Discussing Resilient Manufacturing DX Infrastructure at “COI Conference 2026,” Hosted by RYODEN Corporation
Zenport Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Fumiyuki Ota; hereinafter referred to as “Zenport”) is pleased to announce that it will be a featured speaker at the “COI Conference 2026” (hosted by RYODEN Corporation) on March 13, 2026.
Amid the contraction of the domestic market and the multi-polarization of growth markets, the manufacturing industry is being forced to adapt to a “new quality of globalization.” Supply chains are evolving from linear “Hub” structures (e.g., Japan–US) into “Web” structures that span regions such as US–India, China–Southeast Asia, and India–Middle East/Europe.
As these networks become increasingly complex, traditional ERP/core system integrations often require immense time, investment, and effort, making it difficult for companies to respond quickly to change.
In this presentation, Zenport will address the theme of “Global Supply Chain Management Infrastructure in the Transition from Hub to Web.” We will propose an approach to building a resilient manufacturing DX foundation that minimizes the burden of system integration while maximizing adaptability.
