It has been over 40 years since we introduced our dynamic balancing adjustment for turbo machinery. We have been utilized in various turbo machines, primarily steam turbine generators and gas turbine generators. From that starting point, we have been active worldwide as a permanent vibration monitoring device. We have further developed a model equipped with the capability to monitor the overall condition of the equipment. It is capable of collecting various signals, starting with vibration waveform signals. It is possible to establish alarm circuits for operators and early warning notification circuits for engineers. Furthermore, it can be integrated with various analysis systems.

The one-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD" has previously been utilized either for file transfer or UDP communication. We have now added a new "OPC UA communication" feature! OPC UA, which is platform-independent and seamlessly integrates communication information across various standards, offers exceptional flexibility and enhances connectivity benefits throughout the entire production process. As automation progresses, the production environment becomes even smoother. We will continue to promote the standardization of industrial communication technologies. It enables mutual "dialogue" between different technologies without the risk of erroneous communication, but crossing segments that do not need to "dialogue" can create security holes. This is where the "OWCD" comes into play. Even when using firewalls and switches to configure the information transmission circuit, maintenance can be cumbersome, and mistakes can occur, while outdated firmware may fail to prevent passage. The "OPC UA compatibility" of the OWCD allows for one-way communication without any configuration, making it hassle-free and reliable. We will respond to the future security needs of critical infrastructure and various production facilities!! There is an explanatory video at the related link below!

The OWCD, which has received high praise, is provided from an air gap based on the premise of utilizing your existing assets, while other companies sell it alongside computers that perform data proxy and conversion decoding. However, when collecting and transmitting data as IoT, there is a desire to install everything at once in a compact size, especially when flowing data from OT to IT or when wanting to add to existing complex systems. To address this, we have launched the 3"i," which integrates the OWCD2 and a computer for signal conversion and decoding, allowing for easy incorporation into the network. However, this model does not offer particularly high performance and has not fully met various needs. Therefore, we have renewed it. Additionally, for customers who find the previous model insufficient for IoT purposes, we will also provide the -G"i." This will enable the promotion of data visualization within completely independent production equipment networks, ensuring security while actively improving yield rates, quality, and condition monitoring.

The Data Diode is a system that only allows information to be transmitted to core systems/data while ensuring that external communications are effectively blocked. However, what if bidirectional communication is necessary...? What about remote maintenance? In recent times, with the increase of "hard-to-detect attacks," measures that prioritize "preventing actual damage" are also important, such as ensuring that even if an intrusion occurs, data cannot be exfiltrated. That said, simply strengthening access authentication often takes time to close security holes. If you are only using a VPN, and cannot operate the system until the holes are patched, your work will be sacrificed. Therefore, a reliable protection mechanism is essential for core infrastructure and production equipment. In such cases, the <OWCD Solution> based on the Data Diode can be helpful. By enhancing the security effectiveness during remote maintenance, we provide ideas that can be utilized at key points in the pursuit of zero trust integrity! There are also increasing examples of integration into systems built by SIers. Please make use of it. There is an explanatory video at the related link below!

The "Predictive Monitoring Solution MTSystem," which prevents equipment and device failures by identifying unusual conditions in the plant from the beginning, is utilized as part of the "next-generation maintenance" that monitors the state. However, is it only the production equipment that is "different from usual"? In fact, there is also the possibility that the finished product may not be of good quality. Depending on the monitoring of the production process, our "MTSystem" can also be used for quality control. Since it is based on quality engineering, the Taguchi Method, it may be natural for factories that conduct QC rigorously to utilize it. However, the reality may be whether a solid continuous monitoring system is in place... Ultimately, isn't it the case that the results are based on sampling inspections conducted after production? It is expected that labor shortages will become more serious in the future. The scope that one person must manage will expand and become more complex. Even in such circumstances, why not ensure that the process of creating "products" that can be designed with market quality using the Taguchi Method is thoroughly managed with MTSystem along with product quality, so that they can be reliably released to the market? We encourage you to consider this.

Many AI products for preventing troubles have emerged. But do you really know if they are usable? SIers often don't know what to do and end up outsourcing everything to AI vendors, resulting in a lack of alignment between users and vendors, which often leads to... This is the reality. In comparison, the "MT System" can be easily started without overthinking. Unlike other AIs, this system does not require the preparation of necessary abnormal data. Let's use normal data and see how it works. The "MT System" is a product that applies the Taguchi method of quality engineering to condition monitoring. Its foundation is richer compared to others. Even with excellent AI, the reality is that determining whether something is abnormal ultimately relies on visual and auditory checks. Therefore, being able to simply notice "something is different" or "something is wrong" allows for steady progress. By tackling issues within a manageable scope, you can prevent the chaos and derailment that comes from outsourcing your own challenges to those who do not understand them. This is a system that we ourselves have extensively used. We provide support to address and resolve all technical challenges that customers may feel anxious about when they engage with it, by systematically implementing countermeasures. Please feel free to reach out to us for consultation.

Firewalls, VPNs, gateways, virus check and access authentication software—these countermeasures are actually nearly impossible to implement effectively. Maintenance is challenging, and no matter how much zero trust security is touted as foolproof, the reality is that... According to a survey, it takes an average of 349 days to realize that a ransomware attack has occurred. In fact, breaches have already taken place. Whether or not actual damage occurs depends on the intruders. As such, there is a significant gap between ideals and reality. It is too late to realize the need for protection after a breach has occurred. For core infrastructure, production equipment, IoT data collection, and system operation monitoring (SYS-LOG) checks, it is essential to ensure that something cannot enter or exit at each boundary. This is where the one-way communication restriction device "OWCD," which allows communication in only one direction while effectively blocking communication from the opposite direction, proves useful. There is a rapid increase in cases utilizing it for real-world responses to cyber terrorism and cyber attacks, as well as the pursuit of zero trust integrity! OWCD has a market share of 14%, but its sales ratio is only 1%. This is proof of its overwhelmingly low price compared to competitors! We will lend you an evaluation unit, so please confirm it for yourself. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
