The December 23, 2024 issue of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun National Edition features a special page on Okayama Prefecture, which includes an introduction article about Takaya Corporation's RF Division.

RFID technology enhances the value of diverse business models even further. It is active across a wide range of industrial fields, from security to factory automation and logistics.

The core business of the RF Division is the development, manufacturing, and sales of products that use radio frequency. Since 1996, we have developed various products including radio wave-based store security gates, 2.45GHz RFID readers/writers, and 13.56MHz RFID readers/writers, with Takaya products actively used across a wide range of industries from security to factory automation and logistics. We not only offer our own planned products but also provide OEM/ODM supply, contract development, EMS services, and system solutions, contributing to the creation of added value in diverse business models.

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 understanding of changes in project status! From now on, simply placing it will complete the input of achievements.

We introduce the "RFID Utilization Process Progress and Achievement Collection System," which automatically collects achievement information simply by placing or removing various cards on terminals set up in the workspace. Up to 20 cards can be stacked and read simultaneously, and when leaving the workspace, you only need to remove the cards. This allows for real-time understanding of changes in process status. Additionally, the RFID reader/writer with an LCD touch panel suitable for IoT edge devices operates in a standalone mode, eliminating the need for a PC installation. It uses a web server function to directly control the reader/writer from a browser. 【Features】 ■ Up to 20 cards can be stacked and read simultaneously ■ Only need to remove the cards when leaving the workspace ■ Flexible usage - Convenient tray type or slim stand type that takes up little space - The terminal's LCD screen can display errors and allow for direct input of achievements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

TECHNO-FRONTIER 2024 6th "Connected Factory" Promotion Exhibition will be introduced in a video.

Using Takaya's cloud service, it is possible to collect work performance data and manage locations. By installing an autonomous reader on-site, it can automatically read RF tags and send the acquired data to the cloud, eliminating the need for a control PC for the reader.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.
