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.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

Fukuda Corporation has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is dedicated to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
