For example, they can provide support on the following topics: - Personal job hunting experience stories from senior employees - The appeal of working in Okayama Prefecture (IJU turn) - Consultations about the companies and industries where senior employees work (job satisfaction, information about the company, etc.) - Other job hunting-related matters ----------------- For more details, please visit the related link to the "Kira☆Oka - Sparkling Okayama Company Information at a Glance" website.

Takaya Corporation will begin selling the UHF band stationary 8-channel reader/writer "UTR-SUN02-8CH." It can connect up to 8 external antennas. By controlling multiple antennas, it achieves stable reading of RF tags. In industries such as manufacturing, retail, logistics, and healthcare, the need for operational efficiency using RFID is increasing due to work style reforms and labor shortages. Particularly in labor- and time-intensive tasks like inventory management and inspection, RFID enables bulk reading and verification of product information, thereby improving operational efficiency. However, achieving this requires stable reading of RF tags affixed to products, packaging boxes, and reusable materials. In response to this need, Takaya has developed the "UTR-SUN02-8CH," which can be applied to gate-type and tunnel-type operations that demand high reading accuracy through the control of multiple antennas. For more detailed information, please refer to the product page and catalog below.

The digital signage advertisement for the job support site "Start!" for high school students is now displayed in the south underground passage of Okayama Station. Information about Takaya Corporation will also be shown, so please take a look when you visit Okayama Station or Aeon Mall Okayama.

Takaya Corporation (Headquarters: Ihara Town, Okayama Prefecture; President: Ryuji Okamoto) has received the 20th "JPCA Award" (hereinafter referred to as "the Award") for its "Hybrid Inspection System Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testing." The awarded "Hybrid Inspection System Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testing" integrates the flying probe tester with JTAG boundary scan testing, allowing for the mutual complementarity of each inspection method. This maximizes the test coverage of high-density mounted circuit boards and enables more accurate fault diagnosis, introducing a new system. A panel introducing the Award will be displayed at the "JPCA Show 2024 (Total Solutions for Electronic Devices Exhibition 2024)" held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 12 (Wednesday) to June 14 (Friday). Our company will also have an exhibition booth at the event, showcasing a real flying probe tester. We invite you to come and see it.

We have opened the official Instagram account of Takaya Corporation. From now on, we will share information about internships, company briefings, our regular activities, and the atmosphere within the company through this account! We appreciate your "follow," "likes," and comments.

The 38th Electronics Packaging Conference was held from March 13 (Wednesday) to 15 (Friday), 2024, at the Noda Campus of Tokyo University of Science. At this conference, Mr. Yanagida, the Technical Department Manager of Takaya Corporation's Industrial Equipment Division, gave a presentation on "The Latest Trends in Hybrid Testing Systems Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testers." The presentation materials from that event have been made available, so please take a look at the related catalog page below. -------- Content -------- To ensure reliable assembly guarantees for printed circuit boards, electrical testing is essential. However, a single testing method alone cannot achieve sufficient test coverage. To address this issue, we introduce a hybrid testing system that integrates flying probe testers and JTAG boundary scan testing. By complementing each testing method, we can maximize the test coverage for high-density printed circuit boards, enabling more accurate fault diagnosis.

The job support site for high school students, "Start!Web," has published interview articles featuring employees from Takaya Corporation and Estakaya Electronic Industry Co., Ltd. in Okayama. -----What is the job support site "Start!Web" for high school students?----- The job support website "Start!Web" for high school students introduces attractive local companies based in Okayama. What kind of work does the company do? How do the employees work? By getting to know the company, why not create your own "image of working"? A wonderful encounter that will shape your future begins here!

Takaya Corporation will begin selling the cloud service "RFID Work Performance Collection System." This service enables data collection and accumulation from RFID readers, as well as the visualization of the collected data through the cloud. In recent years, with the promotion of work style reforms, there has been an increasing demand for improved productivity and correction of long working hours. Companies need to accurately grasp the actual working hours and content of their employees, but the accuracy of data collection remains unclear. This is particularly challenging in the manufacturing industry, where handwritten forms are often used, leading to issues such as omissions and errors that make it difficult to obtain accurate performance information. In response to this situation, our company has developed the "RFID Work Performance Collection System," which allows performance data to be transmitted simply by placing an RFID tag on an autonomous RFID reader. Since there is no need to record data each time work begins or is completed, workers can naturally and accurately record their working hours without being conscious of it. The ease of collecting performance data allows for more time to be dedicated to data analysis, enabling effective use of this information for reviewing personnel allocation and understanding and improving the status of each process as part of profit improvement efforts.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. We are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at the "Total Solution Exhibition for Electronic Devices 2024 / JISSO PROTEC 2024," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 12 to June 14, 2024. We will showcase our in-circuit tester (ICT) "APT-1600FD-A," which enables simultaneous contact testing on both the top and bottom surfaces of printed circuit boards using a maximum of six probes in combination with the simultaneous use of upper and lower flying probes. On the day of the event, we will conduct a demonstration of continuous automatic testing in conjunction with front and rear devices (loader/unloader). Our booth at Takaya Corporation will be located at East Hall 4, 4C-38. This exhibition requires "WEB registration." Please register online in advance. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

The "Work-Life Balance Experience in Child-Rearing and Employment @ Internship" is a project in Okayama Prefecture aimed at supporting young people in building their life designs by providing opportunities for students to interact with companies and employees that promote the balance of child-rearing and work, such as those designated as "Okayama Child-Rearing Support Declaration Companies," through internships and similar venues. This initiative also aims to strengthen measures against declining birth rates. Takaya Corporation supports the balance of work and child-rearing, as well as the acquisition of parental leave! Currently, the parental leave acquisition and return rates for both men and women are 100%. In addition to parental leave, there are systems such as short-time work for child-rearing and "child nursing leave" that can be taken when a child suddenly falls ill, as well as special paid leave for "wife's childbirth leave." There are also family allowances for childbirth and child-rearing, as well as childbirth celebration bonuses, and we are committed to supporting our employees in balancing work and child-rearing. Please see the link below for more information.
