It is from editorials published in today's Sankei Shimbun ... the title is below.
Make change a source of growth, the economic recovery that the people realize.
Preamble abridgment.
‘QR’ developed by Japan
For cashless settlement for consumers, there are advantages such as easy settlement and easier access to shopping products later.
Retailers can save time to prepare for change and store daily sales proceeds.
Many business operators now propose new standards and are struggling to enclose users.
We want to make smart choices.
So, the worldwide attention is QR code.
If you read a rectangular geometric pattern with a smartphone, the settlement is completed on the spot.
In December last year, ‘PayPay’ which SOFTBANK and Yahoo Japan invested contributed 10-billion-yen reduction campaign, and a long queue was made at home electronics mass merchants.
It was DENSO of the Toyota group that developed the QR code widely adopted in such settlements.
‘Kanban method’ which manages thousands of automotive parts efficiently and produces it is famous, but the company developed a QR code as a new system with 10 times the information quantity of the barcode in order to digitize it .
And the company opened it free of charge and spread explosively in the world.
* Westerners who invented www and opened it for free and DENSO are the greatest modern people *
It is also used in stalls and money offerings in China, supporting the high level of Japanese companies' technical capabilities.
The outlook for the global economy of this year is not bright as there is an influence such as intensified trade friction between the United States and China.
However, it is likely that companies and individuals will be asked to adapt to changes in such times.
It is also what Japan has always been good at during a major transformation period.
We will actively incorporate new technologies and want to make the next growth.
* Most people around the world just knew that the QR code was DENSO 's invention for the first time.
In addition, I will tell you in Norwegian today, since people in Norway's Braathens aviation will not know just one person.
I will inform you also in French because it is Cannes that unanimously awarded gold medals to the ridiculous CM produced by this airline.
I remembered a memento that I heard from close friends before long ago when I read this article.
"Because you are a person who is familiar with various things, I hear it ... Actually, my older brother is a student at Osaka University and he is currently in Job hunting ... He is going to receive a company called DENSO, is this company a good company? "
Not only a good company but also one of the automobile parts manufacturers is one of the world's best companies, it is NO1 company among the Toyota Group, which has the highest technical capabilities. If your older brother is okay, it can decide by haste. That's the best company.
