It improves the lifespan of deep hole forming molds and deep hole components.

The advantages of PVD coatings that can be processed at temperatures below 500℃ have been maintained, while enabling the formation of ceramic protective films on the inner surfaces of deep holes. It is possible to create hard ceramic protective films (such as TiN, TiAlN, etc.) on the inner surfaces of deep holes, which is difficult with conventional PVD coatings. This is expected to lead to a significant increase in the lifespan of molds formed in deep holes and mechanical parts that slide on the inner surfaces of deep holes. 【Product Lineup】 diXis-TiN, diXis-TiCN, diXis-TiAlN, diXis-CrN, diXis-Acro

The non-biting, non-sticking, smooth PVD coating improves the release properties and sliding performance of mold components.

This is a high-performance PVD coating that suppresses surface unevenness. Our unique smooth coating technology improves issues such as galling, corrosion, and release failures in cold forming, thereby extending the lifespan of mold components. It is compatible with polished finish molds and high-precision molds, achieving improved moldability. 【Product Lineup】 Smooth MX, Smooth CX, Smooth CX-R Fine FT, Fine FG, Fine FC

Improves the lifespan of tools and parts with a thin film, high-hardness DLC coating.

We offer a lineup of "DLC" for molds and machine parts, and "DLC-i" for aluminum alloy cutting tools. DLC coating demonstrates an overwhelmingly low friction coefficient against metal materials, achieving a friction coefficient comparable to oil lubrication even in dry conditions. It improves release properties to suppress adhesion of soft metals (such as aluminum alloys). DLC-i coating features a thinner film and higher hardness than DLC coating, making it ideal for cutting aluminum alloys. 【Lineup】DLC, DLC-i *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In recent years, the pharmaceutical and medical industries have faced urgent challenges, including the digitization of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the strengthening of continuous education and human resource development. In this webinar, we will introduce a comprehensive system that not only streamlines operations but also consistently supports education and human resource development by integrating Agatha's SOP management cloud solution "Agatha SOP" with "Ave-TMS," a training management system provided by BIO-TREND BIOPRODUCTS, with whom Agatha has recently signed a distribution agreement. [Program] Part 1: 14:00 - 14:20 "Introduction to Agatha Solutions" Agatha Inc. Sales & Marketing Department, Quality Group Part 2: 14:20 - 15:00 "Ave-TMS Demo Presentation" BIO-TREND BIOPRODUCTS Project Manager, Choi Woo-Chun *For Q&A, please fill out the survey displayed after the webinar, and we will respond later.

[Speaker] Daiki Suzuki, Senior Researcher, Nature and Climate Division, SOMPO Institute Plus Inc. [Key Lecture Content] As we enter 2025, global environmental and sustainability regulations are at a turning point. There are rapid movements of backlash, such as the retreat of U.S. climate policy under the second Trump administration and the simplification of regulations symbolized by the EU's omnibus bill. While the situation is difficult to predict, long-term demands such as investor expectations and decarbonization continue, and in Japan, the mandatory disclosure of sustainability is steadily progressing. In this lecture, we will overview the complex domestic and international situations surrounding sustainability and explore the direction companies should take in the future, incorporating case analyses. [Lecture Topics] 1. Overview of sustainability regulations 2. Unchanging expectations of capital markets and long-term trends 3. Detailed analysis of regional regulations 4. New regulatory frontiers 5. Direction of corporate responses, etc. 6. Q&A

[Instructor] Attorney Shinya Tsuchiya, Ishizaki & Yamanaka Law Office [Key Lecture Content] When various problematic behaviors occur among employees, such as poor work attitude, harassment, and lack of cooperation, if the employer mismanages the response, it can not only significantly disrupt workplace order and operational efficiency but also potentially invalidate the legal effectiveness of disciplinary actions or personnel measures taken against the employee in question. To avoid such risks, appropriate and consistent responses based on employment regulations and internal systems are required. On the other hand, dealing with "problematic employees" often places a significant psychological and practical burden on busy supervisors and HR personnel. In order to maintain smooth business operations, it has become essential to provide support to those responding and to prepare as an organization. In this seminar, we will systematically organize practical knowledge that is useful in the field, focusing on legal points and practical strategies to consider when responding to various types of "problematic employees" that have recently become more apparent, while assuming specific scenarios.

[Instructor] Takahisa Saito, Human Resources Consultant, Saito Social Insurance and Labor Office [Key Lecture Content] Human resource systems support the foundation of an organization. However, if the operation is neglected, the system itself will collapse. There are various systems, but among them, the "grade system, evaluation system, and wage system" can be considered the three major elements. We must design these three major elements with operational considerations in mind. In other words, it is important that the system is easy for management to operate. There is no need to overthink it. Additionally, as work style reforms progress, we must also consider the response to equal pay for equal work. I believe that what lies ahead after organizing the current situation is the "limited regular employee" system. In this seminar, we will share anticipated information and provide clear explanations. Furthermore, for those attending in person, meaningful information exchange is possible through mutual confirmation during Q&A sessions. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends and Perspectives Surrounding Human Resources 2. Basics of the Grade System 3. Basics of the Evaluation System 4. Basics of the Wage System 5. Considering Equal Pay and Job-Based Employment 6.
