Our Digital Ambition
In this rapidly changing business environment, we use data and digital technology and transform our products, services, business models and processes, and corporate culture, based on the needs of customers and society, for sustainable business growth.
１．SHIGERU DX strategies
Introduce next generation Smart Manufacturing
In production management, we collect data on production operation and product logistics from IoT platform. We then use BI tool to visualize and analyze the data.
This data-driven approach supports decision-making and helps realize an agile and flexible production system to respond to changing environment. And we manufacture diverse products flexibly to meet customer needs.
Also, we integrate various data related to production, such as sales, procurement, and production engineering data, and optimize overall business processes and maximize value creation.
Reform design and development work
In designing mainly interior and exterior parts of automobiles including next-generation vehicles, we use design management process reform support tool (PLM), AI tool, BI tool, and digital twin technology. In the systems, we accumulate past design data and experience. These advanced technologies make work process more efficient, prevent rework, shorten the time from product concept planning to development completion, and improve design quality.
Support indirect department productivity
We introduce RPA and workflow automation and AI and BI tools to support decision making process, for higher productivity in indirect departments.
Develop digital workplace and digital literacy skills
We create an efficient, flexible, and creative work environment by improving digital infrastructure, and support the execution of various measures. We provide digital literacy education to all employees and advanced digital skills training to specialists so that they can deliver values to customers and our company.
