Apart from that, we are working to introduce robots. We have created a fully automatic line that covers the processes of producing products, packing them in plastic bags, preparing cardboard boxes and putting the packed products into the boxes. We are thinking of introducing 15 such lines by March next year. According to our calculations, they will help reduce the number of staff by around 80. However, robots still cannot do everything. Rectangular trays are the easiest to handle and are managed by robots, but this is not viable if the number of lots is insufficient. It is still difficult for robots to respond flexibly to different types of trays. Given that companies producing a large number of lots can lower their costs, I think that the gap between those with numerous lots and those with limited lots will become wider.
