The Okayama Technology Exhibition (OTEX) 2024 has launched its online exhibition page ahead of the real event.

Top class in industry share!! "Takaya," the company that gathers trust and support from around the world for its circuit board inspection equipment.

The "electronic circuit board" is one of the important components widely used in various fields as a fundamental part for controlling electronic devices. The "board inspection equipment" developed by the Industrial Equipment Division is an "in-circuit tester" designed to inspect whether all components function correctly and whether there are any installation defects after various electronic components have been mounted on this "electronic circuit board" (ICT: In-Circuit Test). Among these, the "flying probe tester," which uses a needle called a "probe" that is rapidly moved by a robotic arm to directly contact the electronic components on the board for inspection, is a flagship product developed by Takaya ahead of the world. This device enables the quick detection of various defects that occur during manufacturing. Additionally, it allows for rapid adaptation to a wide range of boards through program changes. It has established an indispensable and solid position in modern manufacturing, which is characterized by small-batch production of diverse products.

For example, our highly skilled system engineers respond to the diverse needs of customers with systems such as RFID process management systems, attendance management systems, access control systems, warehouse management systems, and parts management systems. Utilizing advanced research, analysis, and design capabilities, we propose and build optimal systems ranging from infrastructure support such as server implementation and network construction to software development, maintenance, and operation, providing one-stop IT solutions.

• Process Control System

Supporting cutting-edge technology in the digital network era, responding to industry-specific needs with "high quality," "short delivery times," and "low costs."

The advancements in technology in the field of communication imaging show no signs of stopping. The new digital network market is rapidly expanding, and there is a demand for technological capabilities and production systems that can supply cutting-edge products in a timely manner. In response to the needs of this era and the industry, the EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service) Business Division is responsible for designing and manufacturing based on customer contracts. We cater to a wide range of needs, from simple assembly-type EMS through component supply to integrated EMS that encompasses all processes from development and design to final product production, as well as small-lot production of various types and mass production of small models. By bringing together the "wisdom," "skills," and "experience" of Takaya's engineers and flexibly combining them, we provide EMS solutions that address various challenges.

[Speaker] Inclusive Design Designer Yoko Nakao [Key Lecture Content] Products are not selling, differentiation is difficult, and regulations are changing. As product development and facility management reach a significant turning point, inclusive design, which involves engaging people who have previously been excluded from the development process to collaboratively think of solutions, is gaining attention as a method for creating new value. Additionally, practicing inclusive design is expected to enhance not only customer engagement but also employee engagement. In this seminar, based on 20 years of experience leading universal design and inclusive design with diverse characteristics both inside and outside a comprehensive electronics manufacturer, I will specifically explain how to practice inclusive design to create new value. [Lecture Items] 1. Inclusive Design as a New Growth Engine 2. Increasing the Resolution of Diversity 3. Inclusive Design Process 4. Side Effects - Ripple Effects on Talent Development and Recruitment 5. Conclusion 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
