Announcement of Participation in the DMM Online Exhibition "Sustainable Energy Systems Expo Online"

As efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 accelerate, the introduction of storage batteries can contribute to decarbonization initiatives.

●Currently usable "Renewable Energy + Storage Batteries" By optimally operating renewable energy facilities with the introduction of storage batteries, efforts for decarbonization during normal times become possible. ●Long-term power outage measures with the introduction of storage batteries Balancing BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures and energy conservation. ●Support for formulating power outage measures Through partnership collaboration with NEC Networks & System Integration, comprehensive design proposals for storage batteries + renewable energy facilities are possible. To realize a decarbonized society, renewable energy is essential. However, since power generation output is affected by weather and other factors, it is necessary to store renewable electricity for stable supply of unstable power sources. In this case, large-capacity storage batteries are indispensable. Within the national decarbonization policy, there is a clear stance to support the utilization of a combination of renewable energy and storage batteries, and as the movement towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 accelerates, the introduction of storage batteries can contribute to decarbonization efforts. With the collaboration of industrial storage batteries and solar power generation, it is possible to respond with self-generated power and storage batteries until recovery, even if a power outage lasts for a long time. This leads to "safety and security" in preparation for unexpected power outages, as well as external "credibility and trust."

[Power Outage Measures] A portable small emergency battery that requires no installation / It allows for flexible power supply at necessary locations and for necessary purposes!

"Prepare with a Storage Battery System" In today's world, it is essential to be prepared to continue operations even during emergencies. The emergency small storage battery system 'LB0043PE4' stores and secures the necessary power, supporting the operation of equipment. It is active in the following places: General hospitals (maternity hospitals) / Tenant residential clinics / Tenant-occupied clinics / Community-based clinics / Research facilities / Social welfare facilities and elderly care facilities / Public facilities / BCP measures for general businesses ● Smooth mobility with large casters Equipped with larger casters, it allows for easy movement without strain, enabling flexible and agile responses. ● Can be used like a wall outlet With a high output of 1500W! It can handle inrush current and allows for power usage similar to that of a wall outlet. ● Sturdy, stable, and compact chassis design The chassis is made of 1.2mm thick steel plate, ensuring safety during disasters such as earthquakes. ● No installation required, easy to set up No dedicated manager or installation work is needed; it can be set up and used immediately after delivery. ● Power outage measures for ultra-low temperature freezers for COVID-19 vaccine storage It can connect to and supply power to ultra-low temperature freezers for vaccine storage provided to municipalities nationwide.

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.
