[Tokyo Big Sight 1/21~1/23] Factory Innovation Week 2026 Exhibition | Achieving 5-15% Energy Savings with AI Control

Attention equipment manufacturers! We are entering an era where AI integrates control. Elevate your equipment's competitiveness to the next stage with Smart MPC.

An era where energy efficiency and control performance determine the value of equipment. AI × MPC (Model Predictive Control) will revolutionize the precision, flexibility, and energy-saving capabilities that traditional PID control has struggled with. 'E-Smart MPC' is an embedded AI control controller developed based on industrial Raspberry Pi. It resolves the challenges of traditional MPC, such as "difficulty in model construction," "computational load," and "complex tuning," achieving a design that can be easily implemented by equipment manufacturers. - All-in-one design that fits directly into control panels - Intuitive operation via GUI and automatic tuning function - Pre-trained AI that executes optimal control instantly By embedding "intelligence" into the equipment itself, it simultaneously achieves energy reduction, stable operation, and improved maintainability. A new added value of "Smart MPC equipped" for your products. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Fujikei Co., Ltd. Mobility Solutions Division Chief Harunobu Okubo [Key Lecture Content] The thermal management system for EVs is being integrated with the aim of reducing weight, saving space, and cutting costs and labor. Due to fluctuations in EV demand, the market is undergoing significant transformation, requiring suppliers to offer a diverse range of products and make stringent investment decisions. Additionally, with the increase in heat generation from core components, heat dissipation materials are polarizing into high heat dissipation, high value-added products and low-cost, mass-consumption products. This seminar will introduce trends in the chaotic recent EV thermal management market from both the overall structure and key component perspectives. [Lecture Items] 1. Background and overall structure of the thermal management market 2. Market trends of core components (cooling and heating materials) 3. Market trends of heat dissipation materials 4. Market trends of battery fire-resistant insulation materials 5. Outlook and fluctuating factors of the thermal management market 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Yuko Okada, President and CEO, M's Communicate Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the renewal of point services has accelerated across various industries. The underlying trend is a significant shift where points have evolved from mere promotional measures to a strategic foundation for building relationships with customers. In this seminar, we will systematically organize the essence of this evolution based on the concept of 'Point Service 3.0'. We will explain the sources of effectiveness based on behavioral economics, the latest trends by industry, and the perspectives required in the era of engagement, while exploring the potential and direction of point services moving forward. [Lecture Items] 1. Evolution of Point Services (1.0 to 3.0) 2. Understanding the Essential Effects of Points through Behavioral Economics 3. Current Status and Strategic Choices of Common Points and Proprietary Points 4. Case Studies of Evolution in Point Services by Industry 5. The Era Where UI/UX Determines the Value of Points 6. Expansion into BtoB and BtoE and Applications for Organizational Activation 7. New Possibilities Unlocked by Future Point Services 8. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Yuka Sawai, Team Leader of Biodiversity, Sustainability Consulting Office, Dentsu Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of biodiversity in Japan while unraveling the changing values of "coexistence with nature" that are emerging among future consumers. Through quantitative and qualitative research targeting university students, we will reveal signs that the values sought in coexistence are shifting towards "multi-well-being." We will organize the potential that nature holds for consumers and explain how a company's attitude towards "coexistence with nature" can influence its evaluation, especially now that sustainability has become the norm. Additionally, we will present five perspectives for translating the value of coexistence into a company's strengths.
