Manufacturing Expo 2022 in Bangkok was held for the first time in three years, and PATLITE (Thailand) was fully ready to exhibit. It attracted 58,000 visitors to the entire exhibition and 2,746 people to the PATLITE booth over the four days. Considering that the last time the exhibition was held in 2019, the overall number of exhibition visitors was 90,000 and the number of booth visitors was less than 2,000, it is evident that this year's turnout rate for the booth was higher than the previous show. In this article, we will introduce the products and solutions exhibited at the booth.

Proposal of solutions according to the stage of customer's KAIZEN activities

The impact of the Corona pandemic has led to a rapid growth in demand for IoT applications in the manufacturing industry, such as improving production efficiency through labor savings and remote monitoring of production lines. In response to such demand, PATLITE (Thailand) has been focusing in recent years not on the sale of individual products, but on the “sale of the system” as solutions that can contribute to solving customers' problems. There are various phases of "visualization," and the most appropriate tools and solutions differ depending on the issue. MD Kobori believes that being able to make proposals that match the stage of customer's KAIZEN activities is one of PATLITE's strengths and mission.
