[Exhibition Participation Announcement] Electronic Devices 2026 Total Solution Exhibition (JPCA Show 2026)

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.*

[JPCA Show 2026 Exhibition] New Flying Probe Tester "APT-T400J Series" Achieving High Speed, High Precision, and Low Cost

Takaya Corporation has announced a new model, the "APT-T400J Series," which enables ultra-fast inspection to reliably detect 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 range as a standard model. It is equipped with various technologies to enhance inspection reliability and efficiency in response to the diverse needs of manufacturing sites. As electronic devices become more compact and multifunctional, the inspection of printed circuit boards requires 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 these circumstances, 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 aims to contribute to solving challenges in a broader array of manufacturing environments.

[Instructor] Hiroyuki Sakai, President of MANAGEMENTIVA Co., Ltd. (Former Community Manager of Real Madrid CF) [Key Lecture Content] The 2026 Soccer World Cup, held in North and Central America with the United States as a sports business powerhouse, concluded with great success. However, it is also true that events occurred behind the scenes that far exceeded imagination. Many new trends in activities were confirmed around the local stadiums. What has changed in business, and how? Was it successful or not? What hints can we gather for the future? Which aspects should the Japanese sports industry adopt? Furthermore, the relationship with politics that attracted attention. It has been said that this should ideally be separated... Using the World Cup as a case study, I will discuss the latest business situation.

[Speaker] Mr. Takaki Miyazaki, President and CEO of NTT Circulast Corporation Director Ms. Saori Koga [Key Lecture Content] Resource circulation is becoming increasingly important from the perspectives of decarbonization and resource security, with rising expectations particularly for non-ferrous metals such as copper. However, there is a challenge in that the "flow of goods" supporting resource circulation and the "flow of information" conveying their value are disconnected, leading to insufficient communication of characteristics such as the origin of recycled materials and environmental impact, resulting in the circulation value not being properly recognized and evaluated in the market. In this lecture, we will introduce the background behind the establishment of NTT Circulast by NTT and Mitsubishi Materials, as well as the business concept that connects the flow of information and goods. Additionally, we will discuss future prospects for realizing a market where circulation value is chosen, taking into account trends in international standardization (ISO).

[Speaker] Mr. Kimihiro Horiuchi, President and CEO of Data Driven Consulting Inc. [Key Lecture Content] We are confident in the strategies created in collaboration with our internal elite and external consultants. However, we are not achieving the results we desire. Many companies facing such challenges share a common issue: a lack of execution power to realize their strategies. On the other hand, when we talk about increasing execution power, it involves complex factors such as sales, human resources, organization, and marketing, making it difficult to find effective solutions. In this lecture, we will introduce a method for building an organization with overwhelming execution power by thoroughly refining the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, which should be practiced by everyone, aimed at business owners and middle management who are struggling with such concerns.

[Speaker] RAUL Co., Ltd. President and CEO Kenji Eda, Director of the Energy Information Center [Key Lecture Content] With the expansion of renewable energy adoption, there is growing interest in Virtual Power Plants (VPP) that utilize small grid-connected storage batteries, as well as storage batteries for homes, stores, and businesses, solar power generation, and electric vehicles (EVs). This lecture will clarify the differences between low-voltage grid-connected storage batteries and VPPs, the structure of equipment and operations, the structure of revenue generation, and the roles of key players from the basics. Furthermore, we will discuss overseas examples from Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, explaining the differences with Japan and key points for commercialization. Without delving deeply into complex systems or technical details, we will clearly introduce practical perspectives on entry methods, challenges and risks, and future market outlooks. [Lecture Items] 1. Basic overview of low-voltage grid-connected storage batteries and VPPs 2. Structure of equipment and business for low-voltage grid-connected storage batteries 3.
