[Magazine Contribution] November Issue of Press Technology: Cover Interview: Leaders of Manufacturing Innovation Featured

Introducing different approaches aimed at achieving assembly results in press forming engineering!

We will demonstrate, using practical examples, how considering the results of the hemming process in advance during the design of the press forming process can minimize the risk of costly redesigns by incorporating those results into the design.

The digital process twin centered on AutoForm's press die forming analysis has achieved a reduction in development man-hours.

The environment for automobile development is changing more significantly than ever due to societal changes such as electric vehicles and autonomous driving, leading to an increased demand for timely development of products that meet market needs and for reducing labor costs. We will introduce the digital examination method using the digital process twin recommended by AutoForm.

When considering cost reduction at civil engineering sites, it is important to compare not only the purchase price of materials but also transportation costs, heavy machinery costs, and the personnel and time required for installation and removal. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize laminated CLT. They can be used as an alternative to steel plates for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and measures against muddy conditions. The 5×10 sheet weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to increase the number of sheets transported at one time, which leads to a reduction in transport frequency and transportation costs. They are also easy to handle with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of using large cranes and installation work. Repeated reuse can also be expected to reduce material costs per site. Furthermore, there are added values unique to wood, such as glare and noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden sheets can be utilized for cost improvements that combine construction efficiency, environmental consideration, and creativity.

We have published two application pages for the non-contact, camera-less monitoring sensor "MotionCatch." You can view them from the related products section below. 【Published Pages】 - MotionCatch | Non-contact monitoring sensor for public facilities SE - MotionCatch | Smart home monitoring sensor SE 【Features of MotionCatch】 - Detects human movement non-contact using millimeter-wave radar and AI. - No cameras used and no video recording. Provides monitoring with consideration for privacy. - Palm-sized. Simply install on walls or ceilings without the need for wiring (USB powered, Wi-Fi). - The detection range of one unit is approximately 6m x 4m. It is suitable for monitoring "by room" rather than the entire floor. We are accepting inquiries regarding installation conditions and trial implementations (PoC). *No video is recorded. This is a product designed to assist monitoring and is not a medical device.
