Web Seminar "What Field Leaders Need" - Toyota's On-Site Management

Advantech Toyo Co., Ltd. will exhibit at "INTERPHEX Week Tokyo 2026," held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, showcasing the "28th INTERPHEX Japan" and the "8th Pharma Lab EXPO." This exhibition is one of Japan's largest specialized technology fairs, featuring a wide range of products, technologies, and services related to the research and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers from both domestic and international markets will attend, engaging in active business discussions with exhibiting companies. We will display various filter products, including gamma-ray sterilized capsule filters compliant with pharmaceutical regulations, low-extractable PES membrane products, and improved immunochromatography membrane filters. Additionally, we will present various proposals and products addressing "the issues and improvements of risks in laboratories" within our LABCOM business at our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

What is required of on-site leaders is not just to manage daily operations. To uphold the three missions of the site—Quality (Q), Cost (C), and Delivery (D)—a system and perspective that “manages” the entire site is necessary. However, there are many voices expressing uncertainty, such as “I don’t know where to start” or “People don’t move even when I tell them.” Many of these issues stem not from “people” but from the “management system.” In this seminar, an instructor with a proven track record of training at Toyota-affiliated companies will explain how on-site management is conducted at Toyota and what is necessary for on-site leaders, incorporating practical exercises. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Dear Sir or Madam, We hope this message finds you well and that your company continues to prosper. FUKUDA will be exhibiting at the AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING EXPOSITION 2026 YOKOHAMA.

[Lecturer] Yukio Sakaguchi, Representative of the Clean Energy Research Institute [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will organize what has fundamentally changed in AI data centers, starting from the evolution of NVIDIA. Currently, NVIDIA's competition is rapidly shifting from GPU performance itself to the supporting factors of power, cooling, water, and location conditions. Particularly due to advancements in high density, traditional air cooling-centered designs are becoming difficult to manage, necessitating new design philosophies that include liquid cooling and high-temperature water cooling. First, based on NVIDIA's roadmap and changes in rack design, we will clarify why the constraints of AI data centers have shifted from semiconductors to infrastructure. Next, we will outline the characteristics and limitations of air cooling, liquid cooling, and high-temperature water cooling, and consider how external factors such as water constraints, power infrastructure, grid connection, and location conditions impact cooling methods and business viability. Furthermore, taking into account changes in infrastructure investment, power procurement, and risk sharing, we will indicate where realistic business opportunities may lie in the future. This will not only focus on technical discussions but also present a perspective that reconsiders AI infrastructure as a condition for business viability.

[Speaker] Takahiro Yatabe, Executive Producer, Tokyo Electric Power Holdings, Inc. and Business Development Office, Tokyo Electric Power Renewable Power Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] Against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East, including Iran, the year 2026 is expected to be a year of significant changes in the energy environment. As the reduction in crude oil circulation leads to soaring energy prices, the transition from an industrial and social structure based on fossil energy to the promotion of renewable energy through Green Transformation (GX) is entering a critical phase. Addressing these challenges requires an integrated approach that combines supply measures through renewable energy and other decarbonized power sources with the promotion of electrification and hydrogenation on the demand side. The Energy Conservation Act, enacted in 2023, mandates companies to implement these initiatives as concrete actions. Particularly in the industrial and transportation sectors, the electrification and hydrogenation of the direct use of fossil fuels, which account for approximately 75% of final energy consumption in the medium term, is a crucial theme. This lecture will outline these initiatives on the demand side.
