| Abstract | The production volume of automobiles is expected to increase in the future, but Japan's working-age population is projected to decrease further. Under these conditions, efficiency, automation, and labor-saving in the production of automobiles, automotive parts, and machinery components are becoming increasingly important. This paper explains trends in manufacturing technology. It also describes research and development efforts by JTEKT into digital twins, focusing on gear skiving and grinding processes. Finally, the applications of AI technology in JTEKT, including the automation of resin injection molding, knowledge modeling for machining, and the automation of visual paint inspection for CVJ are described in detail. |
