• controller

It is a direct through-flow type instrument that applies the principle of a constant temperature anemometer.

The gas digital mass flow meter (flow meter) and controller have achieved a flow range coverage from 0.01…0.2 ln/min to 100…5000 ln/min (Air) as a result of continuous performance improvement efforts, resulting in a standardized and extensive product lineup in line with M+W's strategy. The instrument operates with an IP65 protection rating and is driven by a mainboard equipped with all the functions necessary for accurate flow measurement and control. The instrument is provided in commonly used digital or analog input/output forms. In addition to the standard RS232, it also supports communication protocols such as Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, Flow-Bus, and ModBus-RTU as standard options. A key element and innovative improvement is the modern multi-color, multi-function standard option indicator setting device. We offer instruments with an excellent price-to-performance ratio. This instrument can be used in laboratories, production facilities, and many industries. For more details, please download the catalog.

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source.
