the latest updates in AI-driven automatic production planning through "Saiteki Works."
• - Hear about real-world success cases from companies that have implemented this solution, particularly from their Indian operations.
• - Engage in individual consultation sessions to address specific challenges such as the over-dependence on human factors during planning and alleviating delays in delivery.

Insights from the Automotive Industry

In January, when exhibiting at Automotive World, attendees expressed their surprise at the extent to which AI could facilitate production planning. Many noted its applicability to traditionally human-dependent processes. Leveraging years of expertise in sourcing and supply chain management, Honda Trading and SkyDisc have received accolades for their comprehensive approach, from proposing methods for practical application in day-to-day operations to planning for post-implementation success.

Join Us at the Event

In this exhibition, real case studies, including the recent trial at the Rajasthan Prime Steel Processing Center Pvt. Ltd. in India, will illustrate how AI-based production planning optimization can enhance operational efficiency and resolve dependency issues in manufacturing settings.

Are you part of the automotive industry and facing challenges in utilizing AI or improving operational efficiency? We invite you to visit our booth (number 24-45) and explore practical solutions tailored to your needs.
