Takaya Corporation will be exhibiting at the "36th Microelectronics Symposium (MES2026)" held at Osaka University Nakanoshima Center from September 16 (Wednesday) to 18 (Friday), 2026. MES2026 is one of Japan's leading technical symposiums in the field of electronics packaging. The symposium will focus on implementation technologies that support the high functionality, miniaturization, and high reliability of electronic devices, featuring the latest research results and technological trends from universities, research institutions, and companies. Additionally, technical exchanges and information sharing will take place through corporate exhibitions. At our booth, we will introduce the features of the Flying Probe Tester "APT Series" and solutions that contribute to quality improvement, as well as offer consultations regarding inspection processes. We invite you to stop by the Takaya booth during your visit.

In this session, we will thoroughly analyze case studies of three major chemical accidents that occurred in the past! When we unravel the root causes of these accidents, we find a common pattern of "lack of safety management systems" rather than just equipment failure or chemical reactions. We will introduce specific solutions to bridge the three gaps of "Visibility," "Control," and "Preparedness," and discuss Chemwatch's efforts to prevent risks before they occur. For any questions, please contact us at japan@chemwatch.net. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

While the business utilization of generative AI (such as ChatGPT) is rapidly advancing, the "security risk of confidential information such as on-site data, proprietary manuals, and customer information being sent to the cloud" has become a significant issue. Until now, the high cost of GPU servers and the necessity of relying on the cloud for model intelligence have been challenges. However, this premise is now undergoing a major change. With the emergence of Google's latest open model, 'Gemma4', we have finally entered an era where it is possible to operate with "intelligence equal to or greater than that of the cloud" at "one-third the hardware cost of traditional setups," and within "a secure, company-exclusive server completely isolated from the internet." We will introduce the latest trends in AI implementation along with our company's latest DX solutions.
