DX System Development Expo 2025 [Held in Osaka]

Announcement of the "ADAM Series" Webinar for Achieving Site Autonomy and Remote Management While Controlling Equipment Investment Promoting DX and automation in manufacturing sites has become an essential element for maintaining competitiveness. However, there are many voices expressing the desire to "keep initial investments as low as possible," "avoid complex programming," and "safely implement remote management." The ADAM series from Advantech addresses these challenges. In this webinar, we will introduce specific methods to support site efficiency, focusing on autonomous control that requires no programming and secure real-time centralized management. Additionally, by lowering the barriers to implementation with "easy setup and rapid deployment design," we can significantly reduce effort and costs. Features of the ADAM Series: - Autonomous control that requires no programming - Secure real-time centralized management - Easy setup and rapid deployment Case studies will also be shared We will provide concrete examples of how the ADAM series has been utilized in actual metal processing manufacturers, showcasing how challenges were resolved on-site.

[Instructor] Naoki Kunimine, President of Thermal Design Lab, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation that occurs once every hundred years. As symbolized by CASE, constant connectivity through high-speed communication (Connected), autonomous driving (ADAS), and EVs (motors, inverters, batteries) all require high-speed, high-power (high-heat) devices. These semiconductor devices necessitate proper temperature management and efficient cooling. Since in-vehicle equipment is implemented in sealed units, heat dissipation materials and cooling devices are extensively used. Additionally, lithium batteries are sensitive to low temperatures and need to be heated to appropriate levels, but it is crucial to utilize thermal management that minimizes electrical energy consumption and makes use of waste heat. This lecture will explain the recent thermal issues in EVs and the corresponding cooling technologies.
