Transforming Productivity and Information Sharing in Design Industry with MIRAI TOUCH Biz

Revolutionizing Design with Digital Whiteboard: MIRAI TOUCH Biz

In the ever-evolving design industry, productivity and quick information sharing are crucial for success. Satsuki Corporation, based in Osaka, Japan, has introduced the MIRAI TOUCH Biz, a digital whiteboard, to enhance collaborative processes at Company 28, a creative powerhouse located in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Company 28: Bridging Creativity and Technology

Founded initially to create posters and logos, Company 28 has grown to deliver a full range of services, including web development, app creation, graphic design, and strategic branding consultancy. With the advent of remote work and the complexity of their projects, challenges began to emerge.

Issues Before Implementation

1. Information Black Box: With diverse teams working on various tasks, creativity often suffered from a lack of communication. Web meetings were primarily verbal, leaving specific details and workflows hidden from team members.
2. Limited Testing Environment: Traditional design validation was confined to PC monitors, making it challenging to assess the real-world impact of their designs, particularly for printed media such as brochures, which required a clear understanding of scale and detail.

Positive Changes After Integrating MIRAI TOUCH Biz

With the implementation of MIRAI TOUCH Biz, significant transformations occurred in Company 28’s creative division. We spoke with Takahashi, the Creative Director, and Ichikawa, a designer, about their experiences:

1. Enhanced Visibility Leads to Increased Productivity

The team increased their in-person meetings around the new digital whiteboard, allowing for real-time sharing of documents and progress. This ‘visibility’ drastically improved communication speed and overall productivity.

2. Quality Improvement Through Multiple Perspectives

Projecting designs in 4K on a 75-inch screen allowed the team to spot inconsistencies that would commonly be overlooked on smaller monitors. The larger scale fostered new insights and original ideas, ultimately enhancing both the quality of the output and the efficiency of the processes.

Recommendations from Company 28 About MIRAI TOUCH Biz

Encourage Collaboration

The large display created opportunities for enhanced collaboration, as team members could easily share and discuss outputs in a unified space. This shared environment has transformed their team dynamics, fostering appreciation for each member's workload and real-time conditions, enabling more effective support and synergy.

Realistic Representation

For products like posters and brochures, the ability to showcase designs at full scale has been transformative. Designers can now identify layout issues swiftly, and the capacity to write direct edits on-screen facilitates a more dynamic feedback loop during discussions.

Innovative Functionalities

MIRAI TOUCH Biz boasts excellent integration with web conferencing tools, allowing for features like simultaneous projection of up to nine screens and direct annotations on projected content. This direct interaction saves time and enhances clarity during discussions, which is especially beneficial in a design context.

Apple users appreciate the AirPlay compatibility, allowing seamless wireless connectivity for greater flexibility during meetings.
