They offer high precision (0.5μm), robustness (vibration resistance of 30G, IP68/69K, pressure resistance of 80MPa, CE compliance), and a maximum measurement length of 20m, along with a variety of interfaces. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly where high-precision and real-time position measurement is required, such as in press mold positioning, pillar strain compensation, motor feedback, and hydraulic cylinder position detection. Additionally, the movable parts only require magnets for position detection, eliminating the need for power/signal cables. This contributes to cost reduction for customers as they do not require regular maintenance, cleaning, or cooling.

[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.
