Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

A total of 42 people are currently scheduled to participate in Real Entertainment's Slope Management Seminar.

I'm a little freaked out because there's more than I expected, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway.

But that's beside the point.

Did you know this? lol

If you looked at this and thought, “Ah!”—you’re amazing!

 

This is a jig for removing the accumulator.

Accumulators are essential for hydraulic systems, aren't they?

This photo shows a battery attached to it.

Do you know where this is?

If you're familiar with it, you'll probably figure it out right away.

This is it.

It's a jig for removing the accumulator, but you can't actually find one like this in stores, lol.

So I had no choice but to make it myself, lol

I imagine that the maintenance staff at each company are probably making jigs.

 

Given the current situation in Japan, it’s becoming increasingly likely that there won’t even be anyone left to repair machines.

The "2024 Problem" isn't limited to the construction industry alone.

The same goes for the factories that manufacture the machinery we use.

The workforce is dwindling rapidly, and Japan's technological era is coming to an end.

 

So I guess from now on, we'll have no choice but to force ourselves to use foreign products.

More and more parts and machinery that are no longer manufactured in Japan are appearing on the market.

Not only does the labor shortage seem likely to worsen, but the shortage of machinery also appears to be accelerating, so we need to figure out how to respond to this.

I’m starting to think that if I don’t keep my eyes on the prize, I might not even be able to land any work.

 

There's definitely a good chance the engine gun could make a comeback, right? lol

I hear there are still some places that use machine guns—or maybe not, lol.

 

I think it's best to have the technical expertise to repair our own machinery in-house whenever possible.

How about your company?

Are all repairs outsourced?

While it's important to make the most of our subcontractors, it's also important to retain technical expertise within our company.

It’s best to make good use of both in-house and outsourced resources so that both can thrive.

It's really tough these days, with repair shops disappearing one after another, isn't it?

It seems machinery manufacturers are having a tough time, too.

That’s exactly why it’s better to try to do as much as possible in-house

I wonder if it's for the future.

 

See you later.
