ESI IC.IDO Online Seminar: LIVE XR Event 2021 - Accelerating DX in the Product Development Process, Aiming for Zero Prototyping Development -

Real-time product design and verification are now possible! A VR solution for manufacturing that helps avoid design flaws at an early stage and supports front-loading.

IC.IDO is a VR solution developed for the manufacturing industry, utilized by over 100 customers both domestically and internationally through VR verification using real-time simulation technology. In addition to basic functions of the VR system, such as compatibility with CAD, it features finger and hand tracking capabilities that allow users to grasp and move objects, enabling realistic verification of assembly, fitting, and maintainability of parts. It also includes body tracking functionality to confirm the validity of working postures. Furthermore, with the addition of inter-site communication capabilities, it has become possible to share verification and issues using the same product model in the same VR space from remote locations. These outstanding technologies support efficiency improvements such as reduced man-hours, cost savings, and enhanced quality. **Features** - Realization of front-loading through virtual verification: Reduces errors without prototypes, minimizing defects and rework man-hours. - Reduced dependence on physical prototypes: Contributes to cost savings by decreasing the number of necessary prototypes. - Increased verification perspectives and shortened development cycle time: Visualizes hard-to-see areas, improving quality through early and deep product understanding. - Communication across departments and locations: Accelerates decision-making. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

In connectors that connect various hardware such as automobiles, industrial equipment, and communication devices, low-cost Sn-plated products are widely used. However, there are also cases where attention is needed regarding the reliability specific to Sn-plated contacts. In this webinar, based on actual connector failure cases that have occurred in the market, we will explain the process leading to the identification of causes for typical failure modes such as: - Whiskers (short circuit failures) - Fretting wear (contact failures) Furthermore, we will systematically introduce the organization of failures through the FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) of the entire connector, as well as each failure mechanism. ■ Technical content to be explained: - FTA structure of connector failures - Mechanism of whisker formation and evaluation methods - Mechanism of fretting wear and evaluation methods ■ Introduction of future evaluation technologies: - High-temperature and high-humidity fretting wear testing (scheduled for introduction in December 2026)

[Speaker] Arthur D. Little Japan, Inc. Partner Daisuke Tateno Principal Yuga Yabuuchi Manager Haruka Mano [Key Lecture Content] EVs, wind power generation, smartphones, and AI data centers. The "invisible heart" that drives all growth industries from within is neodymium magnets. This innovation from Japan is now facing a surge in demand projected to triple by 2040, while supply is unable to keep up, leading to an anticipated global shortage of over 40%. In this seminar, we will explain the structure of the supply-demand gap, the tectonic shifts in the industry referred to as "Mine to Magnet," and the business opportunities for Japanese companies arising in the various layers of raw materials, manufacturing equipment, magnets, and users. We will provide insights from a management perspective on how to turn supply-demand constraints into opportunities. [Lecture Items] 1. The Invisible Heart - Why Neodymium Magnets Now? 2. "Mine to Magnet" - Tectonic Shifts in Player Structure 3. The True Nature of the Supply-Demand Gap - Two Challenges and Five Solutions 4. Business Opportunities for Japanese Companies - Opportunities from a Value Chain Overview 5. Turning Supply-Demand Constraints into Opportunities - Summary and Questions 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
