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.

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 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.

Hello everyone! We are Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of contract processing for fluororesin coatings and PEEK coatings. Thank you very much for visiting our booth at the recent "Mechanical Elements Technology Exhibition." Thanks to you, we were able to conclude the event successfully. At the exhibition, we proposed surface treatment solutions for the "five challenges (release, sliding, corrosion resistance, impurity measures, and environmental response)" that arise in manufacturing sites. Were there any technologies that caught your interest? ■ We are currently responding to inquiries made at the venue We are sequentially contacting those who made technical inquiries or requests for prototypes at our booth on the day of the event. If you have requests such as "I would like you to look at additional drawings" or "I need a quote urgently," please feel free to let us know. ■ For those who could not attend the exhibition or missed our booth We also welcome inquiries from customers who could not come to the venue, such as "coating for special shapes that other companies have declined" or "switching from existing coatings." If you have any concerns regarding "surfaces," please feel free to consult or contact us.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity that allows for real-time visualization of the suspended and adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and factory environments, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can lead to quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that causes yield reduction

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair 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 Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair 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 made even 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 or download the catalog.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching doorknobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing types "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with a wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with a wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.
