[Exhibition Participation Announcement] Food Tech Japan Osaka March 8-10

Shall we finally solve your concerns about "sticking" and "wear"?

The original surface treatment (coating) "JC Coat" was born from the surface treatment technology cultivated in electronic component manufacturing. Based on DLC coating*, it is a contract coating that imparts various characteristics through our unique technology, and it is used in printing masks, food manufacturing equipment, and industrial machinery. *DLC coating... stands for diamond-like carbon. JC Coat PH has low adhesion to soft metals and a low wear coefficient, making it a specification with the highest hardness in the series and a wide range of applications. It can accommodate various metals and ceramics, and when there are tools and process line equipment parts that frequently contact soft metals, it strongly supports the reduction of adhesion and the resolution of cleaning issues. 【Features】 ■ Capable of film formation at low temperatures ■ Can form a film down to fine details, accommodating complex structures ■ More cost-effective compared to general DLC ■ Complies with domestic food contact material regulations 【Examples of Use】 ■ Food slicing blades: improved wear resistance ■ Blades for electronic components: prevention of adhesion to soft metals For more details, please feel free to contact us.

I don't want to have adhesion, but I'm worried about various coatings... This is for those people!

The original surface treatment (coating) "JC Coat" was born from the surface treatment technology cultivated in the manufacturing of electronic components. Based on DLC coating*, our unique technology provides various characteristics, making it suitable for use in printing masks, food manufacturing equipment, and industrial machinery. *DLC coating…short for diamond-like carbon By processing JC Coat P on parts of the manufacturing line and imparting anti-fouling properties, we expect to achieve labor-saving maintenance and cleaning. This will lead to significant process improvements across the entire line. 【Features】 ■ No need for redesign considerations due to the thin film coating ■ Strong adhesion to the substrate makes it difficult to peel off, eliminating concerns about foreign material contamination ■ Approximately 4-5 times harder than stainless steel ■ Complies with domestic regulations for food contact materials in Japan 【Examples of Applications】 ■ Food-related Weighing devices…Improved yield, reduced cleaning costs Conveying lines…Stable supply, reduced cleaning costs ■ Industrial-related Precision nozzles…Improved liquid discharge Cutter blades…Maintains sharpness while suppressing adhesion of adhesives and other materials For more details, please feel free to contact us.

I don't want to have adhesion, but I'm worried about various coatings... This is a case study for those in that situation!

The original surface treatment (coating) "JC Coat" was born from the surface treatment technology cultivated in electronic component manufacturing. Based on DLC coating*, it is a contract coating that incorporates various characteristics through our unique technology, and is used in printing masks, food manufacturing equipment, and industrial machinery. *DLC coating... stands for diamond-like carbon. By processing JC Coat P on parts of manufacturing lines in food factories and industrial plants, we provide anti-fouling and water and oil repellency, which leads to reduced cleaning and maintenance time, prevention of work-related accidents, and reduced waste. A significant feature is that, due to the structure of the coating, it is difficult for it to peel off in chunks. Here, you can download a collection of case studies summarizing the applications of JC Coat P. 【Features】 ■ No need for redesign considering the coating due to its thin film ■ Strong adhesion to the substrate makes it difficult to peel off, eliminating concerns about foreign matter contamination ■ Has a hardness approximately 4-5 times that of stainless steel ■ Complies with domestic regulations for food contact materials in Japan

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The power consumption of AI servers used in data centers has significantly increased, making traditional air cooling insufficient for operation. This lecture will organize the requirements for introducing a liquid cooling system into air-cooled data centers and explain the implementation method using free cooling with specific design details. When handling high-density AI servers, energy efficiency is required, and the widely used energy efficiency indicator, as well as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Resource and Energy Agency's PUE regulation of "1.3 or below," will be explained along with practical operational insights. [Lecture Items] 1. Heat dissipation methods for high-density, high-heat AI servers 2. Basics and importance of PUE/pPUE 3. PUE regulation of "1.3 or below" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Resource and Energy Agency 4. AI server implementation and requirements for new data centers 5. Summary and future outlook 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
