Shiseido has announced that they are aiming to establish a new form of manufacturing through a “collaboration of humans and robots,” which addresses the issues of a shrinking workforce and the complexities that can be involved with multiple components used in cosmetic packaging.
 
The company recently introduced a pilot program of deploying industrial humanoid robots on the assembly lines of makeup products at its Kakegawa factory, claiming it to be the first time in the world among cosmetics companies.
 
In this factory, one human worker and two humanoid robots work together to assemble various parts of varied shapes and materials, delivering finished products. While humanoid robots cover the procedures that are hard to be automated with conventional machines and existing industrial robots, the human worker focuses on inspection of minor defects such as scratches, assuring the quality of products. Through “collaboration of humans and robots”, Shiseido says it safeguards its future by providing against changes in the social environment such as declining workforce, and aims to establish a new form of manufacturing that responds to the market changes more swiftly and flexibly.
