• Other embedded systems (software and hardware)

From January to March 2024, you can use the development license for 298,000 yen (tax excluded) or 327,800 yen (tax included) for a period of three months.

This is a limited-time campaign for HACARUS Check AI software. Please contact us as soon as possible. ■ About the Target Customers Those who are promoting the automation of visual inspections and have the following challenges: - Considering the introduction of AI and want to try it with reduced initial costs - Already have inspection equipment and want to improve AI accuracy - Have attempted to implement AI but could not due to reasons such as functionality or cost - Have introduced AI but are experiencing excessive detection due to temporal changes in parts ■ About HACARUS Check AI Software This is an AI visual inspection software that can repeatedly perform small quantity, good quality, and rapid learning. It can train the AI with dozens of good products in just a few minutes each day, and it can conduct inspections while minimizing excessive detection even for workpieces whose colors and shapes change over time. HACARUS's AI is based on sparse modeling technology, which extracts features from a small amount of data and performs learning and inference, compared to deep learning that requires a large amount of training data. This allows for high-precision operation with minimal data, enabling the construction and operation of systems while keeping costs and time down.

From February 11 (Wednesday) to February 13 (Friday), Mikasa Trading Co., Ltd. will sponsor the technology conference "JANOG57 Meeting in Osaka" held at the Congre Convention Center. This event provides an open platform for field engineers to freely discuss and share the latest network technologies, practical operational know-how, and case studies of failures. This time, we will be exhibiting a booth in collaboration with Western Digital Marketing LLC, showcasing innovative storage solutions such as the "Ultrastar Data60" and HDDs with a maximum capacity of 30TB. The Ultrastar Data60 is recognized for its ability to efficiently accommodate up to 60 high-quality HDDs while achieving large capacity, low cost, and space-saving design. Additionally, we will display mobile label printers made by Brady Japan at our booth. You will have the opportunity to see products that are actively used in infrastructure development and data management up close. Don't miss this chance to experience the technologies that support the future! We look forward to seeing you at the venue.

This is a practical monetization seminar that clearly explains the process of creating acrylic keychains and how to generate profits, with the opportunity to ask questions on the spot. You will also be able to see the movements of the "BD-8" and laser processing machines at the venue. It's perfect for those who want to start a manufacturing business!

In this seminar, we will break down "DX" into five elements in relation to the concept of innovation and explain them with examples. The aim is to deepen the understanding of "DX" itself and clarify what steps should be taken first. Additionally, we will introduce the approach of "suitable personnel in suitable places ERP" as a way to select the foundation for promoting "DX." <Program> - Introduction - The lagging DX in manufacturing and how to succeed in the new era - The choice of "suitable personnel in suitable places" ERP as a foundation for strengthening competitiveness <Recommended for> - Those who are exploring what steps to take towards DX - Business owners, managers in the manufacturing industry, and those responsible for management innovation - System personnel interested in the future of core systems *Applications from competing companies may be declined.

Recommended for: - Those who conduct sterility tests in their daily work - Those interested in rapid sterility testing - Those curious about highly sensitive detection methods for sterility tests In the fields of regenerative medicine and cell therapy, rapid sterility testing is required to enhance patient safety. The sterility testing reagent "BactFinder/FungiFinder," based on nucleic acid amplification methods, covers a wide range of microorganisms, including not only pharmacopoeial bacteria but also environmental bacteria and human-derived bacteria, allowing for detection in a short time. This seminar will include explanations of data related to sterility testing reagents, as well as detailed descriptions of highly sensitive testing systems. We understand you may be busy, but we hope you will join us.
