Idemitsu Engine will exhibit at the Plant Maintenance Show held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 19 to 21.

[Presenting case studies useful for seismic evaluation] Supporting seismic evaluation and reinforcement work for high-pressure gas storage tanks (spherical tanks, flat-bottomed refrigerated tanks, etc.)!

For high-pressure gas equipment classified as Importance I and Ia, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has stipulated the formulation of seismic reinforcement plans in the document "On Improving the Seismic Resistance of Existing High-Pressure Gas Facilities (20140519 Commercial Bureau No. 1)." Our company has been advancing seismic evaluations, studies, designs, and construction for numerous LPG storage tanks owned by the Idemitsu Group. In our studies, we applied the latest knowledge in seismic motion evaluation and developed and introduced new high-precision simulations to accurately assess behaviors such as shaking and deformation during an earthquake. Through these efforts, we have contributed to improving the seismic performance and ensuring the safety of high-pressure gas facilities by identifying reinforcement locations and subsequently selecting appropriate construction methods and carrying out reinforcement work. 【Do you have any of these concerns?】 - I want to proceed with seismic evaluation but need advice on how to do so. - There are multiple pieces of equipment that require seismic evaluation, and I want to address them systematically. - The results indicate that there are more reinforcement locations needed than expected. I want to reconfirm if this is really the case. - Area constraints may pose limitations on seismic reinforcement work. Are there any good methods available? Our experienced engineers will propose optimal solutions for seismic reinforcement. Please feel free to consult with us.

Are you struggling with the integrity assessment of long-standing high-pressure gas piping? Idemitsu Eng. verifies integrity at minimum total cost based on experience in refineries!

Are you unsure where to start with the seismic resistance evaluation of existing high-pressure gas piping amid the increasing risk of major earthquakes? Idemitsu Engineering can confirm the integrity of your equipment at a total cost minimum based on our experience in refineries. 【Features】 - Based on our experience within Idemitsu facilities, we identify weak points in the piping through a walk-down inspection. - We conduct detailed evaluations only on the identified areas, minimizing evaluation costs. 【Benefits】 We can verify the seismic resistance of existing high-pressure gas piping built to past standards, ensuring reliability against future major earthquakes. (As of 2016, evaluation of existing piping is not mandatory, but there is a possibility that it may become mandatory in the future, similar to tanks.)

[Speaker] Naomasa Shibuya, Department Manager Data Marketing Unit, Strategy and Platform Division East Japan Railway Company Marketing Headquarters [Key Lecture Content] East Japan Railway Company announced a new group management vision, "Yusho 2034," aimed at realizing a rich life for all people by July 2025. In addition to the railway transportation business, we will further expand lifestyle service businesses (non-railway) such as station facilities, station buildings, hotels, and real estate, promoting human-centered marketing focused on our customers. To achieve this, data marketing utilizing usage history from Suica and JRE Point members is essential. It is not enough to simply implement tools or acquire analytical techniques; it is crucial to cultivate personnel who understand the business and can conduct appropriate data analysis and strategy planning. We will also introduce the development of job-type personnel in data marketing, which we began recruiting in 2024. In this lecture, I will discuss the key points for advancing data marketing within a business company, incorporating case studies.
