Macnica presentation contents

15:40~16:30
"Considering the current state of DX in the manufacturing industry: Lack of progress in initiatives, reasons and solutions"
Speaker: Shunsuke Kajimoto, General Manager, Professional Services Division 2, Digital Industry Business Department, Innovation Strategy Business Headquarters Macnica

Content: Recently, the necessity of DX has become widely recognized. However, the interpretation of the words differs greatly depending on the department and individual, and there are many cases where those involved do not see eye to eye when promoting the project. Therefore, in this lecture, we will reconfirm the ``background of why DX is required and the purpose of promotion'' and ``the reasons why DX is not progressing and countermeasures,'' and think about creating an environment for DX promotion in which everyone from management to the field work together.
