A free seminar will be held on March 1st at Tokyo Big Sight! We will explain the topic "Introduction to the latest electrode material slurry dispersion technology for EV batteries and PEFC electrode slurry dispersion technology," incorporating examples of our product, Filmix(R).

[Video Available] Capable of producing highly stable electrode material slurries! A mixer for nanoparticle dispersion that achieves a sharp particle size distribution and micronization to nanometers.

Filmix® is a mixer (dispersion stirring device) that enables sharp particle size distribution and micronization to nanometer sizes, which was difficult with conventional high-speed stirrers. It significantly shortens development time for battery device manufacturing, such as lithium-ion batteries and capacitors, through emulsification and dispersion in seconds. The 56-L model can operate in both batch and continuous modes on a tabletop. Once the conditions are set in batch mode, continuous experiments can be conducted by setting up a line. This single unit can be compactly used from research and development to small-scale production! ◆◇━━━━━━━━━━━ 　　　Testing Now Available! ━━━━━━━━━━━━◇◆ If you have materials that are challenging for dispersion or homogenization, please give it a try! We are currently offering two booklets related to battery and fuel cell manufacturing as a gift! 　◎ 'Battery Device Measures Booklet'　　 　◎ 'Booklet on Fuel Cell MEA Manufacturing' *If you would like to request a test or booklets, please feel free to contact us.

Continuous manufacturing process and equipment for electrode slurry using Filmix® developed for dispersing electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells.

CDM stands for Continuous Dispersion Mixing, which is a continuous manufacturing process for electrode slurries using Filmix® developed for the dispersion applications of electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells. The nanoparticle design mixer (dispersion stirring device) Filmix® 56-L type is compatible with both batch and continuous processes. It can also be used by setting up a continuous line on a tabletop. ▼▼ Basic Procedure for Continuous Operation ▼▼ 1) Preliminary dispersion with a homodisperse or similar device 2) Transfer of the processing liquid using a pump 3) Dispersion with Filmix® ■ This single unit can be compactly used from research and development to small-scale production! ■ There are many successful scale-up cases from research machines to production machines! ◆◇━━━━━━━━━━ 　　Testing Now Available! ━━━━━━━━━━━◇◆ If you have materials that are problematic for dispersion or homogenization, please give it a try.

We will be holding a free webinar to achieve the retention and early development of inexperienced personnel, not just relying on hiring experienced workers. On the day of the event, we will introduce initiatives for training and early development in the manufacturing industry, focusing on the fields of welding and machining, along with actual case studies. ◾️ Recommended for those who have the following concerns: - Unable to hire experienced workers - Hired workers leave quickly - It takes time to develop inexperienced hires into productive members - There is no time for training on-site If any of these apply to you, it may not only be "recruitment" that needs to be reviewed, but also the "training system." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ Webinar Overview "Even without hiring experienced workers, the workplace can become stronger." We will unveil a training model that achieves the retention and early development of inexperienced personnel without solely relying on recruitment. ■ Date and Time July 10 (Friday) 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM ■ Method of Holding Online (Zoom) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Lecturer] Professor Toshihiko Okano, Faculty of Business Administration, Osaka University of Economics and Law [Key Lecture Content] The development of generative AI is significantly changing the structure of digital competition. The main battleground is shifting from smartphones to "physical AI" such as autonomous driving and robotics, and the era is one where competitiveness is determined by "the speed of learning and the frequency of improvements" in real environments. In this context, Chinese tech companies are accelerating the construction of AI learning loops, or "AI ecosystems," that span both internal and external environments. Based on the Nikkei Cross Tech series "Chinese Tech: Survival Strategies in the Era of Physical AI," this lecture will analyze the initiatives of representative Chinese tech companies as case studies, presenting trends in digital management in the era of physical AI and insights for Japanese companies. [Lecture Items] 1. The evolution process of digitalization in China: 2. Case Study 1: Huawei's technology management 3. Case Study 2: UBTECH Robotics 4. Case Study 3: Horizon Robotics 5. Case Study 4: Ehang's pursuit of infrastructure hegemony in the "low-altitude economy" 6. The competitive structure in the era of physical AI 7. Q&A
