We will be exhibiting examples of metal powder applications for sintered transmission gears and SMC vehicle motor cores online at the "2021 ONLINE Automotive Technology Exhibition"!

High-load sintered gears produced by powder metallurgy can shorten the gear manufacturing process to less than 1/4, providing a new option that not only reduces size and weight but also improves gear characteristics.

The technology of powder metallurgy (PM) is widely adopted in various fields, including the automotive industry, as a sustainable "green" technology with a high material utilization rate (yield) close to 100% and low total energy consumption. By optimizing materials, process conditions, and design, it enables significant reductions in the number of steps previously required for processes such as gear cutting from steel, as well as lightweight and compact gear designs. Additionally, it allows for improvements in gear characteristics such as NVH, along with the addition of desired high functionality. 【Features】 - Elimination of gear cutting and hobbing allows for more than a 25% reduction in process time. - Significant reduction in the number of manufacturing equipment and installation area is possible. - Over 20% weight reduction can be achieved without additional processing steps such as hollowing or thinning. - A 15% reduction in bending and impact stress is possible with shape designs that are difficult with conventional methods. - Shape features such as marking can be added without any additional processes. - Integrated forming of gears and synchro cones can eliminate welding and preliminary processing steps. 【Exhibition Information】 Exhibition Name: 2021 Automotive Technology Exhibition Date: May 24 (Wed) to May 26 (Fri), 2021, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (until 5:00 PM on the final day) Venue: Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall (Booth Number: 160)

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.
