●Support for Diverse Work Styles
Toward the future vision, we have reviewed the company-wide career map and clarified the career image of professional personnel and the role of their qualifications, thereby unifying the company-wide sense of levels (see figure below). Individual career plans are being formulated based on this map.

●Support for BEV projects
Support for BEV battery production preparation using digital engineering
In the BEV battery case/pack production preparation support, efficient placement of robots using robot review technology reduced the process area and the accompanying transfer time.
We have contributed to productivity improvement by utilizing DE technology (see the figure below), such as reducing man-hours required for checking welding dots by ARPM(*). In addition, we are promoting standardization of specifications with a view to global deployment.

●Development based on production preparation and manufacturing site
Support for automation of factory logistics
Toyota Motor Corporation's Takaoka Plant has been working to build a free-location store by utilizing AMR (Autonomous Automatic Maneuvering Robot) in the logistics production preparation process (see figure on the right).Through the development of transfer coordinate conversion tools, etc., we are improving operational efficiency and promoting support for the introduction of AMR at each plant.
