Technoa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, President: Koji Yamazaki, hereinafter "Technoa") announced today that it has entered into a business partnership with MISUMI Group Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Shin Shimizu, hereinafter "MISUMI") and DAIKO XTECH Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Koichiro Matsuyama, hereinafter "DXT") on June 30, 2026. We will begin offering "TECHS-S NOA," a production management system for individual order manufacturing for small and medium-sized manufacturers, which connects to MISUMI's product database via API. This initiative is the first consortium model to enable limited integration between MISUMI's extensive product database, Technoa's "TECHS-S NOA," and DXT's "rBOM." It aims to establish a new industry standard for streamlining parts procurement and accelerate DX in the manufacturing industry. ■ Procurement Site Strain and the Limits of "Individual Company DX" The procurement of production materials is a core process essential for manufacturing. While the complexity of operations is high due to a wide variety of suppliers, items, and order conditions, maintaining product master data and integrating external data requires specialized technical knowledge. For small and medium-sized manufacturers facing severe labor and time shortages, promoting DX independently has not been easy. In response to these challenges, Technoa and DXT, with a combined domestic implementation record of over 4,700 companies in the production management system field, and MISUMI, one of Japan's leading production materials platforms with a product database of over 30 million items ranging from machine parts to consumables, will collaborate to transform the procurement processes and promote DX for small and medium-sized manufacturers. ■ Aiming for Productivity Up to Twice as High with a "Mechanism to Directly Connect" to the MISUMI Product Database Production management systems are primarily used f
