[SURTECH2018 Surface Technology Elements Exhibition] Notice of Exhibition Participation from February 14 to 16, 2018

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI" is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX). However, its effectiveness can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, which may, in turn, increase the burden of work. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being affected by the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations on the continued prosperity of your esteemed company. Our company will be exhibiting at the following trade show, where we will introduce a number of products, including our new product, the Pillow Packaging Full Air Tightness Inspection Machine MSQ-2003. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience during your busy schedule, but we would like to invite you to visit us at this opportunity. 【 Exhibition Name 】 JAPAN PACK 2025 Japan Packaging Industry Exhibition https://www.japanpack.jp/ 【 Dates 】 October 7 (Tuesday) to October 10 (Friday), 2025 *4 days 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM 【 Venue / Booth Number 】 Tokyo Big Sight / East Hall 8, Booth 8-505

We would like to inform you that we will be exhibiting our products at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Flavor and Fragrance. If you are planning to attend, please feel free to stop by. ❚ Products to be exhibited - Artificial Lipid Bilayer Experimental Device | Orbit mini This device allows for easy measurement of channel activity at the molecular level. It enables the formation of lipid membranes, reconstitution of membrane proteins, and single-channel measurements in experiments using artificial lipid bilayers, all performed with just a micropipette, facilitating functional and structural analysis of target membrane proteins and evaluation of drug effects. - Liposome Preparation Device | Vesicle Prep Pro This is the world's first device that can produce giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) with diameters ranging from 1 to 30 μm without the use of organic solvents, utilizing the electroporation method (vibrating hydrated lipid films in an alternating electric field). - Auto Patch Clamp System | Port-a-Patch mini This compact system eliminates the need for a microscope, vibration isolation table, manipulator, and Faraday cage, which are typically required for conventional patch clamp experiments. It allows for easy data acquisition and verification without the need for specialized skills or experience.

In this seminar, we will specifically introduce the case of Banshu Warehouse, which successfully transitioned from a legacy system to a new WMS and promoted logistics DX, in collaboration with our company that was responsible for the implementation. 【What You Will Learn in This Seminar】 Key points to consider when making implementation decisions as a leader How to advance DX successfully without making "implementation the goal" Practical know-how for launching a new system without confusion 【Case Highlights】 ◎ Introduction to a site with no experience using handheld terminals ◎ Timing for detailed location management This case is filled with insights from the field and decision-making points from a management perspective. If you are considering WMS renewal or logistics DX, please take this opportunity to participate. 【Recommended For】 - Representatives from small to large manufacturing and logistics companies (management, manufacturing department, DX department) - Those who have been using legacy core systems (AS400) but feel the need for renewal - Those who want to engage in logistics DX but have limited internal resources due to having fewer than 50 employees - Those who are concerned about potential confusion in the field after implementing a new system, among other challenges.

■ Seminar Overview Based on the content of patents and applicant information, we will visualize a company's technical strengths, referred to as the "Patent Strength Zone." Using the next-generation technology "Perovskite Solar Cells" as a subject, we will introduce an analytical approach to discover untapped business areas (blue oceans). This seminar provides practical tips for utilizing intellectual property in corporate planning, business development, and new business proposals. ■ What You Will Gain from the Seminar - Methods for organizing and visualizing patent rights as "Strength Zones" - Areas of focus for companies visible through patent data - Utilizing patent data to extract untapped areas (blue oceans) - Practical tips for leveraging intellectual property in corporate planning and business development - Perspectives useful for considering cross-industry entry and M&A ■ Recommended For - Corporate planning and business development personnel who want to incorporate patent information into management strategy - Intellectual property and planning department members engaged in new business proposals utilizing IP landscapes - Researchers and developers looking to advance the application of their company's technology or explore technology seeds
