Product Life Cycle Design
We study design methodologies for industrial products such as automobiles, home appliances, and computers — not only focusing on the products themselves but also on their entire life cycles.
Design of Sustainable Society Scenarios
We conduct research on design methodologies for creating and visualizing scenarios that represent future sustainable societies.
Digital Triplet
In the era of digital transformation in manufacturing, the Digital Triplet concept has been proposed to enhance and support the intellectual activities of engineers on the production floor — a traditional strength of Japan’s industry.
Our research focuses on developing and evaluating methods to assist such engineering activities based on this concept.
Conceptual Design Support
Our research focuses on developing methodologies for supporting conceptual design, with an emphasis on functional modeling.
Life Cycle Engineering, with a Focus on Maintenance
Our research focuses on methodologies for managing the entire life cycle of products, with particular emphasis on maintenance.
