Izumi Chamber of Commerce and Industry to begin handling single-employer workers' compensation

The lone worker's accident insurance for lone workers started by the Izumi Chamber of Commerce and Industry is available to lone workers in the construction industry. Members of the chamber will be asked to join the chamber's construction workers' accident compensation union and will be covered by the national workers' accident insurance. In addition to the chamber's annual membership fee, the annual fee is 5,000 yen and the annual premium depends on the basic daily benefit amountto be paid when the worker is unable to work. If the basic daily benefit amount is 3,500 yen, the annual premium is 22,986 yen, and if it is 25,000 yen, the annual premium is 164,250 yen. Takaji Hashimoto, executive director of the chamber, said, "We hope that people will protect themselves (by joining the lone worker's accident insurance) and take a system that will enable them to sustain their businesses.

      People involved in the Tottori Robot Hub receive an explanation of the simulated production line.

      The Tottori Prefectural Industrial Technology Center opened the Tottori Robot Hub," a base to support the introduction of robots to production sites, at the Machine and Materials Research Institute in Yonago City on April 24. Of the total area of 174 square meters, 134 square meters have been set aside for a simulated production line using five robots, articulated and SCARA robots. Fumihiro Yoshimura, Director of the Commerce, Industry, and Labor Bureau of Tottori Prefecture, said, "We want to make sure that Tottori Prefecture is known as a leading prefecture in robotics," while Satoru Fukuoka, President of the Tottori Industrial Technology Center, expressed his hope that the center would become a hub for information on how to make factories smarter.

        Demonstration experiment of walking guidance by a cane-type robot with wheels at Osaka City University

        Demonstration experiment of walking guidance by a cane-type robot with wheels at Osaka City University

        When the user walks holding the staff part, the robot automatically steers the wheels and guides the user to the destination. A feature of the robot is that it does not have an autonomous movement function, so that users can feel as if they are walking by themselves. This time, a function has been added that allows users to set their destinations by holding up their cards. However, as it was found to be difficult to use during the verification experiment, Mr. Imazu intends to improve this function, saying, "We would like to consider other methods, including voice recognition technology. A crowdfunding campaign is currently underway until the evening of the 26th in order to put the system into practical use as soon as possible. The target amount is set at 2 million yen. The funds raised will be used to develop charging facilities and waterproof exteriors.

          Okada Shell Manufacturing (Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture) will introducean IT production management system to its No. 2 plant by December 2020. The investment will amount to about 20 million yen. The plant is the main production base near the main plant. The production plan will be reflected directly from the office to the production facilities in the plant, and the progress will be monitored in real time. Okada Shell Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is engaged in the production of cores, which are sand molds used to create cavities inside castings. Conventional paper-based production records have been prone to errors, but the company will automatically accumulate production data from its facilities and use the data to extract production conditions that realize high quality and to train young workers. In addition to the use of simulation equipment to analyze the core manufacturing method, the defect rate will be reduced from 5% to 2%. Credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

            Kanden Engineering Co., Ltd. (Kita Ward, Osaka City) expanded its facilities for experiencing dangerous acts during construction, inspection, and diagnosis of electrical equipment, etc., and opened the new "Safety and Technology Training Center" (Settsu City, Osaka Prefecture) on April 14. The facility will be used to train about 600 people a year, including all employees and subcontractors. The company analyzed past occupational accidents such as electric shock, crashes and falls, and equipment accidents caused by mishandling, and compiled a booklet with mottoes and lessons learned, "100 Failures of Engineering Version," which took two years to complete. The related investment was about 45 million yen. Mr. Aoshima hopes that the booklet and the facility will "help people improve their sensitivity to danger with their minds and bodies.

              Orevo, a convenience store, has introduced an AI-based automatic checkout system for side dishes.

              Orevo, a convenience store, has introduced an AI-based automatic checkout system for side dishes.

              In the convenience store industry, where intensifying competition has been combined with a shortage of labor, the three major companies are workingto demonstrate unmanned cash registers and review 24-hour operations. In such a situation, Ishida (Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City), a long-established weighing scale manufacturer, has teamed up with Orebo, a regional convenience store in Fukui Prefecture, to develop a new system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to save labor at the cash register. The price of the system, excluding consumption tax, is about 3 million yen. Although it is more expensive than Ishida's regular scales, it is expected to save labor in processing and cooking areas of supermarkets in addition to stores that handle side dishes, and inquiries are strong.

                Towa Electric Industry's 6-kilowatt charger for electric vehicles

                Towa Electric Industry (Kita Ward, Okayama City), in cooperation with Wako Denken (Yao City, Osaka Prefecture), has commercialized a low-cost 6-kilowatt battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs). The total price (excluding consumption tax) is about 200,000 yen if installation work is also undertaken, which is about half the cost of installing a standard 6-kilowatt charger. The battery can be recharged in 12.5 hours with Nissan's LEAF e+ EV, halving the recharging time compared to a 3-kilowatt charger. Towa Electric Industry is engaged in the maintenance of power generation facilities, telecommunications work, and electrical work for stores in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. "In April 2018, the company launched its first product, a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system for large facilities such as factories, with the aim of expanding its peripheral businesses related to electricity.

                  Shoe terminals (left) and magnetic clip terminals to be distributed at otta's services for the elderly

                  Otta will apply the know-how of its service for children to prevent dementia patients from going missing due to wandering. The service will first be offered in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, and is expected to be used by several hundred people in the first year. The service will be available at the city office. The terminals will be distributed mainly in the form of magnetic clips that can be wrapped around a staff or attached to shoes. The monthly fee for the service is expected to be several hundred yen. While the routes to and from school are fixed for children to some extent, it has been difficult for the elderly to read the range of their activities. The city of Minoh began a verification experiment in 2016 by distributing monitoring terminals to elementary and junior high school students, and in 2005 expanded the scope of the experiment to include the elderly.
