This time, we participated in <April Dream on April 1st> and distributed a press release. It contains a little bit of our thoughts about the future we want to realize. Please take a look at the press release.

Takaya Corporation will exhibit at the "2nd [Kansai] Nepcon Japan Electronics Assembly and Development Exhibition" to be held at Intex Osaka from May 13 (Wednesday) to May 15 (Friday), 2026. This exhibition is an event where cutting-edge technologies from a wide range of electronics fields, including electronic circuits, assembly technologies, and inspection equipment, come together, showcasing numerous information and technologies that directly address challenges in development and manufacturing. At our booth, we plan to display the new standard model of the flying probe tester, APT-T400J (making its debut in Kansai), as well as the high-end model APT-2600FD. This time, we will be jointly exhibiting with the Industrial Equipment Division and the EMS Division, allowing us to directly present voices from actual sites where the equipment has been implemented and is operational. You can also consult with us on any concerns or questions you may have regarding the introduction, benefits, and other issues you may feel on a daily basis. We look forward to welcoming you to our booth.

In manufacturing and logistics, the issues of "labor reduction" and "operational efficiency" due to labor shortages are urgent challenges. While RFID is a highly effective means for promoting digital transformation in process management, traditional systems have relied on integration with control PCs and specialized software development, which has posed significant barriers to implementation. We have developed a "touch panel terminal for data collection" that simultaneously addresses these "implementation hurdles" and "on-site concerns." This terminal does not require control software and can be operated immediately by simply powering it on and setting it up. If there is an internet connection, the collected performance data can be sent directly to the cloud, enabling "anyone, easily, and accurately" to manage performance without specialized knowledge. Furthermore, by visualizing the number of readings in real-time on the touch panel, we can prevent human errors on the spot and resolve issues such as complicated data entry, manual recording, and delays in data utilization. The collected data can be immediately used to identify bottlenecks in processes and improve the accuracy of cost and production cost management, strongly supporting productivity enhancement and digital transformation on-site. With "easy installation and easy operation," test operations during implementation can also be conducted swiftly.

Thank you very much for your continued support. We would like to inform you that our company is planning to have a Golden Week holiday as per the schedule below. Consequently, we regret to inform you that we will suspend product shipments during the following period. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. ■ Shipment Suspension Period: May 2, 2026 (Saturday) – May 6, 2026 (Wednesday) Normal shipments will resume on May 7, 2026 (Thursday).

We are pleased to announce the launch of the high-output UHF band RFID reader/writer "UTRX-LUN01AS-8CH." It achieves stable reading of RF tags through the latest generation RF architecture and multiple antenna control. 1. Reading performance unaffected by surrounding environment By adopting the latest generation RF architecture, it minimizes the impact of external noise and fluctuations in antenna matching, maintaining stable reading performance that is not influenced by the surrounding environment, even in conditions where reading accuracy tends to decline. 2. Compact design The housing is designed to be thin and small, making installation easy. The optional bracket complies with VESA standards, allowing for screw mounting to devices and other installations. 3. Uniform reading distance with reception sensitivity filter The RSSI filter, which can be set according to the reception sensitivity of the RF tags, equalizes the detection distance. It suppresses biases such as excessive readings and overflow, ensuring stable operation. 4. Compatibility with a wide variety of antennas Up to 8 ports can be connected to antennas. It has obtained technical compatibility with a wide range of antennas, including Times-7, MinebeaMitsumi antennas, and FDC cable-type antennas.
