We have published the real-time control performance of the Ricoh PFU Computing Co., Ltd. embedded computer 'AR2100-120R'.

The definitive version of PC-based hard real-time control, "INtime."

INtime is an event-driven real-time operating system that operates in parallel on the same PC as Windows. It transforms a PC into a control controller for industrial systems, integrating the traditional "PLC + data processing PC + external I/O" into a single unit. ■ It enables high-performance real-time systems on a single industrial PC. ■ It operates on PCs for both commercial and industrial applications. ■ INtime handles control and external I/O, while Windows is responsible for information processing such as HMI, databases, and AI. This division of roles allows for the integration of 'IT and OT' within the same enclosure. ■ Applications running on INtime are developed using Visual Studio, allowing for C/C++ implementation and debugging with the same feel as Windows applications. ■ PLC ladder language and Python can be utilized (optional). ■ Major industrial external I/O interfaces are available, including PCI/PCIe, serial, LAN, and fieldbus (CC-LINK, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, MECHATOROLINK), among others. ■ Comprehensive technical support is provided. Dedicated staff will assist with handling and inquiries related to the product.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

This is Daidore Co., Ltd. We have launched a "contract manufacturing and custom prototyping service" using the latest metal 3D printers. As our first sample, we created a company nameplate for our mascot "D-Dora-kun." By intentionally not machining it and utilizing the layering marks (beads) as a design element, we express the solid feel and three-dimensionality unique to solid wood. ■ Our Strengths - Custom orders without molds: Quick response to prototypes and restoration of discontinued parts using only data. - Large-scale manufacturing and build-up technology: Capable of producing up to 2000×1000×1000mm and performing build-up repair processing on existing parts. - Expertise in materials: Leveraging our know-how in manufacturing drainage fixtures, we propose various high-corrosion-resistant alloys such as SUS316L. ■ Equipment Specifications (MELTIO Robot Cell) - Method: Wire laser DED method - Compatible materials: Stainless alloys, mild steel, titanium, nickel, copper alloys, etc. If you want to "reduce mold investment" or "create parts with special shapes," please feel free to consult our Development Promotion Department!

The comprehensive production management system "TED Ver.3.0," developed and sold by Profect Co., Ltd., has received the "Excellence Award" in the Software category at the "38th Small and Medium Enterprises Excellent New Technology and New Product Award," co-sponsored by the Resona Foundation for Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion and Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (announced in the April 15, 2026 edition of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun). This award is a prestigious recognition that honors outstanding new technologies and products, supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Small and Medium Enterprise Agency and the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation. ■ Message from President Shiro Abe This system was developed with the participation of eight small manufacturing companies from across the country as "stakeholders," and it was created by thoroughly examining whether it can truly be used on-site and whether it can lead to profits, rather than being just theoretical. We believe that in DX (digital transformation), what is important is "who to work with." Moving forward, we will continue to enhance our functions and support for implementation, and we will strive to create new value together with everyone under the banner of "restoring manufacturing."
