As part of the new employee training curriculum, we visited Asahi Beverages Akashi Factory. We would like to express our gratitude to Manager Yamade and all the staff members for their kind and thoughtful support during our visit.

I had a strong impression that Asahi Beverages’ factories were highly automated, and my visit to the Akashi Factory confirmed this. From the initial filtration process to the final inspection, everything is carried out by machines. I believe this level of automation has resulted in significant labor savings for the company.

Although our company deals with different raw materials than a beverage manufacturer, I am now wondering whether it would be possible for us to achieve full automation in our own operations. The level of efficiency and precision that automation provides is impressive, and I am interested in exploring how we could potentially adopt similar technology in our own production processes.

Although I frequently hear terms like recycling and SDGs, I hadn’t fully appreciated their significance until I saw the environmental processes at the Asahi Beverages Akashi Factory. Witnessing the steps they take to reduce waste and conserve resources left a strong impression on me.

Going forward, I hope to adopt the spirit of “mottainai” (waste not, want not) in my own life and treat everything with greater care and respect. It is essential that we all do our part to protect our planet and create a sustainable future, and my visit to the factory has motivated me to be more conscious of my own environmental impact.
