Flying Probe Tester New Model Making Its Domestic Debut - Exhibiting at the 40th Nepcon Japan - Electronics Development and Implementation Exhibition.

[New Product Information] The new flying probe tester "APT-T400J Series" has arrived, achieving high speed, high precision, and low cost!

Takaya Corporation has announced a new model, the "APT-T400J Series," which enables ultra-fast inspection that reliably detects various defects in printed circuit boards. This model inherits the high-precision probing technology and stable measurement performance of its predecessors while achieving a more accessible price point as a standard model. It is equipped with various technologies to enhance the reliability and efficiency of inspections, responding to the diverse needs of manufacturing sites. As electronic devices become more compact and multifunctional, inspections of printed circuit boards require greater precision and reliability than ever before. Meanwhile, challenges such as labor shortages and cost reduction have become apparent in manufacturing environments, leading to a rapidly increasing demand for high-performance yet easy-to-implement inspection equipment. In light of this situation, Takaya has developed the "APT-T400J Series" as a standard model that can be utilized in a wider range of settings, based on the flying probe test technology it has cultivated over many years. By lowering the barriers to implementation without compromising inspection quality, it contributes to solving the challenges faced by a broader range of manufacturing sites.

• Circuit Board Inspection Equipment

A new innovation in substrate manufacturing. Achieving improvements in production efficiency and inspection accuracy!

The APT-2600FD is a next-generation dual-side flying probe tester that can perform combination testing with up to 6 probes using both upper and lower flying probes simultaneously. It improves test coverage while reducing the risk of product damage due to board flipping operations, significantly shortening inspection time. Equipped with a high-performance measurement system and a variety of features, it contributes to quality improvement from prototyping to mass production. We accept evaluation tests at our demonstration rooms in Okayama headquarters and Tokyo branch, where you can bring in your boards. A complete testing process is possible, including the creation of inspection programs, testing using actual boards, and summarizing evaluation results. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

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.

Easily achieve constant monitoring with RFID! It enables real-time understanding of the inventory status and movement of managed items.

This is middleware for easily implementing a "constant monitoring RFID system" that automatically acquires the inventory and movement status of managed items. ■ Advanced Event Processing It processes the read IC tag data and organizes the necessary "inventory information" and "movement information" for constant monitoring into a database. ■ Easy Data Utilization The collected information is stored in a database, allowing users to easily access the necessary information whenever needed. (Database: PostgreSQL) ■ Centralized Management of Reader/Writers It supports multiple readers and multiple antennas, allowing for centralized management of various settings related to the reader/writer. The configuration of the readers and reading settings can also be easily adjusted from the screen.

• IC tag reader/writer

You can easily implement inventory inspection for inbound and outbound using RFID.

This is a bulk check-in and check-out system for containers utilizing radio wave shielding gates, using our UHF band RFID software package. The aluminum frame of the radio wave shielding gate is made from commercially available materials, achieving a cost that is about one-tenth of that of a typical RFID gate. Installation and movement are easy, making it applicable in various fields such as logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and apparel. By attaching IC tags to the items to be managed, check-in, check-out, and inventory record collection are realized using RFID. This package absorbs the challenges of reader-writer control in building an RFID system, eliminating the need for RFID development on the customer side. 【Features】 ■ Bulk Reading The bulk reading feature of RFID significantly improves the efficiency of check-in, check-out, and inventory operations. Additionally, operations can be tailored to the customer's environment and business, whether using handheld devices or gates. ■ IC Tag Issuance The package also includes an IC tag issuance function using an RFID-compatible label printer. Even if IC tags cannot be affixed at the manufacturing (sourcing) stage, they can be issued in-house. ■ Integration with Higher-Level Systems It integrates with higher-level systems via API or CSV, allowing the RFID system to be implemented with a plug-in feel.

We will begin offering the "RFID encoding software" for free starting April 30, 2025.

In recent years, RFID technology has rapidly spread across various fields, including logistics management and inventory management. Many companies are considering transitioning to RFID in response to demands for efficiency and accuracy improvements that traditional barcode systems cannot meet. However, the introduction of RFID requires dedicated label printers and software, and the initial costs and complexity of operation have posed barriers to adoption. To address these challenges and promote RFID adoption among more companies, Takaya has begun offering "RFID encoding software" free of charge. This software allows for easy import of barcode data and CSV files, enabling intuitive operation for writing data (encoding) to RF tags. As a result, it significantly lowers the barriers to RFID adoption for companies looking to try RFID for the first time or those wanting to quickly advance their Proof of Concept (PoC).

• RFID/IC tags

Functions specialized for lending and returning operations are templated. IC tags are attached to managed items, enabling lending, returning, and inventory checks using RFID.

This is a management system for tracking items using IC tags. It reliably records the history of items taken out and returned, preventing omissions and errors in ledger entries, while also supporting the early detection of forgotten returns and losses. Additionally, it enables efficient inventory checks through bulk reading with RFID handheld devices. In traditional item management operations, the following issues often arise: ♦ Handwriting or Excel input into the ledger The process of recording in the ledger or entering data into Excel during item check-out and return is cumbersome, leading to discrepancies due to entry errors. ♦ Individual confirmation during inventory checks It is necessary to take items out one by one from boxes or shelves for verification, which consumes a significant amount of time for inventory tasks. ♦ Management through ledgers Due to management via paper or Excel ledgers, it is difficult to detect unreturned items or losses early and respond quickly. This system addresses these challenges.
