Webinar: Not a Dry Topic at All - Explosion Safety of Dryers

Add-on module for explosion vents that can reduce hazardous areas.

TARGO-VENT limits the opening angle of explosion vents to protect people, vehicles, and buildings. While providing optimal protection against explosions, it allows for a reduction in hazardous areas and ensures a wider usable workspace. 【Benefits of Use】 ◆ Reduces the area required for explosion safety in front of the vent, leading to productive use of valuable work areas. ◆ The area needed for explosion venting is smaller than when using deflectors. ◆ Enables infrastructure protection at a low cost. ◆ Ensures safe routes for people and vehicle passage while achieving a reduction in the required explosion safety area. ◆ Modifications using TARGO-VENT enhance the safety of existing facilities. ◆ Using stainless copper eliminates maintenance needs and ensures a long lifespan.

With Q-Rohr, we provide the best possible explosion safety guarantee while using the optimal layout for your production facility.

Safety and operational efficiency can coexist. Q-Rohr enables explosion venting without flames or dust in a sealed indoor environment. There is no need for complex ducting and the associated rearrangement of production equipment for outdoor venting. With Q-Rohr, we provide the best possible explosion safety guarantee while utilizing the optimal layout for your production facility. Furthermore, Q-Rohr is also very advantageous in terms of running costs. By eliminating vent ducts, you can save not only on installation costs but also on maintenance and upkeep expenses. ▶ Applications Q-Rohr is ideal for indoor installations where there is a risk of dust or gas explosions. It offers a wide range of flexible installation options, so many new plants are directly equipped with Q-Rohr. Modifications are also easily possible. Q-Rohr can be used to protect filters, dryers, and cyclones, and is applicable for gases, hybrid mixtures, metal dust, molten dust, fibers, and more. ▶ Mechanism Flame gases reaching up to 1,500°C are cooled very efficiently within a specially developed stainless steel mesh filter inlet by REMBE. This reduces the amount of gas discharged and helps to quell explosions.

In addition to the grounding monitoring system and spark extinguishing system, the GSME series and HOTSPOT series detectors significantly contribute to the improvement of explosion-proof safety.

▶ Prevention of Explosions and Fires Equipment that poses a risk of dust explosions often has active explosion prevention measures in place, especially since ignition sources are frequently unavoidable. In addition to static electricity and mechanically generated sparks, the most common ignition sources include glowing embers, open flames, and high-temperature surfaces. In addition to grounding monitoring systems and spark extinguishing systems, the new GSME series and HOTSPOT series detectors significantly enhance explosion safety. Detectors from both series are designed to detect combustion reactions and heat sources that could ultimately become ignition sources for explosions at an early stage. ▶ Applications The HOTSPOT thermal imaging detector and the compact gas detection detector GSME are specifically designed for the early detection of heat surfaces and fires in dust handling equipment such as silos, dryers, mills, conveyors, and dust collectors.

Advantech Toyo will be exhibiting at the trade show "JASIS 2026," which will be held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall. At this exhibition, manufacturers of analytical and scientific instruments will gather to showcase cutting-edge scientific and analytical systems and solutions. At our booth, we will display filter products for microbiological testing and environmental analysis, water quality testing products, pure and ultra-pure water production equipment, and culture-related equipment. Additionally, we will also showcase analytical balances from Mettler Toledo, along with equipment from other well-regarded manufacturers in the industry. Our sales and technical staff will be available to assist with product selection, so please feel free to stop by!

[Speaker] Ayaka Motomura, Consultant, Business Transformation Unit, NTT Data Management Research Institute [Key Lecture Content] With the advancement of Physical AI, telecommunications carriers have the opportunity to evolve from being "companies that provide lines" to companies that connect and control AI and the physical world in real-time. This seminar will organize the changes in communication demand brought about by Physical AI and the business opportunities for telecommunications carriers, while explaining the role of AIOps as the first step towards entry. Furthermore, it will discuss strategies for monetizing in the Physical AI market by deploying the operational intelligence accumulated through AIOps to network APIs and industry-specific services, as well as the layers that telecommunications carriers should hold. [Lecture Topics] Chapter 1: The Competitive Structure of the "Real World" Rewritten by Physical AI Chapter 2: Reasons Why Opportunities for "Reversal" Arise for Telecommunications Carriers in the Era of Physical AI Chapter 3: The First Step Towards Physical AI Chapter 4: Shifting AIOps from "Defense" to "Offense" Chapter 5: The Layers to Hold in the Era of Physical AI [Q&A / Business Card Exchange]

[Instructor] Partner Ryoji Mori, Eichi Law Office [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will explain the revised Personal Information Protection Act of 2028. The three-year review this time is a major revision, and it is essential to first understand where and how the revisions have been made, as well as the overall picture of the amendments. Next, we will explain the individual amendments that are practically important. The key points are as follows, but it is important to note that both the strengthening and relaxation of obligations are occurring simultaneously, increasing overall complexity. At the time of the lecture, it is expected that subordinate laws and guidelines will not yet be published, but we will discuss points that require attention upon publication. We will distinguish between what is necessary across businesses and what varies by industry. [Lecture Items] 1. Expansion of consent exceptions: Relaxation of the difficulty of obtaining consent and expansion of academic research institutions 2. Statistical exceptions: System content and how to read complex provisions (plus learning about acceptability from controversies) 3. Strengthening regulations on biometric information and children's information: Caution required for age verification 4. Contactable personal-related information: Changes in external transmission responses 5. Review of outsourcing regulations: Addition and removal of obligations for contractors 6. Administrative fines: Narrow target range and low amounts (not worth fearing) 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] Innovation Analyst Andy Kondo [Key Lecture Content] *The latest content will be added (changed) as appropriate based on the on-site survey of IAA Transportation 2026.* From September 15 to 20, 2026, the largest commercial vehicle exhibition in Europe, IAA Transportation, will be held in Hanover, Germany. It is a gathering place for manufacturers of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, as well as the parts, energy, and software that support them, occurring every two years. The cost structure of logistics, urban transportation and the environment, energy transition, decarbonization efforts, and a microcosm of the industry will reveal the future business environment just a step ahead. In this seminar, an innovation analyst who has been observing major global exhibitions such as CES and Hannover Messe for many years will report shortly after the event based on on-site coverage. Has autonomous driving become the main focus in commercial vehicles? Where is the energy transition for large vehicles settling in terms of batteries, hydrogen, and alternative fuels? How far have Chinese companies come? Based on photos taken at the venue and observations of actual products, the seminar will delve into the implications for Japanese companies.
