The Thing That Doesn't Change in the Era When Everything Is About to Change

We, Sanko Electronics (Thailand) Company Limited, are a
manufacturer of wire harness asseblies, mainly, for automobiles.
Being taught by the customers with the strict perspectives about
the responsibility for the products which relate to human lives,
we have grown up until today, owing to that.
Well, in production activities, I think people are aiming at manpower-saving
or labour-saving through factory automation. Of course, up to the moment,
every company is aiming for accomplishing such the idea.
I think it's not due to the pursuit of production efficiency only, but it is also due to the other factors : shortage of labour owing to population ageing,
soaring labour costs, etc.
However, up to now, the more artificial intelligence (AI) development is achieved,
the more the way of thinking about it or approaching it is led to the new phases.
"We can do it with few people!"or"We don't need any more human labour!"... Such
the era is coming.
Nevertheless, in spite of such the situation, we, Sanko Group, are a group of
companies which have been being able to provide our customers with "what just only human possesses" up to now and from now on too.
We are the companies which can serve the customers with "their wants"
in the appropriate time, eventhough they have not come to the surface or
eventhough the of them have not been fully collected and made visible
concretely, since we always take the customers' thoughts into consideration one step ahead.
We can do that because we have valued "human" more than anything, and
have pursued what only "human" can do.
First of all, we care about our employees,imagining their future and sharing it,
and then practice the primary way of association with "people" which we
percept naturally by doing it. And we do the same thing with our customers.
We have committed ourselves not to overlook what may disappears at any
time due to automation.
Turning to the original concept "human", it doesn't mean we refuse all
systems. We, including all of our employees, just try to live as human-beings
with fresh-and-blood.
Sincerity, faith, compassion …. It may take some more time for AI to learn the
real meanings of these words, I think.
