Corporate Philosophy


We will contribute to society as a robot system integrator, supporting the development of robot control software and robot applications in order to widely spread industrial robots and service robots in Japan and around the world.


Our Mission


To put it simply, our mission is

to contribute to society through robots that make full use of effective utilization technologies.

Industrial robots are used all over the world. They have various applications such as welding, painting, deburring, and polishing. The widespread use of these robots in many factories, including automobile plants, has contributed to production activities and has contributed to society.

Currently, there are more than 2.7 million industrial robots in use around the world. Of these, about 355,000 robots are used in Japan (2019). These robots have been used in major factories, but are expected to become more widespread in small and medium-sized factories. Service robots are also being created and used in a wide variety of fields such as welfare and rescue.

We have been selling our off-line teaching software RobotWorks in Japan for about 15 years already, and now we are selling and developing our own RoboPath, and we are the pioneer of this kind of robot software in Japan.

A robot cannot move without teaching (instruction). It is just a piece of scrap iron. However, once a robot is taught how to operate, it can do more than Superman. It can carry tons of heavy loads to a specific location or pack them in boxes. It can also fit a very small part into a specific place on another part.

Normally, robots are operated directly with a pendant (a kind of 3-D mouse) for teaching, but this off-line teaching is software that uses CAD (3-D graphic processing software) built into a PC to specify and teach the robot's movements (in terms of the position and posture of the robot tip). Therefore, since the robot is not moved directly (this is called off-line), there is no waste of resources (robot), and anyone who knows CAD can operate it easily. RobotWorks has achieved this at a low price.

We also provide support for newly developed robot control (robot motion control, robot position and attitude control, robot vibration control, etc.). We also assist robot manufacturers in introducing robots and developing applications. In addition, our main mission is to realize welding line tracking and optimal automatic welding for (arc and laser) welding using cameras.

We have been focusing on welding robots, and in 2017, we completed the development of a welding line tracking and control robot system under the Robot System Integrator Training Program of the Japan Robot Association, and are selling it as "WeldPath1". In 2011, we completed the development of "Arc Welding Automation System" as a subsidized project by Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Association, and sold it as "WeldPath-2". Furthermore, we have completed the development of RoboPath, an off-line teaching software, as a subsidized project by Shinagawa Ward in 2020.
