April Event! Battery Analysis Webinar

If the structure changes, the flow of electricity will also change! Newly developed accessory.

Emulsions, suspensions, and other structurally viscous materials exhibit diverse flow curves and require complex interpretations. To complement this interpretation, we have developed a sensor that can simultaneously measure dielectric constant and impedance while controlling temperature in the flow field. - Simultaneous evaluation of steady flow viscosity (flow measurement), dynamic viscoelasticity, and electrochemical properties - Measurable over a wide AC frequency range (4 Hz to 8 MHz) - Easily attachable to a Peltier temperature control plate - Integrated control of rheo-impedance/rheo-dielectric measurements with TRIOS software

This is a case study analyzing battery graphite using the newly released powder rheology accessories from 2022.

Powder materials are used in various fields such as polymers, pharmaceuticals, and battery materials. In addition to general physical properties like particle size and density, these powders can take various forms such as storage, flow, and agglomeration, making it necessary to evaluate their physical properties while considering the environment in which they will be used. To effectively evaluate these physical properties with high precision and convenience, a new powder accessory for HR rheometers was launched in 2022. In this instance, we will focus on "graphite for batteries" and present a case study of powder rheology analysis.

We will be exhibiting at "Japan DX Week Spring 2026," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 8 (Wednesday) to April 10 (Friday). At the Marble booth, we plan to showcase how AI can improve work efficiency and lead to business automation in on-site operations. Additionally, we will provide an opportunity to experience a demonstration utilizing the latest technology, AR. Furthermore, for our manufacturing industry customers, we will present proposals under the theme "Utilizing Drawings to Drive DX," promoting the digitalization of design and quality areas, and introducing packaged products and custom services aimed at enhancing productivity in the manufacturing sector.

Core systems are the foundational support for corporate management, and their importance is increasingly heightened in the DX era, where data becomes a source of competitive advantage. To respond swiftly and flexibly to the rapidly changing business environment, a transformation in the nature of systems is required. We will introduce a method to realize a highly flexible and scalable business system that promotes operational efficiency and data utilization through the combination of kintone and ASTERIA Warp, using examples and demonstrations.

The widespread adoption of generative AI is rapidly evolving from traditional "conversational AI" to "autonomous execution AI (AI agents)." The AI agents that have recently garnered attention are not limited to merely generating responses; they can incorporate an autonomous processing flow of "planning → task decomposition → execution → evaluation," serving as new partners that can substitute and expand users' business operations. In this seminar, we will clearly introduce the following topics, incorporating examples of the AI solution "AIdea Suite AGENT +plus" and the data integration tool "ASTERIA Warp": - Why "AI agents" are becoming essential for corporate competitiveness now - The mechanisms of AI agents and specific use cases - Methods for establishing business efficiency, creating new value, and gaining a competitive edge - Specific steps for implementing AI agents - Data integration and its methods, which are essential for utilizing AI *This is a re-broadcast of the seminar held on October 30, 2025 (Thursday).
