Juchheim’s AI Initiatives, Supported by Plus W, Featured in Nikkei

Juchheim Co., Ltd., whose AI development is supported by Plus W Inc., was featured in the Kobe Economy special section of Nikkei’s October 28, 2026 morning edition.

The article highlights Juchheim’s AI-powered baumkuchen oven, “THEO,” as an example of how companies in Kobe are applying AI. It explores how THEO reproduces the techniques of skilled craftspeople, making confectionery production accessible to people with limited experience.

Through AI development support, Plus W helps Juchheim preserve and pass on its craftsmanship and create opportunities for more people to pursue confectionery making. We will continue to support these efforts through technology development.
