9/22 [Learning from Examples] Key Points to Avoid Failure When Implementing IoT

"This system exists!" It's a system for manufacturing sites that enables product traceability management from arrival to shipment!

We not only digitize and collect the movements of people and machines in real-time, but we also accumulate them as meaningful value-added information in accordance with the movements of objects. By analyzing and utilizing detailed information that has not been managed until now, we will realize next-generation Kaizen activities and efficiency improvements. ● Feature 1: Intuitive and Easy Operators on-site can intuitively use the system with just a touch on a tablet. ● Feature 2: IoT We can achieve IoT integration not only with data from PLCs but also in environments where older equipment and machinery from various manufacturers are in operation. ● Feature 3: Versatile The system has the capability to manage the entire process of manufacturing from entry to exit. It enables traceability from receiving to inventory, stocktaking, input, production, inspection, and shipping. ● Feature 4: Flexible We can accommodate the unique needs of 100 companies in 100 different ways. In addition to providing standard system functions, we can incorporate the Kaizen know-how that has been accumulated on-site into the system. ● Feature 5: Small Start We offer licenses that can be introduced for each necessary function. Functions can be expanded according to the proficiency level of the on-site staff.

Our company, the Steel Strip Company, will exhibit at the International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Expo in February 2024. We will showcase stainless steel strips for fuel cell separators.

[Speaker] Fujikei Co., Ltd. Mobility Solutions Division Chief Harunobu Okubo [Key Lecture Content] The thermal management system for EVs is being integrated with the aim of reducing weight, saving space, and cutting costs and labor. Due to fluctuations in EV demand, the market is undergoing significant transformation, requiring suppliers to offer a diverse range of products and make stringent investment decisions. Additionally, with the increase in heat generation from core components, heat dissipation materials are polarizing into high heat dissipation, high value-added products and low-cost, mass-consumption products. This seminar will introduce trends in the chaotic recent EV thermal management market from both the overall structure and key component perspectives. [Lecture Items] 1. Background and overall structure of the thermal management market 2. Market trends of core components (cooling and heating materials) 3. Market trends of heat dissipation materials 4. Market trends of battery fire-resistant insulation materials 5. Outlook and fluctuating factors of the thermal management market 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Yuko Okada, President and CEO, M's Communicate Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the renewal of point services has accelerated across various industries. The underlying trend is a significant shift where points have evolved from mere promotional measures to a strategic foundation for building relationships with customers. In this seminar, we will systematically organize the essence of this evolution based on the concept of 'Point Service 3.0'. We will explain the sources of effectiveness based on behavioral economics, the latest trends by industry, and the perspectives required in the era of engagement, while exploring the potential and direction of point services moving forward. [Lecture Items] 1. Evolution of Point Services (1.0 to 3.0) 2. Understanding the Essential Effects of Points through Behavioral Economics 3. Current Status and Strategic Choices of Common Points and Proprietary Points 4. Case Studies of Evolution in Point Services by Industry 5. The Era Where UI/UX Determines the Value of Points 6. Expansion into BtoB and BtoE and Applications for Organizational Activation 7. New Possibilities Unlocked by Future Point Services 8. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

[Speaker] Yuka Sawai, Team Leader of Biodiversity, Sustainability Consulting Office, Dentsu Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of biodiversity in Japan while unraveling the changing values of "coexistence with nature" that are emerging among future consumers. Through quantitative and qualitative research targeting university students, we will reveal signs that the values sought in coexistence are shifting towards "multi-well-being." We will organize the potential that nature holds for consumers and explain how a company's attitude towards "coexistence with nature" can influence its evaluation, especially now that sustainability has become the norm. Additionally, we will present five perspectives for translating the value of coexistence into a company's strengths.

Silver Son Nippon Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at FOOMA JAPAN 2026, one of the largest food manufacturing exhibitions in the world, held in June! This year's theme for FOOMA is 'The Shift is On.' We will face the turning point in the food manufacturing industry and discover and create new value as a 'starting point for change.' We will showcase our Flash Mix, which demonstrates powerful performance even with difficult-to-handle powders, and batch mixers that are widely adopted by major food manufacturing companies. We invite you to see the actual products and experience the power of our high-shear mixers.
