A Story of a Printing Company with 5 Employees Reducing Costs to One-Hundredth by Implementing Generative AI in the Manufacturing Field【Generative AI Practice Meeting】

"AI is not magic. It is a 'resource' that takes over small daily tasks." Founded 57 years ago, Nicho Co., Ltd., a printing company specializing in food labels with 5 employees. The representative, Aino, who is not from an engineering background, started integrating generative AI into the manufacturing field this year, dramatically changing the company's workflow. While discussions about desk work efficiency with ChatGPT are prevalent, we are going a step further this time. We will share real primary information about AI transforming not just "PC work" but the "manufacturing field itself." This is a practical meeting that we especially want those who think "this doesn't concern small companies like ours" to attend. Because ours is a small company, the speed at which AI can change the field is rapid. Experience this through real examples!
