The December 23, 2024 issue of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun National Edition features a special page on Okayama Prefecture, which includes an introduction article about Takaya Corporation's RF Division.

RFID technology enhances the value of diverse business models even further. It is active across a wide range of industrial fields, from security to factory automation and logistics.

The core business of the RF Division is the development, manufacturing, and sales of products using radio frequency. Since 1996, we have developed radio wave-based store security gates, 2.45GHz RFID readers/writers, 13.56MHz RFID readers/writers, and various application system products, with Takaya products actively utilized across a wide range of industrial fields from security to factory automation and logistics. We not only offer our own planned products but also provide OEM/ODM supply, contract development, EMS services, and system solutions, contributing to the creation of added value in diverse business models.

In recent years, with the promotion of work style reform, there has been an increasing demand for improved productivity and the correction of long working hours, necessitating companies to accurately grasp the actual working hours and tasks of their employees. However, the accuracy of data collection remains unclear. Particularly in the manufacturing industry, many cases still rely on handwritten forms, leading to challenges in accurately capturing performance information due to omissions or errors in entries. Against this backdrop, our company has developed an "RFID Work Performance Collection System" that allows performance data to be transmitted simply by placing an RFID tag on an autonomous RFID reader. Since there is no need to record each start and completion of work, workers can naturally and accurately log their working hours without being consciously aware of it. This ease of collecting performance data allows for more time to be allocated to data analysis, enabling effective use of the information for reviewing personnel allocation and understanding and improving the status of each process as part of profit improvement data.

Real-time understanding of changes in project status! From now on, just placing it will complete the input of achievements.

We introduce the "RFID Utilization Process Progress and Achievement Collection System," which automatically collects achievement information simply by placing or removing various cards on terminals set up in the workspace. Cards can be stacked up to 20 and still be read, and when leaving the workspace, you only need to remove the cards. This allows for real-time monitoring of changes in process status. Additionally, the RFID reader/writer with an LCD touch panel suitable for IoT edge devices operates in standalone mode, eliminating the need for a PC installation. It uses a web server function to directly control the reader/writer from a browser. 【Features】 ■ Cards can be stacked up to 20 and still be read ■ Only need to remove the cards when leaving the workspace ■ Flexible usage - Convenient tray type or slim stand type that takes up little space - The terminal's LCD screen allows for error display and direct input of achievements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

TECHNO-FRONTIER 2024 6th "Connected Factory" Promotion Exhibition - We will introduce the exhibition through a video.

Using Takaya's cloud service, it is possible to collect work performance data and manage locations. By installing an autonomous reader on-site, it can automatically read RF tags and send the acquired data to the cloud, eliminating the need for a PC to control the reader.

An article has been published regarding the case study of the attendance management system "KING OF TIME" implemented at Nichirei Industrial Co., Ltd. ~ In the case of Nichirei Industrial ~ The workload related to attendance management has decreased. With the transition from analog tasks to automated aggregation of working hours and granting of annual leave, we can now focus on our work with peace of mind. Particularly regarding the "punching method," we utilize fingerprint and facial recognition. By using biometric authentication, impersonation is not possible, and I believe the accuracy of attendance has significantly improved. Transparency has been ensured. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges Before Implementation - Handwritten attendance sheets were used, resulting in input tasks to incorporate data into the payroll system. ■Key Points of Implementation - Systematization has reduced input tasks. Biometric authentication prevents impersonation. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, particularly at entrances facing sidewalks or roadways, there is a risk of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "sensor" + "controller" + "switching power supply (24V)" + "LED rotating light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Hotron's vehicle detection sensors allow you to search for products that meet your needs from three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." The sensors detect the passage of vehicles and notify you with a rotating light, or switch the display of parking availability. They manage vehicle presence, full parking, and exit warnings in parking lots, contributing to safe driving and smooth operational management within the parking area. They are used in various settings, from coin-operated parking to large-scale parking lots.

Due to the impact of the Middle East conflict, the supply of JIS standard rigid PVC pipes (PVC pipes) is unstable. However, domestically produced recycled PVC pipes (NON JIS), which use high-quality recycled materials, provide a "reliable choice" that ensures stable supply and reasonable pricing. This is an ideal circular material for the coming era, meeting economic, environmental, and supply stability simultaneously.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at CTC First Contact, Inc. ~In the case of CTC First Contact~ To prevent situations where one might wonder "I thought I submitted it" or "Where are the documents?", they considered systematization. They were also managing payments to business partners using Excel, but there was a challenge to reduce and improve that workload. After the introduction, the integration with the transfer search significantly reduced the workload. They were able to change the payment site, which was impossible with paper operations. [Case Overview] ■Challenges before implementation - Uncertainty about the location of application documents ■Key points of implementation - Can be operated at a low cost - Flexible customization of settings *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
