Jidoka is exhibiting at HAMAROBO Exhibition 2026 — one of Japan's established regional shows for robotics, factory automation, and smart manufacturing, now in its third edition. The show is organised by the Hamamatsu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and brings together 42 companies including Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Fanuc, Yaskawa Electric, Omron, Suzuki Motor Corporation, and Yamaha Motor.
JIDOKA is in the Element Technology Zone, adjacent to the HAMAROBO Stage.
What We're Showing
KOMPASS™ — AI for Product Integrity
Live inspection demo at the booth. KOMPASS automates visual inspection at up to 12,000 parts per minute — detecting surface defects, verifying parts, and flagging non-conformances in real time without stopping the line. It deploys on existing cameras with as few as 20 samples per defect class and is live on your line in 6–8 weeks.
At the booth: see automated defect detection, surface inspection, and part verification running live.
NAGARE™ — AI for Process Integrity
NAGARE verifies every process step against SOPs and quality rules in real time — guiding operators through the correct sequence, catching deviations before they become defects, and adapting as processes change without re-engineering. No new camera infrastructure required. Live on your line in as little as 4 weeks.
At the booth: use case demonstrations covering assembly verification, kitting, packing, and digital poka-yoke.
Who Should Visit
JIDOKA's solutions are built for manufacturers working on:
- Eliminating assembly errors and defect escapes
- Automating visual inspection without specialist machine learning expertise
- Building quality into the process rather than catching it at end-of-line
- Standardising operator workflows across shifts and stations
- Increasing production traceability and first-pass yield
- Meeting Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing targets
If you are a Manufacturing Engineer, Production Manager, Plant Manager, Quality Manager, Factory Automation Engineer, or Operations Executive, the JIDOKA booth is worth a stop.
Why First-Time-Right
Most quality systems were built to catch defects, not prevent them. They inspect the output. They do not verify the process that produced it.
KOMPASS closes the product layer — every unit inspected inline, at speed, without human variability. NAGARE closes the process layer — every step verified in real time, before an error becomes a defect. Together, they eliminate the two-layer gap that keeps quality reactive.
That is what First-Time-Right manufacturing actually requires. Not better inspection. Built-in quality from the first part to the last.
Schedule a Meeting
Come to the JIDOKA booth in the Element Technology Zone. We will walk you through the live demos and give you a straight answer on whether KOMPASS, NAGARE, or both make sense for your line.
