“SmartMat Cloud” uses IoT weighing scales to grasp real-time inventory, improving the efficiency of inventory management. It has been introduced to over 1,200 companies, and in addition to the service industry (medical care, food and beverage, and accommodation), the number of companies introducing it has been rapidly increasing in the manufacturing industry in recent years.<\/p>

In particular, it has been adopted by more than half of Japan’s leading manufacturing industries, including the automotive and chemical industries, making a significant contribution to the promotion of digital transformation across the industry.<\/p>
