• Distance learning/E-learning

Introduction of design tools suitable for electronic devices and embedded software engineers that can be used immediately on-site. A manual that explains the purpose and usage of FMEA (DRBFM).

We hear voices such as 'Our client is asking us to conduct FMEA, but we don't know how to implement it' and 'Even when looking at the explanatory documents, we can't understand the specific steps.' Especially in the case of mechatronic devices like embedded systems, there are few implementation examples, so many engineers are struggling with these issues. A key concern is how to define software failure modes. How do we distinguish between bugs and failure modes? There are many unclear points that pose challenges in actual design environments. Additionally, in the case of embedded devices, since they operate in conjunction with hardware, we must also consider risks such as injuries or property damage in the market. ★ Therefore, we will clarify all the above issues and introduce effective implementation procedures and design tools for conducting FMEA.

Examples of human resource development plans are also included! We will introduce how to promote practical education for young employees.

This document introduces practical education methods for young employees in small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. How can we "develop people before creating things"? I would like to think together about how to tackle this challenging issue. We will present examples regarding "challenges and methods of human resource development" as well as "methods of education by hierarchy," so please take a moment to read through it.

Is something like this happening in your workplace? ■ Suddenly, equipment stops ■ Small troubles and short-term stoppages occur repeatedly, and yield loss does not decrease ■ "Something just feels off..." but the cause cannot be identified You might be missing the SOS signals from your equipment. Equipment is like a "baby." Instead of expressing itself in words, it signals trouble through subtle changes such as "sounds," "smells," "vibrations," and "heat." To notice these changes, it is essential to cultivate the ability to "sense slight changes" through routine maintenance. By performing tasks like refueling, cleaning, and inspection ourselves, we can catch abnormalities in the equipment early and prevent major breakdowns. Just 5 minutes of maintenance a day can become the greatest weapon for "producing goods according to the production plan." We will proceed with a workshop included. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Today, the manufacturing site is facing a labor shortage. Therefore, it cannot function without part-time workers, temporary employees, and foreign workers. This issue is not limited to the manufacturing sector. The key lies in how to educate these individuals in a short period of time so that they can perform actual tasks efficiently and smoothly to produce quality products. In this seminar, participants will learn effective teaching methods and improve their skills as instructors. This will enable on-site workers to perform tasks using standardized procedures, significantly enhancing quality and productivity. Even newcomers or foreign employees can become immediate assets in a short time. By honing the "ability to teach," we will create a system that ensures workers adhere to established procedures and do not revert to previous methods. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

We will solve the issues related to the deterioration of defect rates caused by fine particles and the cleaning process in manufacturing sites. The fine particle visualization system developed by Shin Nippon Air Technologies, under the ViEST brand, combines an ultra-high-sensitivity camera and light source to visualize fine particles in clean rooms and equipment. It can capture their behavior in real-time while also quantifying particle information, making it a world-class visualization system. Currently, we are expanding the sale of systems and tools, as well as contract technical services utilizing them, both domestically and internationally. We have particularly rich experience in the semiconductor industry and clean rooms. Below are some examples of applications, but by using our technology, we can strongly promote solutions to various issues such as the deterioration of defect rates due to fine foreign substances, visualization of clean airflow, and concerns regarding site cleanliness. - Visualization investigation of fine particles and airflow in the manufacturing line and environmental improvement - Promotion of cleanliness in manufacturing equipment and environments - Cleanliness evaluation of various equipment performance - Improvement of yield and quality degradation caused by contamination issues - Support for research and development requiring visualization of fine particles and airflow - Evaluation of particle generation from products.

[Speaker] Ministry of Defense, Defense Planning Bureau, Defense Planning Division Director of Early Equipment Promotion Office, Mr. Toshiyuki Hinosawa [Key Lecture Content] As the security environment surrounding our country has become the most severe and complex since the post-war period, we are advancing efforts toward early equipment procurement in areas that are particularly urgent and important from a policy perspective, while also incorporating cutting-edge technology. In particular, unmanned assets were heavily utilized during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, drastically changing the nature of combat. In the future, I will discuss how the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces will enhance these capabilities, including the multi-layered coastal defense system concept "SHIELD." [Lecture Items] 1. Concept and Overview of Early Equipment Procurement 2. Major Efforts Toward Early Equipment Procurement to Date 3. Strengthening Defense Capabilities of Unmanned Assets 4. Establishing a Multi-Layered Coastal Defense System "SHIELD" Using Unmanned Assets 5. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
