Smart Factory EXPO 2026

Eye tracking technology that digitizes gaze to support the inheritance of skilled techniques and prevent human errors in the field.

SiB's "Eye Tracking Core+" is a gaze measurement system in the form of smart glasses developed in Japan. It captures the position and movement of the operator's gaze in real-time, accurately quantifying the time spent and the number of times specific points are looked at. This aids in behavior analysis, skill inheritance, and improving educational efficiency. It has a wealth of implementation results in manufacturing sites, visualizing and data-fying the gaze and work actions of veteran technicians to support the transfer of know-how to younger employees. Furthermore, it contributes to preventing human errors and improving work quality, achieving results in many workplaces. With a lightweight design of just 39g, it does not hinder natural movement during wear and allows for the acquisition of high-precision gaze data. It is utilized across a wide range of fields, including manufacturing, bringing innovation to skill inheritance and business improvement.

• Vocational Training/Technical School

On-site improvements starting from visual attention. Easily grasp evaluation and proficiency at a glance! Why not utilize eye-tracking glasses as a training tool for newcomers?

As the new fiscal year begins, many workplaces are likely ramping up their training and education programs, such as OJT (On-the-Job Training) and Off-JT (Off-the-Job Training). However, are the results of the time and effort spent on training and education being made visible through evaluation and measurement? For both the learners and the instructors, being able to confirm outcomes and understanding in a visible manner should lead to more effective education. - How much growth has occurred? - Is that effect being utilized in the workplace? - What are the areas for improvement in the training content? "Eye Tracking Core+" visualizes precisely "where, in what order, and for how many seconds the worker looked." By providing feedback while observing actual gaze patterns, it enables specific and practical education. Additionally, the acquired gaze data can be output in over 30 formats, including numbers, charts, and graphs. This allows for education based on scientific evidence rather than relying on "intuition"! If you are looking to conduct "more effective education and training," please feel free to contact us. *You can view product materials and case studies by clicking the "Download Catalog" button.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

With the wearable smart glasses "Eye Tracking Core+", it is possible to achieve skill inheritance and education on-site, work analysis, and remote support!

The eye-tracking glasses "Eye Tracking Core+" are a glasses-type device that tracks the movement of the human eye and can analyze it from various angles. With over 100 users in domestic manufacturing and research and development institutions, it is being utilized in a wide range of fields! 【Usage Examples】 ■ Manufacturing: Utilizing "visualization of gaze" for skill acquisition, inheritance, and education ■ Research Institutions: Research in ergonomics, psychology, and neuroscience ■ Marketing Field: Product evaluation and usability testing As one of the few "Japanese brands" in the industry, we have developed unique new technology. The hardware is lightweight at 39g, and the software supports Japanese, English, and Chinese, designed to be simple and intuitive for anyone to use. In particular, in manufacturing sites, there are many achievements in processes such as visual inspection, painting, and assembly. In the research field, there are numerous achievements aimed at analyzing driving skills for automobiles, heavy machinery, and ships, as well as accident prevention. We will propose suitable usage methods according to customer needs. We are always accepting requests for actual machine verification and demonstrations, so please feel free to contact us! *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

From February 11 (Wednesday) to February 13 (Friday), Mikasa Trading Co., Ltd. will sponsor the technology conference "JANOG57 Meeting in Osaka" held at the Congre Convention Center. This event provides an open platform for field engineers to freely discuss and share the latest network technologies, practical operational know-how, and case studies of failures. This time, we will be exhibiting a booth in collaboration with Western Digital Marketing LLC, showcasing innovative storage solutions such as the "Ultrastar Data60" and HDDs with a maximum capacity of 30TB. The Ultrastar Data60 is recognized for its ability to efficiently accommodate up to 60 high-quality HDDs while achieving large capacity, low cost, and space-saving design. Additionally, we will display mobile label printers made by Brady Japan at our booth. You will have the opportunity to see products that are actively used in infrastructure development and data management up close. Don't miss this chance to experience the technologies that support the future! We look forward to seeing you at the venue.

Cancer Biomarker Discovery 2026 is an online seminar focused on the latest biomarker discovery and analysis technologies in the field of cancer research. Advanced technologies that support the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment research of cancer, such as liquid biopsy, proteomics, and spatial omics analysis, will be introduced. This seminar primarily targets basic and clinical researchers involved in cancer research, as well as those interested in biomarker discovery and analysis. In our section, we will introduce the latest techniques in fluorescent imaging for spatial biology and spatial proteomics research, centered around the Invitrogen EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System. Unlike traditional microscopy, which is limited in multiplex immunostaining, our spectral unmixing technology enables simultaneous imaging of up to 9 colors, allowing for rapid data acquisition with minimized sample damage. Additionally, we will explain a practical workflow using direct conjugate antibodies and TSA-based Invitrogen Aluora amplification reagents, proposing high-reproducibility analysis methods that leverage spatial information. For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.

In spatial biology/spatial proteomics research, the coexistence of "high-quality multiplex fluorescence image acquisition" and "reliable quantitative analysis" is becoming increasingly important. This webinar, co-hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific and Indica Labs, will introduce a practical workflow that allows for a comprehensive understanding from imaging to analysis. Recommended for: - Those interested in spatial biology/spatial proteomics research who want to systematically understand the entire process from imaging to analysis. - Those who are already conducting or considering the implementation of multiplex imaging (multiplex immunostaining). - Those who feel limited by traditional four-color fluorescence observation and wish to engage in higher-dimensional spatial information analysis. This is a free seminar, so please join us. *For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.

[Instructor] Professor at Waseda University Graduate School of Political Science and Economics / Director of the Institute for Environmental Economic Management Visiting Researcher at Sciences Po Paris Faculty Fellow at the National Institute of Economic and Industrial Research Mr. Toshihide Arimura [Key Lecture Content] Starting in the fiscal year 2026, participation in the GX-ETS will become mandatory for some companies in Japan. Carbon costs will become an increasingly important factor in considering long-term value creation for businesses. This seminar will explain the impacts of the full-scale implementation of the GX-ETS on Japanese companies and the economy. Additionally, we will introduce the future outlook for the GX-ETS and the paths that should be taken, from the perspectives of comparison with overseas emissions trading systems and its economic significance.
