The unique control AI product "E-Smart MPC," which easily implements model predictive control from within the control panel, has been updated to be even more user-friendly with a rich GUI!

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.

Introduction of an AI control product that achieves energy savings and CO2 reduction in industrial furnaces.

In recent years, the environment surrounding industrial furnaces has changed significantly. Rising energy prices, societal demands for decarbonization, a shortage of skilled personnel, and the limitations of existing control methods in equipment operation are all pressing issues. In many manufacturing sites, the need for "more efficient and more stable operations" and "reducing CO₂ emissions and fuel costs" has never been higher. To address these challenges faced by users, we introduce Proxima Technology's AI control solution, "EcoFurnace." With our proprietary AI "Smart MPC," we achieve up to a 25% reduction in fuel, electricity, and CO₂ emissions, improve control accuracy, reduce fluctuations by up to 80%, and shorten startup time by up to 60%. It also automatically optimizes responses to disturbances and equipment degradation, which were difficult to manage with existing PID control. Installation is straightforward; simply connect the PLC, LAN, and PC, and you can start using it as soon as the same day by configuring it through a browser. The Grafana-based dashboard visualizes operational status, significantly reducing the adjustment burden on-site. Please feel free to contact us for document requests or demo presentations.

From July 15 (Tuesday) to July 20 (Sunday), 2025, the "42nd Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships" was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. We would like to report on the motion capture experience session conducted by Yonex Co., Ltd. at the venue. During the experience session, participants were asked to swing three different types of rackets from different generations, focusing on whether there were differences in their top speeds. The measurement was conducted using the same Raptor-12HS system utilized at the Yonex Performance Innovation Center (Blue Lab). This was a valuable opportunity to experience the research equipment that is not currently open to the public and to see what kind of measurements are being conducted! ---[Yonex Co., Ltd.

Hello, this is the public relations department of KAITAKU Co., Ltd. in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture! Recently, our wooden lightweight hyper CLT sheet has been officially registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (NETIS number: TH-250021-A). The decisive difference between hyper CLT sheets and conventional temporary materials lies in the "exit" after their durability period ends. The hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A) is not discarded after its role on site is finished; instead, it is reused as chip fuel for biomass power generation. • Made: It is made from **wood (thinned timber)**, resulting in low environmental impact. • Used: It significantly contributes to reducing CO2 on site. • Converted to energy: Once its durability period is over, it becomes chip fuel for biomass power generation, ensuring that no resources are wasted. In this way, a **"complete circular" system** is established that connects materials to energy. Additionally, these initiatives can serve as a strong appeal for creativity related to construction performance. Please try the hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A)!

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, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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.

About a month ago, I took the Sanyo Electric Railway to the Hanshin Electric Railway express train from Himeji to Osaka on a Sunday. The important point here is that it was a "Sunday." The decisive difference from usual days is that there were "families" on board. I had somewhat anticipated this, but nowadays, almost 100% of parents are completely absorbed in their smartphones, ignoring their children who might be standing behind the driver's seat, shouting, or doing anything else. In fact, they even hand another smartphone to their child, effectively using it as a babysitter. At this rate, it's no wonder that these children will grow up to be adults with communication disorders.

On November 6th (Thursday) to 7th (Friday), 2025, we held the "Human Body Day 2025" at the NAC Image Technology Akasaka Multi-Purpose Space. We have uploaded videos of the highlights from each company and the presentations that took place on the day to our website. We encourage you to take a look. ---[Report on Human Body Day 2025 is here]------------------- https://info.nacinc.jp/jintaiday2025-report ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the day of the event, participants were able to experience a wide range of products in a hands-on session format, including motion capture, force plates, eye tracking, and human body analysis software. We received numerous comments from attendees expressing high satisfaction, saying, "It was great to gain various information all at once," which makes us very happy. NAC Image Technology will continue to provide "valuable products to our customers." We hope you will join us for our next event as well.
