Thank you very much for your continued support of Takaya products. We will be upgrading the firmware version of our UHF band RFID reader/writer "UTR-SHR201." For more details, please refer to the PDF document below (related materials).

Takaya Corporation will begin offering "RFID encoding software" compatible with HF band (13.56MHz) RFID free of charge. In recent years, RFID technology has rapidly spread across various fields, including logistics management and inventory management. Many companies are considering transitioning to RFID in response to the demand for efficiency and accuracy improvements that traditional barcode systems cannot meet. However, the introduction of RFID requires specialized label printers and software, making initial costs and operational complexity barriers to adoption. To address these challenges and promote the adoption of RFID among more companies, Takaya will start offering "RFID encoding software" for free. This software allows for easy import of barcode data and CSV files, enabling intuitive operations for writing data (encoding) to RF tags. As a result, it significantly lowers the barriers to RFID adoption for companies looking to try RFID for the first time or those wanting to quickly advance their Proof of Concept (PoC). The encoding software can be downloaded from the link below. Please also refer to the separate press release.

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.

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.

On August 8th, an article about the RF Division was published in the local economy section of the Sanyo Shimbun, and we would like to share it with you. ----------- Managing Storage with IC Tags – Shelf Antenna and RW Release When files containing books or documents with IC tags, as well as transport containers holding semiconductor wafers, are placed on a shelf, the antenna automatically reads the information from the tags and sends it to devices such as computers via a wired connection through the RW. ----------- For more details, please refer to the printed page or the San Digital page. We are also continuing to recruit for free monitors.

Takaya Corporation will begin selling the UHF version of the HF shelf antenna, the "UHF Band RFID Reader/Writer & Shelf Antenna," which has a cumulative sales record of over 2,000 units. This is a specific low-power radio station type that does not require a license application (output of 250mW or less). Recently, the adoption of UHF tags, which offer cost advantages for applications with many items to manage, has been increasing, leading to a growing demand for UHF shelf antennas. By placing items with RF tags on the shelf antenna, it can be utilized for solutions such as location management, inventory tracking, and recording the history of checkouts and returns. * UHF Band RFID: Frequency 920MHz, International Standard ISO/IEC18000-63, compliant with GS1 EPCglobal GEN2. For more details, please see the press release at the link below. We will also conduct a monitor recruitment campaign (free of charge).

On April 8th, an article introducing new products from the RF Division was published in the local economy section of the Sanyo Shimbun. This is a starter kit for a "battery-less electronic paper" that allows ticket face rewriting through wireless communication using UHF band RFID. It includes electronic paper, an RFID reader/writer, and software for ticket face rewriting, making it easy to consider implementation and conduct PoC (proof of concept) without the hassle of software development. In addition to addressing the needs for digitization in various industries such as manufacturing and logistics, it can also be utilized as a one-time entry pass that is valid for a limited period. For more details, please visit the official website linked below.

The conventional shoplifting prevention system involved installing security gates (antennas) at the entrance and exit, which would alert when products with security tags were taken out without payment. This system triggers an alarm when products with dedicated security tags are taken out of the radio wave area surrounded by the antennas, and the alarm automatically stops when the products are returned to the radio wave area. It is a system that can meet a wide range of needs, such as having multiple entrances and exits, wanting to place products near the entrance, or wanting to secure only specific areas. Additionally, this system uses products designed and manufactured in Japan and has been tested for safety by specialized radio wave inspection organizations.
