        Electrical discharge machine introduced by Nagatsu Manufacturing as part of its work automation efforts.

        Nagatsu Seisakusho will begin automating its main plant to improve the efficiencyof machining die parts. The company will introduce work changers for 5-axis machining centers (MC) and other equipment to replace processed parts. The company plans to introduce several 5-axis MCs and work changers as a set if they are utilized smoothly. The installation cost is about 10 million yen. Workers without machining skills only need to take the workpiece and electrodes in and out of the shelves at the site. The company's domestic sales are about 1.6 billion yen. However, the domestic mold market is shrinking. Rather than expanding sales, this automation initiative is aimed at strengthening cost competitiveness and promoting work style reform. Once the automation at the head office plant gets going, the company plans to start automation at the Niigata plant in Mitsuke City, Niigata Prefecture in two to three years.

          Asahi Breweries "Dare to Bottle" promotional tool

          As part of its efforts to expand sales of beer for business use, Asahi Breweries will launch a nationwide "Dare to Bottle" sales promotion program for bottled beer at restaurants. The idea is to promote the value of drinking beer in small groups or at one's own pace, other than at banquets, mainly to young people. The company will provide promotional tools such as posters for in-store use. Based on the results of tests conducted at about 10 stores in Tokyo, the company plans to expand the program nationwide. "Dare to bottle" is used as a keyword to make consumers reaffirm the value of bottled beer. In addition to the need to toast with a large group of people and the need to have a good time, it also emphasizes the value of communicating with friends by pouring a bottle and drinking at one's own pace.
