First written in FY2017. 5 of 6 entries say "Advanced", first in FY2021. Latest entry: FY2026.
No other company in this theme has enough history to compare yet.
- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「For the AIDA Data Analytics System Ai CARE, we developed Ai CARE Edge, an AIDA Data Analytics System Ai CARE product that uses edge computing.」
For Ai CARE, development was set out in specific terms for real-time load-waveform measurement using edge AI, RFID-based die management, an AI press camera, and a collaborative in-die robot. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「We have commercialized an application that uses AI, in place of skilled technicians, to support monitoring of die life and signs of impending failures.」
For AiCARE, AI applications for monitoring die life and signs of impending failures were commercialized, and a Q&A function for machine operation and processing methods using a generative-AI agent was also developed. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「The development of AiCARE uses the Company’s accumulated expertise built up over many years and the latest AI technologies to analyze data accumulated in the cloud, supporting various operations that had previously relied on the experience of skilled technicians, including predicting the service life of dies. In addition, OpenAI’s generative AI, ChatGPT, has been incorporated so that AI can provide the Company’s accumulated know-how and knowledge, including how to operate machines and how to perform processing.」
For AiCARE, die-life prediction became possible, and a function was developed to provide knowledge on machine operation and processing methods using integrated generative AI. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「SCADA is a system that aggregates information such as operating conditions, including die height and press speed, production loads, operating hours, bearing temperatures, lubricating-oil flow rates, and motor-current values, and visualizes the real-time status of press machines and press lines. In fiscal 2021, SCADA was installed on high-speed presses, contributing to the stable operation of high-speed precision-processing lines.」
For IoT and DX, the installation of SCADA on high-speed presses was completed, and the development of patented AI technology for detecting impending failures and AiCARE’s function for notifying users when parts should be replaced was also reported. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「We developed a fault-diagnosis function that analyzes data collected from press machines and detects signs of impending failures. Going forward, we are pursuing further functional improvements so that AI can learn from collected operating-history data and provide operating assistance.」
For the IoT theme, development progressed in specific terms for 3D monitoring, fault guidance, AI-based detection of impending failures, and preventive-maintenance functions through AiCARE. - FY2017First statedAnnual report
「We are continuing development and improvements, including responding to the standard installation of IoT functions on press machines, enhancing information security in line with advances in control technologies, and developing lubrication systems capable of handling the complex motions of increasingly high-performance material-handling equipment and robots.」
New elemental-technology themes were listed, including standard IoT installation on press machines, improved information security, and lubrication systems capable of handling complex robot movements.
