• Coating thickness gauge

You can easily and quickly check the feasibility of anti-corrosion coatings for bridges, ships, steel towers, plants, etc. (in accordance with JIS Z 0313) PSPC compliant.

This is a surface salinity meter that allows for easy and rapid measurement of salt deposits on surfaces. Steel structures need to be cleaned before painting. In particular, salt concentration is very important as an indicator of cleanliness before painting, especially for corrosion prevention. It easily and directly measures the salt deposits on the surfaces of steel structures such as ships, bridges, and large tanks using three different methods.

[Speaker] Ayaka Motomura, Consultant, Business Transformation Unit, NTT Data Management Research Institute [Key Lecture Content] With the advancement of Physical AI, telecommunications carriers have the opportunity to evolve from being "companies that provide lines" to companies that connect and control AI and the physical world in real-time. This seminar will organize the changes in communication demand brought about by Physical AI and the business opportunities for telecommunications carriers, while explaining the role of AIOps as the first step towards entry. Furthermore, it will discuss strategies for monetizing in the Physical AI market by deploying the operational intelligence accumulated through AIOps to network APIs and industry-specific services, as well as the layers that telecommunications carriers should hold. [Lecture Topics] Chapter 1: The Competitive Structure of the "Real World" Rewritten by Physical AI Chapter 2: Reasons Why Opportunities for "Reversal" Arise for Telecommunications Carriers in the Era of Physical AI Chapter 3: The First Step Towards Physical AI Chapter 4: Shifting AIOps from "Defense" to "Offense" Chapter 5: The Layers to Hold in the Era of Physical AI [Q&A / Business Card Exchange]

[Instructor] Partner Ryoji Mori, Eichi Law Office [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will explain the revised Personal Information Protection Act of 2028. The three-year review this time is a major revision, and it is essential to first understand where and how the revisions have been made, as well as the overall picture of the amendments. Next, we will explain the individual amendments that are practically important. The key points are as follows, but it is important to note that both the strengthening and relaxation of obligations are occurring simultaneously, increasing overall complexity. At the time of the lecture, it is expected that subordinate laws and guidelines will not yet be published, but we will discuss points that require attention upon publication. We will distinguish between what is necessary across businesses and what varies by industry. [Lecture Items] 1. Expansion of consent exceptions: Relaxation of the difficulty of obtaining consent and expansion of academic research institutions 2. Statistical exceptions: System content and how to read complex provisions (plus learning about acceptability from controversies) 3. Strengthening regulations on biometric information and children's information: Caution required for age verification 4. Contactable personal-related information: Changes in external transmission responses 5. Review of outsourcing regulations: Addition and removal of obligations for contractors 6. Administrative fines: Narrow target range and low amounts (not worth fearing) 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] Innovation Analyst Andy Kondo [Key Lecture Content] *The latest content will be added (changed) as appropriate based on the on-site survey of IAA Transportation 2026.* From September 15 to 20, 2026, the largest commercial vehicle exhibition in Europe, IAA Transportation, will be held in Hanover, Germany. It is a gathering place for manufacturers of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, as well as the parts, energy, and software that support them, occurring every two years. The cost structure of logistics, urban transportation and the environment, energy transition, decarbonization efforts, and a microcosm of the industry will reveal the future business environment just a step ahead. In this seminar, an innovation analyst who has been observing major global exhibitions such as CES and Hannover Messe for many years will report shortly after the event based on on-site coverage. Has autonomous driving become the main focus in commercial vehicles? Where is the energy transition for large vehicles settling in terms of batteries, hydrogen, and alternative fuels? How far have Chinese companies come? Based on photos taken at the venue and observations of actual products, the seminar will delve into the implications for Japanese companies.
