Our goal is to provide more efficient production with advanced technologies and to gain a global competitive advantage. MEXT has a unique Capability Building program where the world's largest digital transformation and competency development center designs training programs tailored to senior/intermediate managers, engineers, experts and field workers. In order to show the added value of digital applications in these training programs, MEXT provides a factory experience where data is not used effectively in the trainings, as old version production lines. Then we show the flow in which digital transformation solutions are integrated on the same line. In this way, employees have the opportunity to compare and experience before and after digital transformation.
