Upcoming Webinar on Manufacturing Equipment Investment

Title: Transforming Investment in Manufacturing Equipment Towards In-House Logistics Automation
Date: June 18, 2026 (Thursday), 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Format: Online

In recent years, the Japanese manufacturing sector has experienced a notable shift in its investment strategy. Historically, the emphasis has been predominantly on production equipment, often leaving in-house logistics and parts storage as secondary priorities. However, with the growing challenges of labor shortages and the imperative need for optimized factory space, many companies are now beginning to explore automation solutions within the logistics domain.

Background: The Underestimated Digital Transformation in Logistics

Despite the advancements in automation technology, components storage and in-house logistics have long been managed through manual methods such as medium- and lightweight shelving. However, a growing awareness of the benefits provided by automation, especially in terms of efficiency and space management, is driving companies to reconsider their logistics operations.
The critical question arises: how can firms successfully integrate automation into their logistics processes?

To successfully automate in-house logistics, it is essential to harmonize two core components: data management through Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and the implementation of sophisticated hardware solutions, such as automated warehouses. The synergy between Seino Information Service, which excels in supply chain systems, and ROMS, known for their space-saving automated warehouse solutions, forms the basis for this essential seminar.

Webinar Overview

The upcoming webinar will explore the current landscape of manufacturing investment, emphasizing the often-overlooked logistics area. Attendees will learn valuable insights on selecting the right equipment and effectively designing environments to avoid pitfalls associated with automation. Insights will be shared through practical case studies, giving participants a clear understanding of what is needed to progress towards automation.

Program Highlights

1. Turning Point in Logistics Automation: The importance of business redesign and systems management.
2. Escaping from Medium-Light Shelving: Introducing small-scale automated warehouses designed for manufacturing, maximizing factory space while enabling efficient picking without the need for extensive movements.

Please note that the program is subject to change without prior notice.
