Kao Corporation has developed a dynamic cell production system that enables efficient high-mix low-volume manufacturing in collaboration with B&R K.K. and Kyoto Seisakusho Co., Ltd. and recently introduced it at the Odawara Plant (Kao Cosmetics Products Odawara) in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is the Kao Group's global cosmetics supply base.

Test operations will be finished by the end of 2023, and operations will begin in stages beginning in early 2024 for the production of cosmetics, which frequently involve small quantities and a wide range of products. Simultaneously, Kao will develop material supply automation and aims to establish technology as soon as possible.
