Technology & Production
Customer needs are the starting point of JUKI’s business.
Delivering good impressions and peace of mind to customers is JUKI’s business goal.
Taking the “realization of customer demands” as the starting point
JUKI has inherited its art-of-manufacturing (MONODZUKURI) DNA from its origins, a company that has striven to “realize customer demands” from the very beginning.
JUKI has attained the world’s top achievements and numerous “world firsts” by getting close to the emotions of the JUKI product users, solving their problems one by one locally, and giving them products and services that more than satisfy their needs.
The JUKI of today promotes the smartification of customer factories with systems and solutions supported by AI and IoT.
JUKI helps to grow its customers’ businesses, solve their management issues, and maximize their social value.
Technological development capacity
Responding to the daily demands in customer factories
JUKI’s technology development departments respond to the daily demands in customer factories for solutions that improve productivity and quality, save labor, deskill production lines, simplify and improve the worker experience, and save space.
JUKI is also working on the smartification of whole factories through automation and systematization.
Technology Development Initiatives
JUKI develops technologies that help solve the needs and problems of customers and develops innovative solutions to cope with social challenges such as carbon neutrality.
Core technologies
JUKI’s core technologies are directly integrated into products and systems that improve productivity and quality.
Testing and evaluation to support product development
JUKI conducts various tests and evaluations to ensure that its products operate stably in the wide-ranging environments in which they are deployed in the world.
Intellectual property
In planning and operating its intellectual property strategies, JUKI plays both “offense” (accumulate and use intellectual property) and “defense” (respect the rights of third parties) stance.
Design
JUKI achieves user-friendly designs by pursuing the concepts of “Collaboration with People” and “People-friendly Designs.”
Production capacity
The core aim of “made by JUKI” manufacturing is to strictly guarantee that “100% of JUKI products meet high standards of quality.”
JUKI evolves “manufacturing (MONODZUKURI)” through global production strategies and the promotion of DX (Digital Transformation) and GX (Green Transformation) in factories. DX and GX innovations are enhancing JUKI’s core competencies throughout all of the processes in JUKI’s vertical integrated production system, from casting and processing to final assembly.
Initiatives in Production
JUKI makes factories smarter through robotization and digitalization based on “5S + Safety + QCD”.
Quality Management
JUKI manufacturing prioritizes quality in accordance with the core management policy of “Promoting Total Quality Management.”
Procurement
The procurement activities conducted by JUKI worldwide adhere to three essential guidelines: “compliance with laws and regulations,” “coexistence and co-prosperity” and “equal and fair evaluation and selection.”
