- FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「We have installed a demonstration plant where customers can conduct coating tests themselves, and will showcase our group's latest coating machines and coating systems for both solvent and powder coating, as well as, for powder coating, a booth with dramatically improved cleanability and a new SDGs-oriented coating system that automatically adjusts film thickness. In addition, we will introduce the “LEAPS” IoT equipment management system to demonstrate and visualize performance evaluation using energy monitoring at the center, data collected from various experimental equipment and monitoring footage. We have also begun efforts to use AI to analyze causal relationship trends in the vast amounts of data collected through the adoption of IoT.」
