Production Engineering
Production engineering capabilities pursued to be the best of the best
At Aisin, we combine the manufacturing expertise developed on the shop floor with DX to create an environment where diverse talent can thrive. By linking information on processes, equipment, and people, we promote the visualization and transfer of knowledge and skills, aiming for sustainable growth. We continuously innovate original manufacturing methods and production equipment that support next-generation products, while also focusing on building a production system that stably supplies high-quality products globally and developing manufacturing professionals who can thrive worldwide.
Developing innovative industrial processes and equipment
1. Research and Development
We conduct research and development of new technologies and industrial processes necessary for production.
2. Evaluation through prototyping
In product evaluation and production preparation, we produce prototypes as needed. By using innovative technologies such as fabrication with large-scale metal 3D printers and digital technologies, we have achieved a significant reduction in evaluation time compared with conventional methods.
3. Industrial process design
We design a series of processes to complete a product by optimally combining materials, equipment, and people. We work to use advanced digital technology to start new lines efficiently in the shortest possible time.
4. Equipment design
We develop, design, and assemble equipment. As with industrial process design, we promote efficiency in development through the use of digital technology. In addition to adopting advanced technology, we also incorporate traditional Japanese "karakuri" technology to create environmentally friendly equipment.
5. Preparation for production
Equipment is installed in the plant to launch production. We adjust the equipment to ensure that the production line runs as planned, preparing for mass production.
6. Mass production
After mass production begins, we will work with the production site to ensure stable equipment operation and production. On a production line where digital technology and people are integrated, we will continually improve equipment and the production line, aiming to achieve outstanding quality.
Deploying highly reliable equipment globally
We develop production equipment at two domestic bases and deploy globally the innovative technology and highly reliable equipment created there. We have built a system that allows us to produce high-quality products anywhere in the world.

Cultivating human resources for monozukuri
Based on the idea that human resource development forms the foundation for monozukuri, we concentrate our efforts on fostering these individuals so that they may pass on Aisin's long-cultivaved knowledge and expertise to the next generation as well as adopt new education fields that respond to changing times, such as AI.
