      For the first time in seven years, Toyota Motor Corporation has foregone a bear

      The union called for the establishment of a wage system that rewards union members for their efforts by further strengthening the method of differentiating salaries based on evaluations. Although the new distribution system has been postponed with no increase in pay, the reform of the evaluation system has become a common understanding between labor and management. The company expressed its desire to incline the wage system to be maintained, including regular pay raises, in this spring's struggle. In response, Chairman Nishino took a positive stance, saying, "Labor and management will continue to hold discussions. The entire industry is closely watching the future of Toyota's wage system reform.

            Hokuriku Electric Power's "Assist Arm" robot for power distribution work

            Hokuriku Electric Power Company has completed the development of the "Assist Arm" (photo), a robot for power distribution work, and has begun deploying it. The robot will assist in the construction work, which used to be done by two people in a high-altitude work truck, enabling the work to be done by one person. This is the first time such a robot has been used in Japan. The company plans to adopt 10 more robots, including those of group companies, by the end of fiscal year 2019. The robots will be used for the most frequent part of the power distribution work, the wire separator work. In the past, high-voltage wires were cut and the cut wires were connected to each other with a temporary equipment called a wire separator by lifting a stick-shaped tool weighing about 10 kilograms. The robot will be able to cut wires and grab objects with an arm that can move in six axes with a single control grip, saving labor.
