Invitation to Exhibit at the 26th Automatic Recognition Comprehensive Exhibition

TAKAYA IoT platform utilizing cloud environment

In recent years, with the promotion of work style reform, there has been an increasing demand for improved productivity and the correction of long working hours, necessitating companies to accurately grasp the actual working hours and tasks of their employees. However, the accuracy of data collection remains unclear. Particularly in the manufacturing industry, many cases still use handwritten forms, leading to challenges such as missing entries and mistakes that make it difficult to obtain accurate performance information. Against this backdrop, our company has developed an "RFID Work Performance Collection System" that allows performance data to be transmitted simply by placing an RFID tag on an autonomous RFID reader. Since there is no need to record at the start and completion of work, workers can naturally and accurately record their working hours without being conscious of it. Because performance data can be easily collected, more time can be allocated to data analysis, allowing for effective utilization as profit improvement data for reviewing personnel allocation and understanding and improving the status of each process.

Real-time continuous monitoring using shelf antennas for UHF band RFID.

Do you have any of these concerns? - I want to conduct regular inventory checks, but it's difficult due to a lack of personnel. - The management of equipment and important documents is insufficient, leading to occasional losses. The "Shelf Antenna" will solve these issues! * You can always keep track of the inventory status of items on the shelf antenna, and depending on how you operate it, you may eliminate the need for inventory checks. * It can automatically record the entry and exit of equipment and important documents, allowing for early detection of unreturned items. Overview The system continuously monitors important items such as documents and pharmaceuticals on the shelf antenna and automatically records their entry and exit status. By utilizing middleware for constant monitoring (sold separately), you can easily implement a constant monitoring system using RFID. Background We have released a UHF version of the HF band shelf antenna, which has a cumulative sales record of over 2,000 units. Recently, the adoption of UHF band RF tags, which offer significant cost benefits for applications with many items to manage, has been increasing, leading to a growing demand for UHF band shelf antennas. By placing items with RF tags on the shelf antenna, this solution can be used for location management, inventory status tracking, and obtaining records of items taken out and returned.

You can easily implement inventory inspection for inbound and outbound using RFID.

This is a bulk check-in and check-out system for containers utilizing radio wave shielding gates, using our UHF band RFID software package. The aluminum frame of the radio wave shielding gate is made from commercially available materials, achieving a cost that is about one-tenth of that of a typical RFID gate. Installation and movement are easy, making it applicable in various fields such as logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and apparel. By attaching IC tags to the items to be managed, check-in, check-out, and inventory record collection are realized using RFID. This package absorbs the challenges of reader-writer control in building an RFID system, eliminating the need for RFID development on the customer side. 【Features】 ■ Bulk Reading The bulk reading feature of RFID significantly improves the efficiency of check-in, check-out, and inventory operations. Additionally, operations can be tailored to the customer's environment and business, whether using handheld devices or gates. ■ IC Tag Issuance The package also includes an IC tag issuance function using an RFID-compatible label printer. Even if IC tags cannot be affixed at the manufacturing (sourcing) stage, they can be issued in-house. ■ Integration with Higher-Level Systems It integrates with higher-level systems via API or CSV, allowing the RFID system to be implemented with a plug-in feel.

Functions specialized for lending and returning operations are templated. IC tags are attached to managed items, enabling lending, returning, and inventory checks using RFID.

This is a management system for tracking items using IC tags. It reliably records the history of items taken out and returned, preventing omissions and errors in ledger entries, while also supporting the early detection of forgotten returns and losses. Additionally, it enables efficient inventory checks through bulk reading with RFID handheld devices. In traditional item management operations, the following issues often arise: ♦ Handwriting or Excel input into the ledger The process of recording in the ledger or entering data into Excel during item check-out and return is cumbersome, leading to discrepancies due to entry errors. ♦ Individual confirmation during inventory checks It is necessary to take items out one by one from boxes or shelves for verification, which consumes a significant amount of time for inventory tasks. ♦ Management through ledgers Due to management via paper or Excel ledgers, it is difficult to detect unreturned items or losses early and respond quickly. This system addresses these challenges.
