Free Webinar Explaining Digital Transformation Strategies and AI Adoption in the Manufacturing Industry Co-hosted by three companies, including IT Plan, on October 6

IT Plan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture; Representative Director: Fumio Ota) will host a webinar titled “Breaking Through Growth Barriers in the AI Era! Business Transformation for Manufacturing DX Professionals” on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, in collaboration with Ingage Co., Ltd. and Infocom Corporation.

[Webinar Overview]

“Even after upgrading core systems, efficiency on the shop floor doesn’t improve.”

The root cause of the “growth barriers” faced by many manufacturers lies in the fragmentation of business processes that connect management, the shop floor, and customers. To break through these barriers in the AI era, it is essential to go beyond simply introducing tools and implement “proper business design” and system integration that span the entire company.

This webinar brings together three companies that support DX in the manufacturing industry from the upstream stages all the way to the shop floor.

Starting with our company’s “upstream DX strategy and business design,” we’ll cover everything from the centralized management and digitization of core operations to the integration of internal and external communications, and the automation of inquiry handling by AI agents.

By linking these elements, we not only improve operational efficiency and reduce costs but also enhance customer satisfaction through faster response times and turn data into a valuable asset. We’ll present concrete strategies to move beyond DX that merely involves “installing a system” and use AI to guide your entire company into its next phase of growth.

[Agenda for This Webinar]

1. Business Process Design for Successful Transformation and the Talent Required in the AI Era

2. Centralized Management of Company-Wide Data and Faster Management Decision-Making Achieved Through Next-Generation ERP × AI

3. Eliminating Reliance on Individual Expertise and Converting Information into Assets Through AI-Driven Automation of Inquiry Handling
