Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

On December 14, 2025, in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, the phrase "The Heart of the World is Bleeding" aptly encapsulates the aftermath of the flash floods that occurred during this period. In the wake of the devastation, residents gathered tree trunks that had been uprooted and displaced from the Leuser Ecosystem, a consequence of Tropical Cyclone Senyar that may be characterised as a "dark harvest." Rudi Putra, the founder of the Leuser Conservation Forum, articulated that the magnitude of this devastation transcends a typical natural disaster; it serves as a poignant indicator of the deterioration of our natural defences against the global climate crisis.

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.

Uyenotecnica's visual inspection system for food products

Ueno Technica (Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture) has developed a device (photo) that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the visual inspection of food products. A horizontally articulated (SCARA) robot equipped with a camera can identify and remove defective products from randomly placed products. We plan to launch the product by next summer and propose its introduction to food manufacturers. The AI will store a large number of image data in advance and determine good and bad products based on wrinkles and burrs in the packaging material. It is expected to reduce the burden on workers by automating the judgment of defective food products, which relies on manual labor. It is expected to be useful in solving the labor shortage at production sites, and is being marketed to food manufacturers.
