UNIFACE Co., Ltd.
Information & Communication
Company Overview / Who We Are
We are a system company specializing in services used in manufacturing plants, and we are engaged in "package development" and "contracted system development".
Our strength lies in our ability to collect and utilize data from fundamental technologies (PLC, sensors, communication control from equipment).
▼Future Prospects
If the production control system is the backbone of a company, the "Manufacturing Execution System MES (Manufacturing Execution System)" is the backbone of a factory.
We believe that this will be an important area in the future on a global scale.
We are marketing proprietary package 【IB-Mes】in Japan, one of the world's leading manufacturing countries, and plan to expand overseas in 3 years.
Our goal is to bring 【IB-Mes】, from Aichi, a manufacturing prefecture, to the world, and to bring about a revolution not only in Japan but also in the world.
As a first step, we hired our first non-Japanese (Vietnamese) engineer last year, and we localized the 【IB-Mes】into multiple languages (English and Vietnamese).
