      Toyoda compared the economic impact of the new Corona to the 2008 Lehman shock, saying, "This time, the financial system is relatively sound. But in the Lehman Shock, China was the driving force, supporting the global car market. This time, the impact has spread to the whole world and we cannot expect it to support the market. On the other hand, regarding the current state of the supply chain (parts supply network), he said, "The Great East Japan Earthquake has made us realize how the supply chain is designed to meet Chinese demand, rather than bringing (parts) from China. In general, since the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the Great East Japan Earthquake, production and procurement of parts where they can be sold has progressed one step further than at that time," he said. Regarding the impact on domestic production and sales. (March 19, 2020, Tokyo; Credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

          Unmanned forklift trucks installed by Yamazaki Mazak at the Minokamo Plant No. 2.

          Yamazaki Mazak has restructured and integrated the No. 1 and No. 2 plants of its mainstay Minokamo Plant (Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture) from product-based to assembly and parts processing functions, and opened them to the press and customers. The company introduced its first radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for parts and unmanned forklift trucks (AGFLs), and also utilized the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins to increase the monthly production capacity to 350 units, a 50% increase over the previous capacity. The Minokamo Plant is responsible for 60% of Yamazaki Mazak's domestic production. The first and second plants are about 600 meters apart and were previously operated as separate factories. With the reorganization of Minokamo, the smartification of domestic factories has come full circle. Yamazaki Mazak's Minokamo Plant No. 2 in Minokamo, Gifu Prefecture, November 25, 2019.
