「Building on the delivery of an AI-equipped sorting machine to 松山容器株式会社 in the previous fiscal year, we are strengthening sales efforts mainly in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.」
Indicated that sales efforts for AI-equipped sorting machines are being strengthened on the basis of previous delivery results. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「In addition to FA equipment used in manufacturing, we also provide equipment that automates and reduces labor in the industrial waste processing industry, including AI-equipped sorting machines.」
The Company has progressed beyond the research and development stage for AI- and robot-based sorting equipment and has disclosed AI-equipped sorting machines as products supplied to the industrial waste processing industry. - FY2024ReframedAnnual report
「Development of a system for methane fermentation of chicken manure and food waste and fertilizer production from the fermentation residue」
The development scope has expanded from the existing system for power generation and fertilizer production using chicken manure to a methane fermentation and fertilizer production system that also processes food waste. - FY2022RestatedAnnual report
「To address these issues, we worked on developing an AI-based automated identification system and equipment that uses robots for automated sorting. ② Fertilizer production using clean energy generated from chicken manure We worked on developing a system that uses methane fermentation of chicken manure to generate electricity while producing fertilizer from the fermentation residue.」
Research and development of AI- and robot-based sorting equipment and a system for methane fermentation, power generation and fertilizer production using chicken manure is continuing. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「Waste sorting at disposal facilities is often performed manually, creating hygiene and safety issues as well as challenges associated with an aging workforce and labor shortages. To address these issues, we worked on developing an AI-based automated identification system and equipment that uses robots for automated sorting. ② Fertilizer production using clean energy generated from chicken manure We worked on developing a system that uses methane fermentation of chicken manure to generate electricity while producing fertilizer from the fermentation residue.」
As new businesses contributing to sustainability, the Company began developing automated PET bottle sorting equipment using AI and robots, as well as a system for generating electricity and producing fertilizer through methane fermentation of chicken manure.
