RFID tool management system for managing checkouts/returns and preventing forgetfulness. It also allows for searching!

The tool management system of Yoshikawa Systec utilizes RFID (IC tags) to facilitate the easy and accurate handling of equipment and tools for borrowing, returning, and retrieving. When borrowing or returning, the tools are scanned and registered with a reader, allowing any forgotten tools to be displayed on a list, thereby preventing accidents caused by leaving tools behind (such as foreign object contamination). If tools cannot be found, they can be located using the search function. Additionally, the reservation management feature prevents double bookings. Reservations are not mandatory, so tools can also be borrowed without a reservation. 【Features】 　■Utilization of RFID 　■Easy and accurate handling of equipment and tools for borrowing, returning, and retrieving 　■Reservation management 　■Prevention of forgotten tools 　■Tool search function 　■Management of who borrowed the tools 　■Standalone system, requiring no network environment Customization to fit business needs is also possible. We can conduct on-site reading tests and suggest suitable RFID tags for managed items. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our company offers a series of products utilizing RFID (IC tags). Please also check out our other products.

[Lecturer] NTT Corporation, Network Service Systems Research Institute Network Infrastructure Technology Project, Project Manager Fujihiko Tamura [Key Lecture Content] The All-Photonics Network (APN), which is a core component of the IOWN concept proposed by NTT in 2019, is a high-capacity, low-latency, and low-power optical infrastructure that began commercial service as APN IOWN 1.0 in 2023. Currently, it is offered as a bandwidth-guaranteed communication service between user sites at speeds of up to 800 Gbps, and APN is steadily evolving. In the future, to respond to the rapid development of AI and data centers, as well as the diversifying user needs, we are advancing research and development for APN Step 3, which aims to provide on-demand, end-to-end optical connections on a broad scale. In this lecture, I will explain the world that APN Step 3 aims for, the technologies that support its realization, and our efforts in standardization activities and demonstration experiments at IGF (IOWN Global Forum) and ITU-T.

[Speaker] Hajime Hiraki, CEO of Chemistry Cube, Innovation Consultant [Key Lecture Content] Inventorying technology is not merely about listing and categorizing technologies or creating a technology inventory; in other words, it is not just about managing technology stock. It is a process that visualizes technology as a "structure" and reconstructs the researcher’s own thinking, fundamentally enhancing the strategic planning and theme creation capabilities in R&D settings. In this lecture, we will explain how technology generates value and how it can be utilized across organizations using the technology structuring method iMapR practiced by Chemistry Cube. We will also discuss how the speed and quality of inventorying can be improved through collaboration between generative AI and engineers/researchers. This is essential content for executives and technology leaders who want to accelerate transformation in R&D. [Lecture Items] 1. Introduction 2. What is technology inventorying? 3.
