Knowledge Management Required for Manufacturing in the AI Era
~ Practical Methods for "Maintenance," "Sharing," and "Utilization" Supporting Technology Succession ~


will be held.


———————————————————————————————————————


Technology succession is an essential effort for the sustainable growth of Japan's manufacturing industry. However, due to the retirement of veterans and a shortage of skilled personnel, the entire manufacturing sector is beginning to face a serious challenge of technological discontinuity.


Knowledge management is highly effective for the challenges of technology succession. Additionally, the rapidly evolving AI is well suited to knowledge management, and by utilizing it effectively, it is possible to achieve human resource development and, ultimately, technology succession.


To effectively utilize AI in knowledge management, the first practical and sustainable step is to organize and share the design and development know-how accumulated within the company.


In this seminar, we will introduce an approach to knowledge management in the AI era by combining "Knowledge Explorer," a knowledge utilization AI solution developed by Zuken Pre-Site Inc., with the knowledge organization expertise of Human Science Inc.


Introducing the distinctive features of "Knowledge Explorer" that enable effective utilization of knowledge, along with key points to improve the clarity of knowledge and examples from other companies, providing content that can be immediately applied.
If you want to make effective use of valuable assets inside and outside your company, or if you feel challenges in utilizing knowledge within your department, please join us enthusiastically.


Furthermore, after the seminar, we will accept consultations for any issues you may have.
