TOCAT8-ZMPC2018 Yokohama Luncheon Seminar and Corporate Exhibition

For process development, optimal plant design, and operational optimization studies! Simulators for the oil, gas, and chemical industries.

In plant design, equipment sizing, process consideration, and operational optimization, PSE believes that existing process simulators still have room for improvement in terms of convergence for obtaining numerical solutions, constraints of processes they can handle, and customization of process models (model extensibility). The process simulation software developed to meet the needs for more advanced and value-added process plant design and optimization is 'gPROMS Process'. 【Features】 * Libraries for specific applications * Creation of flow sheets using Drag & Drop * High-precision custom model creation and editing functions using gPROMS language * Changes in settings within the same environment from steady-state simulation models to dynamic simulation models * Powerful optimization solution search and analysis functions * Global System Analysis (GSA) * High-Performance Computing (HPC) ★ You can view two "case study materials" available for download. These include examples of achieving high-value product offerings and cost reduction through batch process optimization, as well as successful cases of cost reduction through the optimization of entire plants.

This is a simulation model of a fixed bed catalytic reactor. It can be used for estimating reaction parameters, estimating catalyst life, cooling design, and operational optimization studies.

Fixed bed catalytic reactors are used for the production of various chemical raw materials, and their applications are wide-ranging. AML:FBCR is characterized by being a basic tool for the automatic estimation of reaction parameters for catalyst pellets in laboratory experiments, which can be scaled up for pilot or actual equipment studies. It is used as a model library on the simulation platform gPROMS ProcessBuilder. Furthermore, it allows for the representation of various units, including reactors, as a single process on one flow sheet, enabling the optimization of the entire plant. By using parameters adjusted based on experimental data in a precise kinetic model expressed by multiple equations and chemical reaction equations, the fundamental idea is to accurately predict the behavior of actual equipment with high model accuracy. Additionally, parameter estimation is also possible in the actual equipment model, expanding its applications such as estimating catalyst degradation.

Berry Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroshi Nakano) will hold a free online seminar titled "Evolved with AI! - A Comprehensive Explanation of eQMS 'QMSmart' from Basics to Latest Updates," which will explain the overall picture and latest updates of the cloud-based eQMS "QMSmart" with a live screen demo, on August 21, 2026 (Friday) from 14:00 to 15:00. This seminar is aimed at those considering the introduction of eQMS, as well as quality assurance, design development, and manufacturing personnel at medical device manufacturers who feel limited by paper and Excel-based QMS operations, as well as management. Participants will be able to see the evolved QMSmart in its entirety in one hour, following this summer's major update.

Takaya Corporation will be exhibiting at the "36th Microelectronics Symposium (MES2026)" held at Osaka University Nakanoshima Center from September 16 (Wednesday) to 18 (Friday), 2026. MES2026 is one of Japan's leading technical symposiums in the field of electronics packaging. The symposium will focus on implementation technologies that support the high functionality, miniaturization, and high reliability of electronic devices, featuring the latest research results and technological trends from universities, research institutions, and companies. Additionally, technical exchanges and information sharing will take place through corporate exhibitions. At our booth, we will introduce the features of the Flying Probe Tester "APT Series" and solutions that contribute to quality improvement, as well as offer consultations regarding inspection processes. We invite you to stop by the Takaya booth during your visit.

In this session, we will thoroughly analyze case studies of three major chemical accidents that occurred in the past! When we unravel the root causes of these accidents, we find a common pattern of "lack of safety management systems" rather than just equipment failure or chemical reactions. We will introduce specific solutions to bridge the three gaps of "Visibility," "Control," and "Preparedness," and discuss Chemwatch's efforts to prevent risks before they occur. For any questions, please contact us at japan@chemwatch.net. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

While the business utilization of generative AI (such as ChatGPT) is rapidly advancing, the "security risk of confidential information such as on-site data, proprietary manuals, and customer information being sent to the cloud" has become a significant issue. Until now, the high cost of GPU servers and the necessity of relying on the cloud for model intelligence have been challenges. However, this premise is now undergoing a major change. With the emergence of Google's latest open model, 'Gemma4', we have finally entered an era where it is possible to operate with "intelligence equal to or greater than that of the cloud" at "one-third the hardware cost of traditional setups," and within "a secure, company-exclusive server completely isolated from the internet." We will introduce the latest trends in AI implementation along with our company's latest DX solutions.
