Hello there. This is President Yasui, running a company mainly engaged in inspections of high-pressure gas facilities as a solo entrepreneur.
When a field job finishes a little earlier than expected, I get extra time for office work, which is always nice. Lately, I’ve been plotting to squeeze in yet another new activity during those hours, so I’m curious to see how that unfolds. Of course, I keep in mind not to overdo things, but I do want to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
We’ve also been handling dealership work for Kagura Vapotech. Thankfully, we’ve recently been blessed with many opportunities to take on their projects.
There’s a product called BAiO, which is a bulk tank equipped with a vaporizer. The other day, I worked on replacing its regulator. It’s a piece of equipment where a single wrong operation could stop the gas supply altogether, so the job required patience—checking each condition one by one and only proceeding once everything was confirmed.
Since it’s an eco-friendly product that supplies only vapor when gas consumption is high and pressure doesn’t drop, the vaporizer usually remains inactive. In fact, depending on the situation, even during heavy winter loads, it may be able to rely solely on natural vaporization.
Because we sometimes need to force the vaporizer to operate, carefully verifying every detail while keeping the gas flowing becomes essential. Being able to perform maintenance without shutting off the gas is really impressive, isn’t it? And executing it properly—it’s so standard for us that it almost doesn’t feel worth bragging about, haha.
Still, since this isn’t a frequent task, I can’t help but think how tough it would be if Kagura’s assignments only came once every two or three months.
It’s precisely because we regularly handle their products and maintain contact with their inspection team that we’re able to grasp the key points and carry out the work effectively.
That’s why sheer repetition—handling more cases, becoming familiar with the tasks and equipment—is crucial. Observing normal operating conditions, listening earnestly to customer feedback and questions, and thinking seriously about the on-site realities in front of us.
That’s how we accumulate real expertise. Sure, at first we might be just a clumsy, low-tier agency, but by racking up experience, we can grow into a truly indispensable presence.
Repetition also increases our touchpoints with sales reps and manufacturers, which helps us avoid the risk of being forgotten. So, from both technical and business perspectives, putting in the numbers is absolutely vital.
Even when tackling something new, the principle remains the same: do it in volume. That’s the essence. By producing lots of deliverables, skills will naturally improve over time. Let’s keep pushing forward!
