Japan manufacturing digital transformation initiatives
Overview
In late 2026, several initiatives in Japan focused on digital transformation (DX) and talent development within the manufacturing sector.
At the Manufacturing DX EXPO 2026 Summer Tokyo, Smart Craft scheduled a presentation regarding the integration of management and frontline operations. The session highlighted case studies from Tensho Electric Industry Co., Ltd. and Sansei Hamono Co., Ltd., which utilized cloud Manufacturing Execution Systems to achieve reported productivity and production volume increases.
Subsequent seminars in October 2026 addressed human resource challenges and business process fragmentation. One seminar, featuring Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., focused on fostering digital talent and leadership from within the existing workforce to combat technical skill shortages. Another session addressed growth strategies for the AI era, specifically regarding centralized data management through next-generation ERP and the automation of business processes.
