Yaskawa Electric Miraikan

[Outline of the project]

In 2015, Yaskawa Electric Corporation, which celebrated its 100th anniversary, reorganized its head office located in Kurosaki, Kitakyushu City, and opened the “Robot Village,” a community open to the local community and society. The YASKAWA Forest is open to the public, where you can enjoy the nature of the four seasons. The “Yaskawa Electric Miraikan” was born so that research institutes and local people can experience it with interest.

Therefore, we were in charge of creating a space and content for this facility that would bring out the appeal of Yaskawa Electric. In addition to allowing all visiting guests to experience and experience Yaskawa Electric's businesses and technologies in an easy-to-understand manner, it is a space filled with surprises and discoveries where cutting-edge technology and emotional sensibilities resonate. We have integrated all the elements that color the space, such as concept design, video content, and lighting, so that you can feel the world-class Japanese manufacturing and the future of Yaskawa Electric, which is the driving force behind it. In particular, there is a “robotics signage” that utilizes control technology that coordinates with the dynamic movements of industrial robots representing Yaskawa Electric, and a combination of 3D motor control that demonstrates the industry's highest performance and the latest projection mapping video. The "Mechatronics Wall" is a space production device that is unique in the world and stimulates the five senses of all who see it.

For this facility, we have assisted in building the facility from a total perspective, from the basic concept of space creation and attractiveness to concept design, design, content planning and production, and construction.
