KIMOTO Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Inabe City, Mie Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Shoichi Kobayashi) will speak at the online event “Otsuka & Autodesk Collaboration Day 2026,” hosted by Otsuka Corporation on Thursday, May 21, 2026. In BIM/CIM data creation, complex operations and repetitive tasks can increase workloads and lead to human error. In this seminar, KIMOTO will introduce the “KIMOTO Toolbar,” an operational efficiency tool the company has developed and used in practical work. The session will explain, with concrete examples, how simplifying operation steps and automating repetitive tasks can support greater efficiency in BIM/CIM workflows. KIMOTO has achieved an internal track record of reducing work time by about one quarter through these initiatives. The seminar will share practical improvement points for people interested in improving BIM/CIM efficiency and stabilizing quality. “Otsuka & Autodesk Collaboration Day 2026” is hosted by Otsuka Corporation with special sponsorship from Autodesk Japan. The event targets the construction, civil engineering, and manufacturing industries, offering seminars on operational efficiency and productivity improvement through AI and the latest technologies. It will be held online from 10:00 to 17:00 on Thursday, May 21, 2026, with keynote sessions and industry-specific sessions planned. KIMOTO will speak in a civil engineering session. KIMOTO’s session will be held from 15:30 to 16:00 on Thursday, May 21, 2026, in the civil engineering track PM-D3 (Intermediate, Case Study/Technical). The session title is “Achieving a One-Quarter Reduction in Work Time: The KIMOTO Toolbar for Improving BIM/CIM Efficiency.” The presentation will cover practical workflow improvements using the KIMOTO Toolbar, developed through hands-on operations. Topics include reducing workload by simplifying operation steps, shortening work time by automating repetitive tasks, and stabilizing quality by reducing human error. The semin
