Call for Participants: B2B Online Seminar 'The Reality of Logistics Automation Beyond Catalogs'

SoftBank Robotics Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Fumehide Tomizawa, hereinafter 'SoftBank Robotics') will co-host an online B2B seminar on July 29, 2026, with Tactech Corporation (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Osamu Yamasaki, hereinafter 'Tactech') and Blysen Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yu Fujiki, hereinafter 'Blysen'). The seminar will introduce practical expertise to enhance operational efficiency in logistics warehouses.

In the logistics industry, efforts to improve efficiency and reduce labor dependency are accelerating due to labor shortages, increasing shipment volumes, product diversification, and shorter delivery cycles. However, many companies remain hesitant to pursue logistics automation due to concerns over large capital investments or uncertainty about implementation strategies.

This seminar will present practical approaches and real-world case studies on scalable logistics automation, including storage and picking optimization through automated warehouses, AI-driven inventory placement, and improvements in in-warehouse operations such as picking, sorting, and quality inspection.

Recommended for the following companies:

- Businesses considering logistics automation but cautious about large-scale equipment investment - Companies facing limited storage space or long picking travel distances - Businesses aiming to optimize inventory placement based on shipment frequency and stock levels - Companies seeking to reduce errors and rework in picking, sorting, and inspection processes
