Introduction
In recent years, digital transformation (DX) has become more than just a technological trend—it has evolved into a driving force reshaping how companies operate and compete. While artificial intelligence (AI) often takes the spotlight, DX encompasses a broader scope, integrating advanced technologies, data-driven decision-making, and new business models to fundamentally change organizational processes.
Unlike AI tools that typically focus on generating content or automating specific tasks, DX initiatives aim to redesign entire workflows, break down silos, and create value across the enterprise. For modern businesses, this shift translates into measurable benefits: streamlined operations, reduced costs, enhanced customer engagement, and greater resilience in the global market.
As industries navigate unprecedented challenges, the question is no longer whether to adopt DX but how effectively it can be implemented to move from efficiency gains to true innovation.

CS Instruments: Turning Compressed Air into a Data-Driven DX Asset
While many digital transformation (DX) initiatives focus on front-end systems or production lines, utilities such as compressed air often remain a “black box” in the background. However, compressed air is one of the most expensive energy sources in manufacturing, and its optimisation can unlock significant efficiency gains.
CS Instruments, a German company specialising in measuring technology for compressed air and gases, helps manufacturers bring this hidden infrastructure into the scope of DX. For more than 20 years, the company has developed sensors, analysers and software that make it possible to visualise, optimise and document compressed air performance in a data-driven way.
At the core of CS Instruments’ approach is a comprehensive portfolio covering dew point, flow and consumption, compressed air quality and leakage detection. Dew point sensors and monitoring systems track residual moisture to protect dryers, pneumatic equipment and end products from instability and damage. Flow and consumption meters, combined with data loggers, reveal how much compressed air is actually used, where bottlenecks occur and which parts of the network are oversized or inefficient. Quality measurement solutions support monitoring in line with ISO 8573, including particles, residual oil and moisture for sensitive industries such as food, pharmaceuticals and electronics.
Leakage detection adds another important layer. Using acoustic cameras and handheld detectors, maintenance teams can identify and document leaks that would otherwise remain invisible. When leakage data is combined with flow, pressure and power measurements, manufacturers can calculate the true cost of losses and prioritise repairs based on energy savings and payback time. What used to be “just a maintenance issue” becomes a strategic lever in energy management and sustainability.
All of this data is brought together through chart recorders and software platforms that support long-term analysis and reporting. Instead of isolated measurements taken only during audits, companies can continuously monitor their compressed air systems, set alarms, compare sites and substantiate investments with hard numbers. In this way, compressed air is no longer a static utility but a dynamic, optimisable asset fully aligned with DX ambitions.
For manufacturers that are serious about both efficiency and resilience, solutions like those from CS Instruments show how DX can extend beyond production lines and IT systems into the very infrastructure that keeps factories running. By making compressed air transparent, measurable and controllable, they help enterprises move from intuition to evidence-based decision-making—and from incremental cost savings to a more strategic, innovation-ready operation.

KAFLIX CLOUD Inc. | Self Check-in Kiosks Introduced at Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido: Improving Reception Efficiency and Reducing Operational Burden
Official website: https://www.kaflixcloud.co.jp
Overview of the Implementation
KAFLIX CLOUD Inc. (Head Office: Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture; CEO: Hyungjun Yoon) has begun the full-scale operation of self check-in kiosks developed by the company for “Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido,” which is operated by JR Hokkaido Solutions Co., Ltd., as of June 3, 2025.
By integrating the kiosks with Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido’s proprietary core system, the initiative has achieved greater efficiency in the reception process while significantly reducing the operational workload for staff.
Improved Operational Efficiency Through Shorter Reception Times
With the introduction of the self check-in kiosks, the reception process can be completed in approximately 3 to 5 minutes per customer group, and in some cases as quickly as 1 to 2 minutes.
This has substantially reduced waiting times during peak periods and contributed to easing the burden on on-site staff. At Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido, staff continue to assist customers when personal guidance or customer service is required, while standard departure procedures are completed via the self check-in kiosks. This hybrid operation effectively combines staffed service with self-service kiosks.
Key Features: Balancing Convenience and Operational Efficiency
The self check-in kiosks are equipped with the following features:
・AI-powered facial recognition
・Electronic contracts with tablet-based signatures
・Cashless payment via credit card
・Multilingual support in English, Chinese (Traditional), and Korean
Significance of the Implementation at Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido
By linking its independently developed core system with the self check-in kiosks, Ekiren Car Rental Hokkaido has achieved both labor savings and standardized reception operations.
As the number of inbound tourists to Japan continues to grow, multilingual support and expanded cashless payment options contribute significantly to improving customer convenience. In addition, amid ongoing labor shortages in the car rental industry, the adoption of self check-in kiosks is positioned as an important DX (digital transformation) initiative.

