[Event Participation] Participating in an event for robot system integrators on November 2 (Wednesday)!

For software imitation prevention and tampering protection! We can handle license checks not only online but also in offline environments such as factories without internet access.

As globalization progresses, are you aware that "software licenses" can enhance profitability through different licensing models? On the other hand, issues such as unauthorized copying and infringement of licensing rights, which were not problematic within Japan, pose significant challenges when expanding overseas, necessitating robust countermeasures. [Addressing the following challenges and needs] 1. We want to protect software, applications, and AI models for FA/industrial robots from unauthorized copying and theft. 2. We want to implement not only one-time sales but also subscriptions and additional feature options. 3. We want to prevent reverse engineering and unauthorized modifications of the software. 4. We want to protect the output files created by users in development environment applications. [Reasons why CodeMeter is chosen] ■ Encryption of software without modifying the code ■ Licensing that enables access control and diverse revenue models ■ Scalability of use cases that start small and grow large *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

A useful tool for protecting and encrypting Python applications that are easily decipherable by third parties due to being interpreted.

AxProtector Python is a Python version of the encryption tool provided by CodeMeter, designed to protect Python applications from reverse engineering and unauthorized copying with simple operations. After selecting the files to be protected, there are three options for encryption with AxProtector Python: - Automatically add a license check and encrypt the entire Python application (Basic Settings) - Protect the Python application with modular encryption that allows users to activate features individually (Custom Licensing) - Use AxProtector Python as a shield against reverse engineering (no user license required) (IP Protection Mode) To achieve excellent security, AxProtector Python encrypts Python applications method by method, and during use, decryption/processing occurs only in a protected environment at runtime. This means that the original Python code only temporarily resides in the computer's working memory.

Easily set up a system that uses a USB dongle as a license key for authentication on PCs and devices. Compatible with Win/Mac/Linux.

When developing a software business, it is as important to consider how to provide licenses and authentication as it is to examine licensing models such as subscriptions. 'CodeMeter' enables software protection and licensing, and it can provide created licenses via a USB hardware dongle. By offering licenses through a dongle, software can be used in both online and offline environments, allowing for proper license management. Below are the benefits from the perspective of end users (your customers) when licenses are provided via a dongle: ■ Convenient for portability: The license is stored in the dongle, making it easy to move the license. ■ Easy license recovery: Even if the PC crashes, inserting the dongle into another PC allows immediate access to the software. ■ Convenient for license borrowing: Licenses can be borrowed for use in locations without internet access, such as during business trips or on-site work. ■ License redundancy: Important for mission-critical applications (ideal for hot standby and cold standby).

• Encryption and authentication

We use CodeMeter's automatic encryption tool AxProtector to strongly encrypt applications. *Free trial version available.

■Automation of Protection CodeMeter's automatic encryption tool, AxProtector, is an ideal solution that saves time and effort in software protection. By using AxProtector, you can protect your software in a completely automated manner from unauthorized use and reverse engineering. AxProtector encrypts the entire set of software you want to protect and secures it with AxEngine, a security shell. Then, the best anti-debugging and anti-disassembly methods are inserted into the software. ■Supported OS AxProtector protects executable files and libraries on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also supports Python, .NET, and JavaScript.

With a license, access restrictions are possible.

Standalone applications created using MATLAB Compiler or Simulink Compiler do not require a MATLAB/Simulink license and can be duplicated, making them convenient for free distribution to an unspecified number of people. On the other hand, if you want to implement access control for applications with requirements such as "I want it to be usable during the project period" or "I don't want it to be provided to third parties without permission," what should you do? Should we document the terms of the agreement? If you are doing business within Japan, this method may be somewhat acceptable. However, if you are expanding your business overseas, it is necessary to reconsider. Therefore, in response to concerns about the leakage or copying of code and logic developed in MATLAB, implementing access control through CodeMeter's encryption and license authentication features is effective. Additionally, by attaching conditions such as expiration dates or usage limits to the license, you can sell licenses for the standalone applications you create, which can enhance business profitability.

In this webinar, we will explain "Why packed columns continue to be chosen today" from a practical perspective of gas analysis. We will also introduce the various types and characteristics of packing materials offered by Restek, along with application examples, and share insights on how to make optimal choices based on analytical objectives. Furthermore, we will discuss the differences in hardware passivation techniques and how to differentiate their use, as well as examples of custom packed column designs tailored to specific purposes. Topics covered in the webinar: ✅ Types of packing materials for packed columns and their characteristics ✅ Differences in separation selectivity based on analytical examples for each packing material ✅ Examples of custom packed column designs Benefits: For beginners: You will gain an understanding of separation selectivity based on differences in packing materials and the basics of column selection. For intermediate and advanced users: You will gain a concrete understanding of how to select packing materials and the usefulness of custom packed columns to improve separations that do not satisfy with existing columns. Participant benefits: We will provide a collection of packed column applications that are not publicly available.

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "30th Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition [Tokyo]" held at Makuhari Messe Hall 5 from July 9 (Wednesday) to July 11 (Friday). [Booth Number: Hall 5 31-32] At this exhibition, we will showcase a variety of products, including the electric suction hand "e-VEE" with a built-in pump that does not require compressed air, a cordless belt sander, the electric driver "Delvo" that can be mounted on robots, and the "Flow Monitor" that allows for easy visualization of the flow of cooling water in molds and other applications.

In "The Principles of Mixing and Defoaming and Key Points for Recipe Setting," we will explain the mechanism of the self-rotating and orbiting mixer, Awatori Nentaro, and the principles of mixing and defoaming in an easy-to-understand manner for beginners. ◇ Why do materials mix just by combining centrifugal force? ◇ What does it mean that mixing and defoaming can be processed simultaneously? ◇ How do the materials inside the container move during operation? This content is recommended for those who usually use Awatori Nentaro in their work but have never heard about its mechanism or principles and want to learn about it on this occasion. We will also explain temperature management based on material viscosity and considerations for operating conditions with examples. Additionally, in the "Legal Self-Inspection and Basic Maintenance Training," participants will have the opportunity to experience basic maintenance such as round belt replacement and legal self-inspection (regular self-inspection) using actual equipment. The capacity for each seminar is different, so please apply early! ◆ Date and Time: April 24, 2026 (Friday) 13:00 - 16:30 ◆ Venue: Hiroshima Convention Hall
