Yaskawa Electric Miraikan

[Outline of the project]

In 2015, to commemorate its 100th anniversary, Yaskawa Electric reorganized Head Office headquarters in Kurosaki, Kitakyushu City, and opened "Robot Village," a community open to the local area and society. "YASKAWA Forest," where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the seasons, is open to the public, and at its heart is the "Yaskawa Electric Future Museum," where customers, schools, research institutions, and local residents can experience Yaskawa Electric's business, the fun, amazing, and meticulous aspects of manufacturing, and the latest robotics technology in an engaging way.

Therefore, our company was in charge of creating the "space" and "content" for this facility to further highlight the appeal of Yaskawa Electric Corporation. Not only can all visitors easily experience and feel Yaskawa Electric's business and technology, but we also designed the space to be filled with surprises and discoveries where cutting-edge technology and emotional sensibilities resonate, allowing them to feel firsthand the future of Japan's world-class "monozukuri" (manufacturing) and Yaskawa Electric, which is leading it. concept design integrated all the elements that color the space, such as mechatronics, video content, and lighting. In particular, the "Robotics Signage," which utilizes the dynamic movements and coordinated control technology of Yaskawa Electric's representative industrial robots, and the "Mechatronics Wall," which combines the 3D control of industry-leading motors with the latest projection mapping images, are unique spatial presentation devices that stimulate all the senses of all who see them, and we helped to infinitely expand the possibilities and appeal of "monozukuri."

Furthermore, for this facility, we assisted with the entire process, from the basic concept of creating an attractive space concept design, planning, content creation, and construction, from a comprehensive perspective.