Talentee: An AI-Driven Job Hunting Platform Connecting Students and Companies Through Shared Values
Introduction to Talented
Talentee (https://lp.ai-talentee.jp/), provided by Shūkatsu Radio Inc., is a career-matching service built around the concept of “values-first” recruiting. Instead of the conventional approach where students pursue major corporations and treat job offers as the final goal, Talentee introduces a new matching model focused on aligning values and fostering post-hire success. The platform uses AI to automatically optimize matches based on both students’ and companies’ values and aptitudes, reducing mismatches and streamlining the entire hiring process.
Background: Why Talentee Was Created
Japan’s job-hunting market is increasingly characterized by a structural divide between large enterprises and small/medium-sized companies. Rising prices and wage increases have strengthened students’ preference for major corporations, creating a buyer’s market for large firms and a seller’s market for SMEs.
In regional areas with many SMEs and manufacturers—including Toyama Prefecture, where the company is headquartered—common concerns include:
- “Our low brand recognition means job ads don’t attract applicants.”
- “We can’t compete with major firms based on salary alone.”
To address this, Talentee intentionally removes traditional search filters and hides company names, enabling discoveries based purely on values. By combining this approach with AI, the platform shifts away from the traditional “big-company mindset” and “job-offer-as-goal” model, establishing a new standard focused on cultural fit, post-hire performance, and long-term retention.
Three Key Advantages of Talented
1. No Condition Search—Facilitating True, Values-Aligned Matching
Traditional job searches prioritizing brand name, salary, or industry often skew student choices toward well-known companies, reducing opportunities to meet culturally aligned employers. Talentee eliminates condition search and conceals company names to promote unbiased matching. Instead, it emphasizes value-based alignment, connecting companies with students who resonate with their culture and work style—not just their brand.
2. Zero Listing or Update Fees—Companies Pay Only When a Match Leads to an Initial Interview
Unlike typical job platforms where companies pay before interacting with candidates, Talentee uses a pay-per-match model. Fees incur only when a first interview between a student and a company is successfully arranged. This structure optimizes recruitment costs and offers a low-risk solution—especially appealing for SMEs or regional companies with limited advertising budgets.
Talentee establishes a modern, value-driven approach to job matching, creating meaningful connections that support long-term employee success and organizational growth.

EBARA Corporation: Launch of “EBARA-D3™,” Accelerating Manufacturing DX Through Gamification
Fujisawa Factory of EBARA Corporation Recreated in a Metaverse Space
Background: Challenges of Skill Transfer in the Manufacturing Industry
In Japan’s manufacturing industry, the decline in experienced engineers and heavy reliance on individual-specific skills have become serious issues, making it difficult to develop young engineers into productive contributors at an early stage. In particular, advanced skills and tacit knowledge are difficult to formalize, creating a strong need to eliminate overreliance on individuals and to standardize skill levels. To address these challenges, EBARA Corporation is promoting a new manufacturing DX project for its production sites.
What Is “EBARA-D3™”?
“EBARA-D3™” is EBARA Corporation’s proprietary manufacturing DX project that supports skill transfer on the shop floor by leveraging gamification technology. Rather than simply digitally reproducing equipment and processes, the project is based on the concept of a “Digital Triplet (D3),” which recreates not only physical assets but also workers’ decision-making and sensory judgments—forms of tacit knowledge that have traditionally been difficult to digitize—within a 3D space, placing people at the center. By incorporating elements of game design, the system is structured to enable continuous skill learning in an engaging and enjoyable manner.
Key Functions and Components
・“Beyondverse”
Equipment and human movements within the factory are modeled in 3D and reproduced in a metaverse environment. Through validation and simulation, it contributes to improving work efficiency and enhancing evaluations for equipment introduction and process design.
・“DOJO”
As a skill transfer and education system, DOJO enables the management and analysis of skill information as well as the provision of digital training materials. This allows for the formulation of training plans and visualization of skills. By incorporating gamification elements, it helps boost motivation and improve the efficiency of skill acquisition.
Pilot Implementation at the Fujisawa Factory and Future Development
A pilot implementation of “EBARA-D3™” has already begun at the Fujisawa Factory, and based on the results obtained, expansion to other domestic sites and business locations is planned. Beyond simple skill transfer, the initiative is expected to contribute to the realization of human capital management by supporting the growth of each employee and resolving issues related to overreliance on individuals. Looking ahead, EBARA Corporation is also considering collaboration with other companies as well as external sales and SaaS offerings, with the aim of extending the impact of this initiative across Japan’s manufacturing industry as a whole.
Company Overview: EBARA Corporation
Founded in 1912, EBARA Corporation is an industrial machinery manufacturer with strong technological capabilities in the fields of social and industrial infrastructure, focusing on products such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and waste incineration facilities.

