We will be exhibiting at the Thermal Tech 2026 event held on April 24, 2026.

It is a heat-resistant laminated board that is laminated and integrated without adhesive using polyimide film.

Kawamura Industries' "Polyimide Laminate (PI-Plate)" is a laminate made by laminating and thermally bonding polyimide film that has been activated on its surface through plasma treatment. 【Features of Kawamura Industries' "Polyimide Laminate"】 　■ Excellent heat resistance due to being adhesive-free 　→ Continuous: 200°C / Short-term: 400°C 　■ Exhibits excellent mechanical properties derived from polyimide film 　■ Laminate can be produced in sizes up to 480mm × 1,100mm 　■ Maximum thickness of 10mm (proven) 　※ Please feel free to consult us regarding thicknesses over 10mm. ※ For examples of properties, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"5% weight reduction temperature is 534℃!" This is an adhesive-free stainless steel/polyimide substrate suitable for high-temperature planar heating heater applications.

Kawamura Industries provides stainless steel/polyimide materials by leveraging the know-how of polyimide coating technology developed over many years on stainless steel foil. **Features of Kawamura Industries' 'SUS/Polyimide Material'** - Excellent heat resistance due to being adhesive-free → 5% weight loss temperature (534°C) - High adhesion strength achieved through unique polyimide technology → Stainless steel/polyimide adhesion strength (2.4 kN/m) - Wide range of thickness options → Stainless steel thickness (15, 18, 20, 30, 50 μm) → Polyimide thickness (selectable between 5-25 μm) *For examples of properties, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The "vacuum hot press," which can also perform surface treatment in the previous process, and the "coating" technology for metal foils are suitable for the processing of electronic materials such as substrates for 5G and base materials for planar heating elements!

Kawamura Industries develops and manufactures materials for electronic applications and provides associated processing technologies. We will introduce technologies that have been adopted for substrates for 5G and materials for planar heating elements. 【Our Technology: Electronic Materials - Strengths of Vacuum Hot Press Coating Technology】 ■ Vacuum Hot Press In prototype and mass production using vacuum hot pressing, we can press without adhesives, allowing us to better utilize the inherent properties of the materials. (Note: We can also accommodate laminated products with adhesives.) - We have a large number of pressing machines, capable of handling various sizes and temperatures. - There are pressing machines installed in a cleanroom environment. ■ Resin Coating on Metal Foil Although we operate in a contract processing format, we can combine "metal foil + high-temperature treatment." - Our coating drying oven can handle temperatures up to 260°C, allowing for the drying of high-boiling point solvents. - We can also accommodate polyimide coating with a high-temperature curing oven that can handle up to 400°C. Including material procurement, we provide consistent support from small lots and prototypes to mass production, so please feel free to contact us. * We are currently publishing an introduction document summarizing what Kawamura Industries can do!

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI

This time, I would like to talk a little about current measurement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors (including power devices and power modules).

From measurement instruments to point cloud processing and analysis software, the latest solutions come together! We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement instruments and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will announce surprise new products!

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
