I gave a presentation on "Factory Guardian" at the Advantech IoT Solutions Conference!

Introducing the conference on IoT solutions that can be utilized in manufacturing sites, bringing transformation to a century-old established factory!

On July 5th (Thursday) and July 12th (Thursday), 2018, the "IoT Solution Conference" was held in Osaka and Tokyo, where our company presented on the IoT package "Factory Guardian." As a manufacturer of automotive screws and bolts, we introduced actual cases where we created IoT solutions to address challenges faced in the manufacturing industry. 　　　◇◆◇◆Advantech IoT Solution Conference◇◆◇◆◇ 　　　　A conference on IoT solutions that can be utilized in manufacturing sites, provided by Advantech, a leading company in industrial PCs, and Japan Rad, which combines hardware and software. 　　　　Date: July 5th 　　　　　Venue: Osaka (Express Coco 200) 　　　Presentation Topic: What does the introduction of IoT mean for a century-old factory? 　　　　Date: July 12th 　　　　　Venue: Tokyo (Kyodo News Building, 5th Floor) 　　　Presentation Topic: What does the introduction of IoT mean for a century-old factory? 　　◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

• Construction and process management software

IoT specialized for factories! A robust system upgraded around industrial PCs and more.

Factories have various environments such as oil smoke and vibrations. In IoT for manufacturing, performance that can continue to operate robustly even in such environments is required. The PCs used in "Factory Guardian" are manufactured by Advantech Co., Ltd., which has a proven track record as industrial PCs. Other network devices and sensors are designed and packaged with the premise of being used in factories. For manufacturing factories, we propose an IoT package from Yamashina. To address such questions and challenges... ● In environments with vibrations and oil smoke, electronic devices are likely to fail quickly. ● We want to use reliable equipment even in small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. All of the above challenges are resolved by Yamashina's "Factory Guardian." *For more details, please refer to the PDF or contact us.

• Other Software

Would you like to see the hard-to-imagine IoT in action at an actual usage site (a screw factory)?

The IoT package system "Factory Guardian" is an IoT system developed based on a model of a screw manufacturing factory and is sold by Yamashina. In response to customer concerns such as, "Even if we talk about IoT in factories, there are no actual products, and it's hard to understand," Yamashina is holding tours of the IoT system "Factory Guardian," which is operational in its own factory. We believe that the methods for acquiring information from actual devices, wiring, communication, PC systems, and how to display data obtained from information will serve as a reference for the introduction of IoT in manufacturing factories. To solve such challenges… ● We are considering the introduction of an IoT system in our factory but want to see something that is actually operational. ● We want to hear firsthand accounts of the challenges before implementation and the benefits after implementation. Please feel free to consider visiting our IoT system. *For details, please refer to the PDF or contact us. *We may decline visits from individuals in the screw industry for the "Factory Guardian" tour.

• Construction and process management software

It's easy to implement because it's a package! No know-how or skills are required! The IoT transformation of factories can be realized immediately.

The IoT package system "Factory Guardian" is developed based on models of manufacturing factories and is already an operational IoT system. Based on this track record, we offer a complete package that includes sensors, communication systems, cloud services, and PC software. We address the challenges of IoT implementation, such as the time and effort required to consider the appropriate parts and communication for the factory and to negotiate with each of these vendors. Additionally, there is no need for personnel who are well-versed in these areas. Are you facing any of these issues? - You don't have the time or capacity to consider the system from sensors to communication and monitoring... - There are no specialized personnel responsible for IoT... - You can't envision whether it can be used in your own factory... - You are interested in IoT but don't know how to approach it... - You want to improve quality and productivity by implementing IoT, but you don't have the personnel to handle it... ↓ ↓ ↓ "Factory Guardian" by Yamashina solves all of the above! *For more details, please refer to the PDF or contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the "62nd JAPAN DIY HOMECENTER SHOW 2026." This year, the largest exhibition in the industry will be held with the theme "Let's Go to the DIY Festival in Summer!" Please be sure to visit our booth (No. M31). ■ Introduction of Exhibited Product: Insulation Material "SS Premier" We are introducing "SS Premier" with the concept of moving away from the existing 20mm thick insulation materials. [The secret of 5mm. Maintaining performance while being overwhelmingly thin, light, and easy to install.] - Achieves insulation performance equivalent to RW50mm with a thickness of just 5mm, making it possible to install in limited spaces. - As a sheet material, it can accommodate both round and square ducts. - Lightweight and flexible, making transportation and handling easy, reducing the burden on the job site. Compared to conventional products, it offers advantages in installation space, transportability, and retail display. It has numerous implementation records across the country, including government projects such as the Shibuya Ward Office reconstruction project, as well as universities, hospitals, and large-scale new construction projects. At the venue, you can take a look at actual product samples. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit at booth No. M31.

Kou Alpha X Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "Automatic Identification Comprehensive Exhibition" held at Tokyo Big Sight. At our booth, we will showcase a wide range of products, including metal-compatible RFID tags (PMT series), "keychain-type tags," and "rugged, environment-resistant tube tags." We look forward to your visit.

North Engineering, the Taiwanese agent of Tokkyo Kiki Co., Ltd., will exhibit at the international exhibition "SEMICON TAIWAN 2026" held in Taiwan. At "SEMICON Taiwan," we will showcase products for micro-vibration and magnetic field countermeasures for semiconductor manufacturing plants, as well as seismic isolation devices for transformers and vibration-damping devices for air conditioning outdoor units as earthquake countermeasures. Event Dates: September 2 (Wednesday) - September 4 (Friday), 2026 Venue: Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX Hall 1 & 2, Taipei City, Taiwan) Booth Number: K2568 (TaiNEX 1, 1st Floor)

"I don't have anyone in the company to ask if this is the right way to segment." "I can't decide whether it's okay to delete the scenarios set up by my predecessor." I often hear such voices from those in charge of operating MA tools. In this seminar, Shannon, as an MA vendor, will publicly share how they operate MA within their own marketing department, using the actual management screen. Please note that this seminar will not be recorded or archived. It will be presented only to the 15 companies that attend in person. [Screens to be viewed on the day] (tentative) 1: Conditions for segmentation 2: Flow and branches of scenarios 3: Discarded settings [Recommended for those who] - Are almost solely responsible for operating MA tools - Have not been able to make changes to the settings inherited from their predecessor - Feel that they are not using MA as they had originally intended - Want to know how other companies are actually operating at the screen level - Are considering reviewing their current MA tools

Our manufacturer, Shirok, will be exhibiting at the High-Performance Materials Week Tokyo Exhibition held at Makuhari Messe, with participation from Kō Alpha X Co., Ltd. We plan to showcase various silicone products, including silicone prepolymers, at our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
