Toward Zero
Research into advanced medical treatment is constantly yielding new therapies and remedies. But even today, with the latest that modern medicine has to offer, many diseases remain difficult to cure because their causes have yet to be identified. Great leaps forward are expected in drug discovery, which yields new pharmaceuticals, and from such fields as regenerative medicine, which enables the body to repair, replace, restore and regenerate damaged or diseased cells, tissues and organs.
Meanwhile, hospitals and other facilities providing healthcare services await practical access to medical-use robots, which have the potential to save more lives through early detection of illness, reduce the physical burden that currently accompanies surgery and courses of drug therapy through minimally invasive treatment to promote a quicker recovery, and support medical personnel.
KHI seeks to acquire the ability to open up new possibilities for customers and communities through diverse technology-based solutions. Just what do we have at KHI to promote growth in the areas of pharmaceuticals and medicine? Well, we developed a robot for drug dispensing and manufacturing by applying the experience and expertise we had accumulated in automating operations at production sites making a variety of products. Designed to have a flat, smooth surface and excellent chemical resistance, this robot contributes to faster operation and improved work environments. In addition, this robot essentially eliminates the risk of human error and bacterial contamination in operation.
In other pursuits, we have been exploring possible applications of various core proprietary technologies, mainly in robotics and plant and infrastructure construction, for use in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. We devised an automated cell culture system for cultivating such cells as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.* The system will contribute to an environment conducive to safe and stable culturing of human cells for practical use in regenerative medicine.
We also invested equally with Sysmex Corporation to establish Medicaroid Corporation, a marketing company covering the development, manufacture and sale of medical-use robots.

Society is graying, but as the population ages, everyone—patients, people who work in the medical fields, and patients’ families—will live comfortably and have access to good healthcare. That is our view of the future, supported by expectations heralded by advances in robots for use in developing new drugs, facilitating regenerative medicine and providing medical treatment to save more lives.
We will continue to refine our technological skills with an eye to the future to fuel progress in research toward new destinations in the areas of pharmaceuticals and medical.
Contributing to Debelopment of Agriculture in Asia
26.28 million hectares
With about half its population engaged in the agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors, Pakistan is a major agricultural nation and the world’s fourth-largest producer of wheat.
Approximately one-third of its land area, or 26.28 million hectares, is devoted to agriculture.
To improve the soil of this vast area and improve yields, securing supplies of fertilizer in huge quantities is a very important priority.
KHI won a contract to provide industrial equipment including a facility for manufacturing urea, the raw material from which fertilizer is made. This facility therefore plays an especially important role in the country’s largest fertilizer plant. The facility was handed over in 2009 and is contributing to not only Pakistan’s agricultural development but also the livelihoods of farming families.
In the years ahead, KHI will continue with manufacturing activities to support the livelihoods of people around the world.
Urea Manufacturing Facility for Fertilizer Plant of Fatima Fertilizer Company Ltd.
Fatima Fertilizer Company Ltd. has built Pakistan’s largest fertilizer plant on the outskirts of the city of Sadiqabad in the country’s central region. Using the natural gas produced in the nearby Mari gas field as raw material, it manufactures urea and a range of other synthetic fertilizers from ammonia. The equipment delivered by KHI is the core facility of the factory and produces 1,500 tons of urea a day. KHI was also commissioned with engineering and project management operations for the rest of the plant’s fertilizer manufacturing facilities.
