We will be exhibiting at FOOMA Japan 2026!

A reliable and contactless entry and exit authentication solution for work sites where faces are concealed!

"Colorful and Complete Human" is a solution that enables non-contact and non-face-to-face entry and exit management even in uniform environments where facial recognition is difficult. It is designed for implementation in high hygiene and safety environments such as food factories, hospitals, and clean rooms. By attaching our unique recognition code "Color Bit" to uniforms and hats, individual recognition is possible even when faces are obscured by masks or protective gear. Utilizing the edge AI-compatible IoT camera "Vieureka" from Vieureka Inc., the moments of entry and exit are recorded as images. Through server integration, history and duration of stay can be centrally managed in the cloud. Administrators can set flexible viewing and operational permissions, and integration with personnel ledgers and attendance systems in CSV format is also possible. This solution eliminates the need for cards and touch, achieving a labor-saving, low-contact, and reliable authentication environment.

At a glance, it’s easy to understand. Visualization of new things.

"ColorBit" is an automatic recognition code developed uniquely by our company. It can handle not only straight lines, zigzags, and spirals, but also freely designed shapes. Instead of reading each individual code, it recognizes all codes on the screen at once. This is a unique technology that can be used in situations where applying two-dimensional codes like barcodes and QR codes, as well as RFID and beacons, has been difficult. For example, it can be considered for various applications such as inventory management in factories and warehouses, tracking work-in-progress in manufacturing sites, and managing equipment in offices and facilities. Its ability to grasp multiple targets at once streamlines verification tasks that previously relied on manual labor and visual checks, leading to reduced burdens on the field and enhanced visibility. Its flexibility to be easily integrated according to different applications and environments is also a notable feature.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made 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 or download the catalog.

PiLink Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, CEO: Kenji Nogata) will start selling two models of its edge AI platform series "PLECO," optimized for industrial applications, on June 1, 2026: the high-performance model "PLECO E5" based on Raspberry Pi 5 (Compute Module 5) and the low-cost model "PLECO E4" based on Raspberry Pi 4 (Compute Module 4).

SPACECOOL Inc. was selected as one of the top three companies from over 1,500 applications across more than 100 countries in "The Liveability Challenge 2026," a global sustainability initiative hosted by the Temasek Foundation and operated by Eco-Business, and received the Investment Prize. The Liveability Challenge (TLC) is a global initiative that evaluates innovative solutions aimed at addressing urgent sustainability challenges in urban tropical regions. Our company was the only finalist from Japan in the Cool Earth category, which focuses on responding to climate change and heat stress. During the grand final held in Singapore on May 20, 2026, we made our final pitch on cooling solutions for tropical cities and received the Investment Prize. Encouraged by this award, SPACECOOL aims to use this opportunity to implement sustainable cooling solutions in the Southeast Asia region and further accelerate improvements in global heat-related challenges.

Piab has launched the energy-saving vacuum control solutions "piSAVE ESS Standalone" and "piSAVE ESL Standalone." The energy-saving technology proven on the piCLASSIC Neo platform can now be flexibly implemented as standalone units, making it easy to integrate into various vacuum systems. Both products adopt a fully air-operated, self-regulating design, eliminating the need for external control or programming, while significantly reducing compressed air consumption and achieving high-efficiency vacuum performance. ■ piSAVE ESS Standalone An energy-saving solution optimized for highly sealed workpieces. It automatically controls the supply of compressed air to maintain the set vacuum level, resuming air supply only when necessary, thereby minimizing energy consumption. ■ piSAVE ESL Standalone An energy-saving vacuum control unit developed for workpieces that are prone to leaks. It automatically adjusts the supply pressure according to the amount of leakage, achieving stable vacuum performance and low air consumption.

Change 2: Scope 3 emissions have become an important theme in ESG disclosures. The challenges of English translation that Japanese companies often face For example, the following issues are likely to arise: - Misalignment of definitions (Upstream/Downstream) - Misunderstanding of the scope of inclusion - Confusion with "Value Chain" - Ambiguity in category classification - Divergence from reporting standards (GHG Protocol) Key points for English translation In the translation of Scope 3, the following points are crucial: - Prioritize the use of "Value Chain Emissions" - Clearly state when aggregating with Scope 1 and 2 - Include "Upstream / Downstream" with an awareness of upstream and downstream - Use the "15 categories" from the GHG Protocol as guidelines - Limit the use of the term "Supply Chain" to "upstream" only Our company utilizes the YIYO translation management system for integrated management to standardize the management of Scope 3 terms and categories, addressing the specific issues related to Scope 3 disclosures.
