I was introduced to Takaya at the local cultural presentation at Takaya Junior High School in Ibara City.

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.

Providing custom security solutions for various industries and businesses. One-stop support from infrastructure assistance to software development.

The core business of the Solutions Division is IT services for enterprises. By effectively utilizing the experience, know-how, and personnel that the Takaya Group has cultivated through various system developments, along with the latest IT technologies, we provide optimal solutions to the IT challenges faced by our customers. 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.

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 without causing any thermal impact on the base material. 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Introducing the Isofill series from ISOLITE Industries. Utilization of waste heat from high-temperature clean gases generated during waste material processing and recycling is possible. We realize effective use of thermal energy. ISOLITE's products with fireproof insulation technology eliminate concerns about damage from sparks and flames. They have high collection performance and enable heat recovery with clean exhaust gases. We have a proven track record in sewage sludge incineration facilities and industrial waste incinerators, among others. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries.

Donaldson's process filters are also used in craft breweries. In fact, we spoke with a craft brewery in Kochi Prefecture that utilizes Donaldson's process filters. In this vol. 2, we present an interview format discussing the experience of using Donaldson's filter products. For more details, please refer to the PDF linked below titled "Case Study: Craft Brewery (Main Volume vol. 2)."
