• Other inspection equipment and devices

It is resistant to shock/vibration, so it can be installed anywhere! Various wavelengths of reading light sources can be incorporated.

The "Contact Image Sensor Appearance Inspection System" can capture images without distortion at any part of a wide workpiece, including the center and edges. When comparing the captured images, the images taken with a line sensor camera showed distortion at the edges of the field of view, while the images taken with the contact image sensor camera had no distortion at the edges. Additionally, because it reads in close contact, there is less loss of light and reduced power consumption. 【Features】 ■ High uniformity of resolution for image inspection across the entire width of the workpiece ■ Reduced light loss and power consumption due to close contact reading ■ Capable of incorporating various wavelength reading light sources (visible light / ultraviolet / infrared) ■ Resistant to shock and vibration, allowing for flexible installation locations *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a super high-resolution image processing system using a 16K line sensor camera with a master registration method!

The "Pattern Appearance Inspection System" captures ultra-high-resolution images using monochrome/color line sensor cameras (up to 16K) and accurately detects various defects such as open, short, chipping, foreign objects, and unevenness. The inspection target pattern contour is enclosed with straight lines, and the master shape is registered to individually inspect the inside and outside of the contour. Detection intensity can be set individually. Depending on customer needs, it can also be provided as a tabletop manual inspection device or an automatic inspection device equipped with loaders/unloaders. 【Features】 ■ Adopts a master registration method ■ Captures good product work images and registers varieties in the master ■ Multiple registrations possible (learning function) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Dimension Measurement System" analyzes images captured by a camera to measure the dimensions of objects. It registers measurement methods and measurement points as standards (values) in advance, allowing for instant dimension measurement while reducing measurement errors caused by manual work. As for the measurement image and principle, it first detects the boundaries of objects in the image. From the detected edges, it performs approximation processing for various shapes and measures dimensions through various geometric calculations. Depending on customer needs, it can also be offered as a tabletop manual inspection device or an automatic inspection device equipped with loaders/unloaders. 【Features】 ■ Simplifies the dimension measurement process for industrial products ■ Analyzes images captured by a camera to measure object dimensions ■ Registers measurement methods and measurement points as standards (values) in advance ■ Enables instant dimension measurement ■ Reduces measurement errors caused by manual work *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Daiki Suzuki, Senior Researcher, Nature and Climate Division, SOMPO Institute Plus Inc. [Key Lecture Content] As we enter 2025, global environmental and sustainability regulations are at a turning point. There are rapid movements of backlash, such as the retreat of U.S. climate policy under the second Trump administration and the simplification of regulations symbolized by the EU's omnibus bill. While the situation is difficult to predict, long-term demands such as investor expectations and decarbonization continue, and in Japan, the mandatory disclosure of sustainability is steadily progressing. In this lecture, we will overview the complex domestic and international situations surrounding sustainability and explore the direction companies should take in the future, incorporating case analyses. [Lecture Topics] 1. Overview of sustainability regulations 2. Unchanging expectations of capital markets and long-term trends 3. Detailed analysis of regional regulations 4. New regulatory frontiers 5. Direction of corporate responses, etc. 6. Q&A

[Instructor] Attorney Shinya Tsuchiya, Ishizaki & Yamanaka Law Office [Key Lecture Content] When various problematic behaviors occur among employees, such as poor work attitude, harassment, and lack of cooperation, if the employer mismanages the response, it can not only significantly disrupt workplace order and operational efficiency but also potentially invalidate the legal effectiveness of disciplinary actions or personnel measures taken against the employee in question. To avoid such risks, appropriate and consistent responses based on employment regulations and internal systems are required. On the other hand, dealing with "problematic employees" often places a significant psychological and practical burden on busy supervisors and HR personnel. In order to maintain smooth business operations, it has become essential to provide support to those responding and to prepare as an organization. In this seminar, we will systematically organize practical knowledge that is useful in the field, focusing on legal points and practical strategies to consider when responding to various types of "problematic employees" that have recently become more apparent, while assuming specific scenarios.

[Instructor] Takahisa Saito, Human Resources Consultant, Saito Social Insurance and Labor Office [Key Lecture Content] Human resource systems support the foundation of an organization. However, if the operation is neglected, the system itself will collapse. There are various systems, but among them, the "grade system, evaluation system, and wage system" can be considered the three major elements. We must design these three major elements with operational considerations in mind. In other words, it is important that the system is easy for management to operate. There is no need to overthink it. Additionally, as work style reforms progress, we must also consider the response to equal pay for equal work. I believe that what lies ahead after organizing the current situation is the "limited regular employee" system. In this seminar, we will share anticipated information and provide clear explanations. Furthermore, for those attending in person, meaningful information exchange is possible through mutual confirmation during Q&A sessions. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends and Perspectives Surrounding Human Resources 2. Basics of the Grade System 3. Basics of the Evaluation System 4. Basics of the Wage System 5. Considering Equal Pay and Job-Based Employment 6.
