[Orgatec Tokyo 2022] Exhibition 丨Exclusive Booth & Experience Zone

Orgatec Tokyo

Orgatec Tokyo 2022 was held over three days, and iPresence was able to secure exhibition space for the entire period.

Orgatec is an office furniture trade fair that started in Cologne, Germany in 1953, and is the world's largest international trade fair.

The venue, Tokyo Big Sight, is located in the waterfront subcenter area, and as soon as you get off the Yurikamome "Tokyo Big Sight Station", you will see a huge inverted triangle monument (conference building).No matter how many times I come, I am overwhelmed by the size of the venue, but I am determined to achieve corporate PR.

At the venue of ORGATEC Tokyo 2022, 1 companies exhibited in the vast space of Tokyo Big Sight South Halls 2 and 66.
iPresence set up a dedicated booth near the entrance of the hall, and was able to exhibit a hands-on office in the "Experience Area".

The dedicated booth for iPresence secures a good position on the street in front of the entrance of the hall.From 10:XNUMX a.m. until the opening of the venue, we were busy with preparations such as setting up the network and telerobo.
Even during that time, there were some people who looked at the telerobo lined up with strange eyes, but the morning of the first day got off to a slow start, and I got the impression that the number of visitors gradually increased from around noon and the excitement increased.

Many people stopped by the free movement of the desk telerobot "kubi", and we were able to get an opportunity to ask questions about the product and iPresence.They also took home a pamphlet and were able to consider using it in their offices.

While there are many advanced and fashionable design furniture in the venue, our company exhibiting robots that move around seems to be rare, and some visitors stopped by and asked about our company.I am very happy that the booth staff were able to respond to many inquiries.

In the experience area, we have prepared a space where you can experience an advanced hybrid office.Telerobo walks around the venue and you can actually touch and operate it so that you can experience the addition of Telerobo to your regular office.
Visitors stop and watch with interest as the telerobo, which has a human face on the screen, moves around.When Telerobo greeted everyone, everyone returned the greeting with a smile.There was also a request to actually operate it, and we received voices such as "fun" and "like being there".

Companies and local governments were also interested in actually seeing Telerobo.
As the number of visitors increased, more and more people flocked to the iPresence telerobo, and the experience area was very lively.

temi

By recognizing the space in the venue in advance, temi can move freely on its own without hitting any obstacles.
There is also a function to recognize and follow people, and it is truly a telerobo that feels innovative.I was able to communicate with the visitors because it was a robot with a low line of sight and an attachment.

Double3

Double3

Double3

Double3 has a stylish appearance, and can move freely forward, backward, left and right on two wheels, and has excellent mobility.
Telerobo has a screen at the height of a person's face, and the height can be adjusted remotely.For that reason, the reaction of the visitors was the best, and it was so popular that there was a crowd.

kubi

kubi is designed with the image of the iPad screen as a human face.Pronounced Kuby, as the name suggests, it moves left and right like a person's neck, and its functionality is attractive because it can also bow.
A computer screen is a flat screen, but by using a kubi that can move its neck freely, it is possible to communicate in three dimensions.

Telepii

Telepii has a cute egg-shaped design that allows you to turn left or right at will, making you feel as if you were there.
A video call can be made simply by placing a smartphone with the dedicated application running, so you can easily enjoy Telerobo at home.

iPresence Telerobo was in full operation at the venue of Orgatec Tokyo 2022.If Telerobo was just on display without moving, visitors would have had a chance to look at it but would not have stopped.
Seeing and experiencing Telerobo in action aroused interest and affection for the product, and many asked for more detailed information.

Among them, temi and Double3 actively moved around the venue and communicated with the visitors.In the experience area, many visitors approached temi and Double3 with deep interest, asking questions about how they work and how they work.

The "International Robot Exhibition" is being held at Tokyo Big Sight, and I am also participating in it for three days. There are various genres such as "medical care", "nursing care", "tourism", and "technology", but we will deliver the innovation of iPresence to many people and provide solutions.
We will continue to actively participate in large-scale events in metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka.

I cherish my hometown of Kobe

iPresence considers the local Kobe as an important place. Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City have supported us as local governments since our founding as Kobe's first venture company in 2014.
The development of the nursing care robot "Care Giro" was greatly supported by the city of Kobe.

I would like to take care of my hometown, which has nurtured iPresence's corporate philosophy, so I will continue to visit local companies and educational sites.I would appreciate it if I could play a part in solving problems in welfare and educational settings.

Orgatec Tokyo 2022 ended on a high note, and it was a fulfilling three days.
It is an honor to be able to exhibit Telerobo in such a fashionable and sophisticated venue, and to spread awareness of iPresence.
I am happy that Nihon Keizai Shimbun posted video news, but I will work together with my employees so that we can have a special feature next time without being complacent about this.