Tenpo App (Trancemedia GP Inc.)
The environment surrounding brick-and-mortar stores has become increasingly complex in recent years. Labor shortages, rising operating costs, and increasingly diverse customer expectations are reshaping the way physical stores operate. At the same time, smartphone-based information access and cashless payments have become standard, requiring stores to adopt more flexible and efficient operating models than ever before. In this context, digital transformation (DX) has gained attention as a practical approach to strengthening customer engagement while streamlining daily operations.
“Store App” as a gateway to store DX
The Store App, developed by Transmedia GP Inc., is a service that enables brick-and-mortar businesses to build and operate their own official mobile applications. By centralizing functions such as information distribution, promotional activities, and member management within a single app, the service helps organize tasks that are often fragmented across multiple tools. Its ability to be implemented without large-scale system development makes it an accessible first step for stores beginning their DX journey.
Features designed for real-world store operations
The Store App includes a range of functions aimed at encouraging repeat visits and long-term customer engagement, including push notifications, digital coupons, stamp cards, and digital membership cards. It also supports automated message distribution based on visit history and usage data, allowing stores to systematize promotional activities that are often dependent on individual staff experience. As a no-code solution, the app is designed to be easily managed even by teams with limited IT expertise.
Use cases across different business types
The app is used in a variety of ways depending on the industry. Restaurants leverage it to promote repeat visits and share campaign information, while retail and distribution businesses use it to digitize membership programs and connect with e-commerce channels. Hotels and leisure facilities utilize the app to communicate event information and service updates. Because it can be introduced without major changes to existing workflows, the Store App is well suited for businesses seeking to advance DX in a gradual and sustainable manner.

Palmee | 360° VR DX tool for dealing with home closures and vacant house issues
Against the backdrop of a declining birthrate, an aging society, and ongoing population decline, the growing number of vacant homes across Japan has become a serious social issue.
In particular, the process of closing down a family home is something many people tend to put off, as it involves not only sorting through a physical space but also confronting deep personal memories and emotions tied to the home.
In this area—where emotional concerns and social challenges intersect—a 360° VR photography service called Palmee offers a new approach.
Preserving spaces through 360° VR
Palmee is a digital transformation tool that captures the interior of a home in 360° photographs and stores the entire space as VR data .
Rather than simply recording images or videos, Palmee digitally preserves the space itself—making it possible to retain the layout, atmosphere, and even small, meaningful details of everyday life.
The captured VR space allows users to walk through the home virtually, as if they were standing there. In this way, a cherished home can be preserved as a digital asset to revisit in the future.
Long-term storage and easy sharing
With the Palmee Cloud Album (web version), all data is securely managed online. Each VR space can be accessed via a dedicated URL or QR code, making it easy to share with family members or relatives living far away.
Palmee also offers a tablet version, delivered on a dedicated device. This allows users to view the VR space anytime without an internet connection. Because it is ready to use immediately, even elderly users or those unfamiliar with digital devices can access it with ease.
Even after a house has been demolished or sold, the memories embedded in the space remain accessible.
Letting go of a home and preserving its memories are not things that can be easily separated.
Palmee offers an option that supports people by staying close to the difficulty they face, helping them work through their emotions.
Supporting decisions around vacant homes and inheritance
Palmee is expected to be useful not only for personal home closures, but also in situations involving inheritance, real estate liquidation, and vacant house management.
By digitally recording the space first, individuals and families can take time to consider their next steps while reducing the psychological burden associated with immediate decisions.
In situations that require both emotional sensitivity and rational judgment, expanding available options through digital transformation is becoming increasingly important.
A DX solution recognized by local governments
These initiatives have been highly evaluated, and Palmee has been selected as a return gift for Japan’s hometown tax donation program by Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo.
Its adoption by a local government highlights Palmee’s credibility as a digital transformation tool that contributes to solving broader social issues—not just a service for individual use.
This track record also points to future possibilities for expansion into other regions and public-sector applications.
Connecting spatial memories to the future through DX
Palmee represents a new form of digital transformation—using VR technology to preserve spatial memories as data. As society continues to face complex challenges such as vacant homes, inheritance, and family home closures, demand for thoughtful technological solutions is expected to grow.
As a tool that connects people’s memories with the digital world, Palmee’s potential applications are likely to continue expanding.
