Directly after Japan’s east coast was hit by an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale in 2011, pharmacist Yukiko sprung into action, working to help those in her community recover with urgently needed supplies. Today, new autonomous systems are in place to help affected communities rebuild after natural disasters, allowing healthcare workers to help even more of the affected communities and building resilience.

Produced for Daifuku as part of the Age of Automation series.
