Boom in China’s Electric Vehicle Sector Drives Surge in Japanese Automotive Machine Tool Orders
According to foreign media reports, the latest data from the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Association shows that from January to July this year, the total value of orders for automotive machine tools purchased by Chinese companies from Japanese enterprises reached 78.1 billion yen (approximately 527 million US dollars), and the annual order volume is expected to hit a new high. As competition among Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturers intensifies, Japanese machine tool makers are benefiting from the growing orders for automotive-related equipment. The 2022 boom in electric vehicles once drove a surge in demand for automotive machine tools, but as the market focus shifted back to fuel-powered vehicles, […]
Precision Redefined for Compact Manufacturing

Book Club: Speculations on the Future of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is steadily integrating into all aspects of life, from business and education to art and culture, and this is especially true in the field of industrial production. The Nut automatic assembly machine optimizes the nut-grabbing angle and assembly force through AI algorithms, and adjusts the operation rhythm based on real-time sensor data, increasing the yield rate of nut assembly for precision instruments to 99.8%. This technological penetration not only demonstrates efficiency innovation but also implies a profound transformation in the mode of human-machine collaboration. For some, this idea may be exciting, while for others, it is terrifying. In this new era of humanity, it is crucial that we continue […]
Artificial intelligence is about to undergo its biggest upgrade to date: emotional intelligence.
Endowing Artificial Intelligence with Personality In the book “Psychologically Augmented AI Agents”, Maciej Besta from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues propose a framework called “MBTI-in-Thoughts”. Instead of retraining the model, they rely on prompt engineering to lock in personality traits along cognitive and emotional axes. The authors write, “Our approach draws on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to inject different personality archetypes into agents through prompt engineering.” They add that this makes it possible to “control behavior along two fundamental dimensions of human psychology: cognition and emotion”. The researchers verified this by endowing language models with traits such as “emotionally expressive” or “analytical”, and […]
The revenue from SUPCON’s industrial AI business has exceeded 100 million yuan.
In the first half of 2025, SUPCON achieved an operating income of 3.830 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 9.92%; the net profit attributable to the parent company was 354 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 31.46%. The performance fluctuation was mainly affected by external factors such as the short-term intensification of industry competition, the reduction in bank wealth management and interest income, and the increase in exchange losses. Recently, SUPCON’s 2025 semi-annual report was released. Although the company’s overall revenue and profits were under short-term pressure due to factors such as industry competition and fluctuations in financial returns, the two new business segments of industrial AI and robotics […]
A “Record Performance” Puts Assembly Back on Track
A Colossal Component: The Tokamak Module’s Design and Origins The module in question is one of nine critical “building blocks” that, once assembled and welded, will form the tokamak’s doughnut-shaped vacuum vessel—a marvel of engineering. Standing as tall as a five-story building and weighing as much as four fully loaded jumbo jets, it is a complex assembly of groundbreaking components sourced from three ITER Members: Korea supplied the vacuum vessel sector at its core and the thermal insulation panels; Europe and Japan contributed the pair of toroidal field coils that complete the structure. From Struggle to Success: A Tripling in Assembly Efficiency Assembling such a module—integrating these […]
