[Virtual Lab Tour] Reliability Testing Lab

This explains various tests related to the reliability, lifespan, and durability of automotive components required by international standards and unique standards of domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers.

The increasing trend in the market for reliability evaluation testing is attributed to the recent advancements in electrification and digitalization, which have led to an increase in components and, consequently, an increase in testing itself. Additionally, the growing adoption of new materials such as resin and composite materials is also a factor contributing to the rise in testing. Among these, automotive electronics components are particularly noted for their increasing demand. These components are exposed to harsh environments, including temperature and humidity changes, vibrations, heat, water, and dust, necessitating testing under various conditions to ensure proper functionality. The adoption of new components leads to a greater number of parts, which in turn increases the testing requirements. Furthermore, for automotive manufacturers, component manufacturers, and material manufacturers conducting tests, the investment costs associated with maintaining the latest testing equipment in-house to accommodate the increasing number of components and new materials can be a significant burden. As a result, there has been a rise in cases where reliability evaluation testing is outsourced to external laboratories. In light of this situation, our company is enhancing and expanding our specialized and advanced testing facilities to meet the new testing demands.

We will introduce UL Solutions' approach to the challenges of reliability testing, along with specific examples.

We will introduce the challenges received from customers and how UL Solutions has addressed these challenges, incorporating specific test items and standards. [Content Overview (Excerpt)] 1. Unique testing for performance appeal is possible We propose test items for new products considering their applications, structures, and target markets. We also adopt test items that are not typically conducted in standard reliability tests. 2. Customized testing plans to meet your requests We flexibly accommodate testing that combines multiple standards with short lead times and customized testing environments. 3. UL Solutions as one of the internal evaluation departments For outsourcing of in-house standards or partial outsourcing of series standards, we collaborate with other UL Solutions testing facilities to align testing environments. We can conduct environmental testing and EMC testing in a one-stop manner.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

You can take an online tour of the expanded reliability testing lab.

In April 2019, we established a reliability testing lab and began conducting reliability tests (environmental tests and durability tests) for onboard equipment as required by international standards and the unique standards of domestic and international automobile manufacturers. To further enhance our services for onboard equipment and to respond to the rapidly increasing demand for reliability testing of mobility components, we expanded the reliability testing lab within our headquarters in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, and commenced operations on September 1, 2020. In this virtual lab tour, you can view the expanded lab online. You can check not only the performance and functions of the equipment but also the spacing and arrangement between the devices, just like in an actual on-site lab tour.

This is a course where you can systematically learn the knowledge and skills necessary for management positions from the perspectives of leadership and labor management, and strengthen your "ability to motivate people." It is open to one participant per company. Content: - The ideal image of a leader - Team building that creates results - Ways to communicate that engage people - Methods for guiding and developing subordinates - Rules of labor management - Prevention of harassment - Mental health in the workplace Here are some comments from participants: - I have dreamed of becoming the best team, so I will share this with my members and take steps forward! - If I communicate what I am not doing to the staff, I won't gain their support. I will express it through my own actions. - The phrase "Strategies to enhance motivation without human relationships are meaningless" resonated with me. - I had no knowledge about labor issues, and it was a learning experience. I will study to be able to respond as a leader. We look forward to your participation. *Details can be downloaded from "Product Information." *For inquiries and applications, please contact us below or visit our website or call us. *Registration will close once we reach capacity.

We want to improve our operations with AI, but what exactly can we do... For those who want to actually try out and compare services, we have an announcement. The electronic contract and document management service paperlogic will be exhibiting at the 'Business Innovation Fair 2025 Autumn in Makuhari' hosted by Otsuka Shokai on November 13th (Thursday) and 14th (Friday) at the Hotel Green Tower Makuhari. Seminars on business improvement and AI utilization will also be held, so if you are nearby, please come and visit us. ● We will also be conducting product demonstrations of paperlogic at the venue. The biggest feature of paperlogic is that it is easy to use and simple, yet it complies with all document management regulations, including the Electronic Bookkeeping Act. We invite you to experience this simplicity firsthand.

At our center, we regularly hold a lecture series called the "Environmental Science Seminar" aimed at providing and promoting information related to the environment and hygiene for citizens. This year, it will take place on Saturday, November 15th. We are pleased to have Dr. Takeshi Ochiai from the Kanagawa Prefectural Institute of Industrial Technology, a local independent administrative institution, deliver a lecture titled "The Future of Living Created by Photocatalysts." Photocatalysts are materials that use natural forces such as light and water to decompose and remove dirt and harmful substances. While it may sound complicated, they are actually utilized in everyday products like wall materials, window glass, and air purifiers. In this seminar, we will clearly introduce photocatalysts, a dream material that is environmentally friendly, safe, and contributes to the future of society. Additionally, we will set up an exhibition booth where you can experience the effects of photocatalysts, so please come and try it out.

Our company will exhibit equipment at the "69th Space Science and Technology Union Conference." We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Japan Filtration Group Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "10th Drink Japan" held at Makuhari Messe. On December 5th (Friday), we plan to introduce our research facility "Filter Lab," established in Boston, equipped with advanced equipment and cultivation facilities, to respond timely to various customer needs for verification and product development in the exhibitor seminar area within the exhibition venue. The director, who has been involved in filter experiments for many years, will explain microbial control through the sterilization and verification methods of Levilactobacillus brevis and Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, which are spoilage bacteria found in fruit juice and wine.
