Hexacore Inc. will exhibit at "Data Center Japan 2026," which will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho from March 24 to March 25, 2026. At the Hexacore booth, we will introduce various distribution boards, as well as measurement and monitoring systems and implementation support services. 【Main Exhibited Products and Services】 - IEC Distribution Boards / Aluminum Transformer Equipped Distribution Boards (Panel Display) We will showcase IEC-compliant distribution boards (PDP) for data centers. Additionally, we will display aluminum transformer equipped distribution boards. - Remote Monitoring System Implementation Support Service for Data Centers (Panel Display) We will provide support tailored to customer requirements, from consideration of monitoring system implementation to on-site construction and startup. - PAL-Plus / PAL-Plus Large Capacity Version An IoT sensor with built-in communication functionality that allows for easy and space-saving measurement of alternating current (60A, 125A to 630A). - CEW-M4 A management software that visualizes equipment status such as current, power, energy consumption, temperature, and humidity, enabling efficient management of power usage and remaining power capacity of distribution boards. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

[Speaker] Kei Konagai, Senior Manager, Strategy& at PwC Consulting LLC [Key Lecture Content] The use of generative AI is rapidly expanding among manufacturing companies. However, many companies fall into the trap of being unable to produce results after simply "implementing it for now." A survey conducted by Strategy& involving 247 European manufacturing companies revealed that while the effects of back-office utilization are limited, the introduction of generative AI into core operations such as R&D and sales is the key to improving profitability. In Japanese companies as well, those aiming for structural transformation tend to achieve results that exceed expectations compared to those that only focus on streamlining peripheral operations. However, currently, it is not common to consider results indicators such as sales and gross profit margin in conjunction with these efforts. In this lecture, we will elaborate on a generative AI utilization strategy aimed at maximizing revenue impact from three perspectives: "strengthening upstream (design and development)," "streamlining downstream (after-sales service)," and "building a promotion system."

In this seminar, we will introduce "Platio Connect," which allows you to easily create mobile applications and achieve data integration with internal systems and automation of data utilization tasks without coding. We will also share demonstrations and case studies of companies that have successfully improved their operational efficiency. If you want to effectively utilize on-site data as internal assets, or if you want to leverage internal data on-site, or if you are interested in promoting DX (digital transformation) in the field, please join us.

We would like to provide information about the annual schedule for the event planned for 2026. This year, we are planning a wide range of activities, including: - Technical training sessions to deepen understanding of analytical techniques - Open house events where you can see the equipment in person - Seminars and workshops categorized by field and theme These will be held online and in various locations. Details about the start of registration and the programs for each event will be provided as the event dates approach. Please note that the schedule may be subject to change, so we appreciate your understanding in advance. Our staff is looking forward to the opportunity to meet with all of you this year. Thank you for your continued support of FOSS Japan.
