Since our founding, Sanyo Machine Works, Ltd.
(SMW) has supported the manufacturing industry
by establishing strong partnerships
with companies all over the world through
our production systems.
High expectations from partners
who are highly regarded
in their respective industries heve driven
us to hone our skills.
As a result, we have become a technology-driven,
total engineering company capable
of performing every step of the manufacturing
process from conception,
through mechanical design,
machining, assembly, and installation.
A production system requires perfect
harmony between humans and machines.
Naturally it is important to develop
a system that is higher-quality,
more accurate and more efficient from
the perspective of both its software and hardware.
However, at the same time, we must consider
how to make the jobs that can only be done
by people both safe and rewarding.
Meanwhile, in this era of vast societal changes,
it is essential to not simply offer equipment
that solves current problems,
but to give it the scalability
and flexibility to adapt to the future markets,
and provide full support
through post-sale maintenance.
SMW has worked closely with the top companies
in their respective industries
and continued to develop our technology
together with these partners.
This is why we take pride in our ability
to develop production systems
that can handle both current and future problems.
In recent years, AI and the metaverse have begun
to be utilized in various fields.
SMW has also introduced AI
into our production systems,
and have found it to be effective in roles,
such as increasing the rate
of defective products detected during
finished product inspection.
In addition, we began working on simulation
utilizing 3D technology from early on,
and this has allowed us to develop systems designed
to better fit our customers.
We will continue to make the most
of innovative technology to respond
to the needs of the times.
Now that the global environment is facing crisis,
it is critical for us to reduce our environmental impact.
Through our production systems,
we contribute to CO2 reduction and improvement
in the labor environment at various companies.
We are also striving to create
an environmentally friendly workplace
at our own company through initiatives such
as the adoption of solar power in our office buildings.
We will keep improving our technology together
with our partners all over the world,
and continue to contribute to society through
our innovative production systems,
Keita Horiba, President
