The Okayama Technology Exhibition (OTEX) 2024 has launched its online exhibition page ahead of the real event.

Industry top share!! "Takaya, the PCB inspection equipment trusted and supported by the world."

The "electronic circuit board" is one of the important components widely used in various fields as a fundamental part for controlling electronic devices. The "board inspection equipment" developed by the industrial equipment division is an "in-circuit tester" designed to inspect whether all components function correctly and whether there are any mounting defects after various electronic components have been mounted on this "electronic circuit board" (ICT: In-Circuit Test). Among these, the "flying probe tester," which uses a needle called a "probe" that is rapidly moved by a robotic arm to directly contact the electronic components on the board for inspection, is a flagship product developed by Takaya ahead of the world. This device enables the rapid detection of various defects that occur during manufacturing. Additionally, it allows for quick adaptation to a wide range of boards through program changes. It has established an indispensable and solid position in modern manufacturing, which focuses on small-batch production of diverse products.

In the field of food and health food research and development, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: - Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. - While they are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.

Fujikohsuhou Industrial Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Tips for Setting Laser Hardening Conditions" on July 20, 2025 (Wednesday).
