We will be exhibiting at SEMICON Japan 2022 from December 14 to 16, 2022.

We will undertake the development, mass production, and after-sales service of electronic board and unit products based on your specifications.

- We will provide long-term stable supply of custom board and unit products. - We also accommodate small lot orders. - We offer replacement (design and manufacturing) proposals. Please feel free to consult with us.

• Embedded Board Computers

This is an I/O board that complies with the EtherCAT slave specification and can connect to the EtherCAT master at 100 Mbps.

● This is a compact general-purpose digital input/output board with isolated input and output, featuring 4 input ports and 4 output ports. ● It connects to adjacent devices using a 100 baseTX CAT-5 cable, and the distance between devices can be extended up to 100m. ● It is capable of multi-point synchronization signal input and output (utilizing EtherCAT's distributed clock). ● We can accommodate inquiries regarding customization of the number of input and output signals and support for various data input/output devices with EtherCAT.

• Embedded Board Computers

Consistent support from hardware to software verification. Capable of customization according to customer requests.

Company Response Content Hardware Development → Software Development → Conformance Testing ■ Various functions can be realized on one board. Space-saving and reduced wiring are possible. ■ High-speed communication and real-time capabilities are achieved. ■ By modularizing the ESC, early product commercialization is possible.

• Circuit board design and manufacturing

We will undertake the development, mass production, and after-sales service of electronic board and unit products based on your specifications.

- We produce at our own factory in Japan. - We provide product designs and offerings that respond to the surrounding environment, including ambient temperature, humidity, vibration, and coating compatibility. - We design products with long-term stable supply in mind. - For board and unit products that can no longer be mass-produced due to discontinued components, we will design successor products considering compatibility. This enables long-term supply and long-term repair support for machinery and equipment. (Reference) For some VME boards, we have repeatedly designed successor products considering compatibility, continuing to offer them from the start of sales around 1990 to the present.

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source. [Lecture Items] <1> Frontier Model (USA) <2> Frontier Model (China) <3> Technology Trends and AI Strategies for Japanese Companies <4> Q&A

[Speaker] Chief Expert Ji Hui, Future Creation Center, Nomura Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] *We plan to update with the latest information based on field research as necessary.* At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai in July 2026, Huawei unveiled its next-generation computing infrastructure products based on its proprietary AI chips, attracting significant attention. Amid ongoing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors, Huawei demonstrated its approach to overcoming the performance limits of standalone chips through "systems engineering," showcasing its commitment to leading the development of an autonomous AI ecosystem in China, encompassing computing infrastructure, cloud, OS, and AI models. Based on the latest field research results, this lecture will explain the latest trends in Huawei's AI strategy (computing infrastructure, AI models: AI social implementation, AI ecosystem, etc.) in the context of the overall landscape of China's AI industry. [Lecture Topics] 1. Current State of China's AI Industry 2. Progress in Domestic Production of Infrastructure 3. Huawei's Full-Stack AI Ecosystem 4. Future Prospects 5. Q&A
