• Production Management System

It is a robust fluororesin diaphragm valve with minimal dead space and strong resistance to back pressure.

This is a fluororesin diaphragm valve (diaphragm valve) for chemical piping in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and chemical plants. It is compact and has high durability, capable of withstanding over 5 million open and close cycles. The flow path is smooth with a structure that minimizes dead space. It has a built-in auxiliary spring, which maintains sealing performance by pressing the diaphragm even if the resin deforms in low-temperature environments. It can also be manufactured with a maximum operating temperature specification of 180°C.

• valve

Fluororesin diaphragm valve ideal for abrasive fluids such as slurries.

This is a fluororesin valve designed for chemical piping in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and chemical plants. It features a diaphragm valve structure with low resistance, making it ideal for viscous liquids such as CMP slurry. Due to its low-resistance design, it can offer flow capacity more than twice that of competitors in certain sizes. Additionally, the body shape minimizes liquid accumulation, reducing the risk of contamination.

• CMP Equipment

[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. [Lecture Items] <1> Frontier Model (USA) <2> Frontier Model (China) <3> Technology Trends and AI Strategies for Japanese Companies <4> Q&A

[Speaker] Chief Expert Ji Hui, Future Creation Center, Nomura Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] *We plan to update with the latest information based on field research as necessary.* At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai in July 2026, Huawei unveiled its next-generation computing infrastructure products based on its proprietary AI chips, attracting significant attention. Amid ongoing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors, Huawei demonstrated its approach to overcoming the performance limits of standalone chips through "systems engineering," showcasing its commitment to leading the development of an autonomous AI ecosystem in China, encompassing computing infrastructure, cloud, OS, and AI models. Based on the latest field research results, this lecture will explain the latest trends in Huawei's AI strategy (computing infrastructure, AI models: AI social implementation, AI ecosystem, etc.) in the context of the overall landscape of China's AI industry.
