Using original PC software (CATIA-based 3D-CAD), you can virtually experience the production line at Toyota Motor Corporation's factory.
This job involves considering and setting up robot movements in a game-like manner.
For example, this can be learned if one can grasp the spatial awareness of "When viewed from this angle, this robot and the other robot are not in contact, but when viewed from this angle, they are in contact."
It's especially easy to learn for those who are used to seeing 3D objects in games, even if you have no prior work experience.
The robots and equipment used in Toyota's body factories were virtually simulated digitally.
We check the actual product before considering production.
In some cases, we design the "hand" of a robot.
This is an important section that affects the quality and cost of mass-produced products.

A job that involves human lives.
This means high demands on speed and quality.
■Rewarding aspects of the job:
- You will feel great joy when the robot moves according to your input and produces the desired effect.
The joy you feel is similar to that of "beating a game," so anyone who loves games or cars can find it rewarding.
・The idea that I came up with was reflected in the automobile production site, and it produced an effect. When I finally saw the equipment and the cars that I had been involved with actually working,
I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy.
■Procedure after joining the company:
・After joining the company, senior employees of the company will provide constant guidance. If you have any questions, you can ask immediately, and manuals are also provided. The majority of new employees say that "everyone is kind and teaches me."
The training program is tailored to each individual's skills.
・It will probably take about 1 to 2 years for them to be able to stand on their own.
■Examples of education and training:
◇First 2 weeks after joining the company: Learn about workplace rules (safety and health, information security), cars (product structure, basic knowledge of names), the car production process, welding basics, and equipment parts
◇3 to 4 weeks: 3D CAD operation (starting, saving, operating, how to move the robot, registering posture, etc.)
◇ Weeks 5-7: Explanation of preparatory work, exercises, mock exercises
The first 3 to 4 months will focus on mock exercises and mock designs, with the idea being to gradually get closer to practical application.
