Supporting cutting-edge technology in the digital network era, responding to industry-specific needs with "high quality," "short delivery times," and "low costs."

At Takaya, we are enhancing our technical staff and focusing on expanding our production lines to flexibly respond to short delivery times and small to large-scale production. We have established overseas production bases in Shanghai, China, and Chonburi, Thailand, capable of meeting the needs for both large-scale production through a consistent production line from circuit board assembly to finished products, and small-lot production of various types through a cell production system. We support our customers' global expansion with a consistent service that connects Japan, China, and Thailand, from design to finished products. ■ A consistent system through expertise in each process and its flexible combination ● A consistent development system from development by the development team to mass production design ● Procurement of materials both domestically and internationally ● Comprehensive capabilities of advanced production lines and manufacturing technologies ■ Optimal production locations (Japan, China, Thailand) ● Establishment of EMS manufacturing bases in China and Thailand ● Integrated operation of domestic and overseas bases with dedicated departments for agile responses ■ A production system that covers both small-lot production of various types and large-scale consistent production ● A consistent production line from circuit board assembly to final product inspection, alongside flexible lines that enable small-lot production of various types.

Please utilize Takaya's flying probe tester for substrate inspection in the aerospace and defense sectors.

**Benefits of Introducing Flying Probe Testers** Flexible Inspection Without Fixtures: By using a flying probe tester, inspections can be conducted immediately without the need to create fixtures. Just by creating an inspection program, it can quickly respond to design changes and differences in product specifications. Supplementing AOI, XOI, and Function Tests: High-precision electrical inspections can supplement defects that cannot be detected by AOI or function tests (such as hidden shorts or connection failures). High quality standards can be maintained even for low-volume production boards. High Reliability Quality Assurance: Measurement values and inspection dates can be saved, making it easy to manage and search as traceability documentation. Inspection data can be utilized for future maintenance and quality assurance. Improved Cost Efficiency: Reduces the design and manufacturing costs of fixtures, optimizing cost performance even for low-volume production boards. Preventing the outflow of defective products reduces costs associated with re-inspection and corrections.

Takahashi's flying probe tester solves the challenges faced by EMS companies.

**Benefits of Introducing Flying Probe Testers** Responsiveness to Specification Changes: By utilizing fixture-less testers, rapid responses to design changes are possible. This allows for a smooth progression from prototyping to mass production. High-Quality Manufacturing: By pursuing high quality from the prototyping stage, the defect rate during mass production can be reduced. The appropriateness of temperature management in solder printing and reflow processes can be verified. Cost Reduction: Reduces the costs and time associated with re-creating fixtures. By pre-checking and verifying mass production data, costs related to defects during mass production can be minimized. Mistake Prevention: Early detection of mistakes or wiring defects during the rework process when replacing components. Electrically verifies whether various profiles (temperature, electrical characteristics, etc.) in the prototyping and mass production processes conform to specifications.

TECHNO-FRONTIER 2024 6th "Connected Factory" Promotion Exhibition will be introduced through a video.

The UHF band (920MHz) is a radio wave type of RFID.

Features Compliant with international standards ISO/IEC18000-63 and GS1 EPCglobal Gen2 Type of specific low-power radio station that does not require license registration (output below 250mW) Radio output can be adjusted in 1dB increments to match the required communication range Can operate independently with the built-in antenna Up to two external antennas can also be connected Available in USB and TCP/IP connection types

It is possible to connect to an RFID reader/writer and PLC.

We have created a video explaining software development using the SDK for HF band/UHF band RFID!

1. About the SDK 00:09～ I will explain the overview of the SDK. 2. SDK Programming 01:37～ As an example, I will explain the steps to create a Windows application using TR3-SDKV2 in Microsoft Visual Studio (C#). - Creating a project - Adding a reference to TR3-SDKV2 - Adding a ResponseRFID event handler - Writing communication processing with the reader/writer 3. Sample Programs 05:03～ I will explain the sample programs included in the SDK.

Utilization of Manufacturing DX Management System/Scheduler / Reliable collection of progress and performance data / Support for data collection with RFID + edge devices

Utilizing the infrared sensor function installed in the gate antenna products, the number of people passing through the gate is automatically counted.

Data collection and accumulation from RFID devices, along with the visualization of the collected data, realized through cloud services!

Utilization Scene By simply placing a work instruction sheet with an IC tag, work performance data can be collected. Autonomous readers are installed at each process to read the IC tags. When placed, the reader sends "IN" information, and when taken, it sends "OUT" information to the cloud. The accumulated work performance data can be used for aggregation and analysis using BI tools and other methods.

We will begin offering the "RFID encoding software" for free starting April 30, 2025.

Features of RFID encoding software: - Ability to write barcode data directly to RF tags - Ability to import CSV files and write to RF tags - Ability to write keyboard input data to RF tags - Ability to add data to the written data - Ability to reference encoding history and output to CSV

We will explain the features of RFID and what can be done with RFID for customers considering its implementation.

Features of UHF Band RFID Communication Distance UHF band RFID is characterized by a very long communication distance of up to about 10 meters. This allows for the simultaneous reading of tags located at a distance, contributing to the efficiency of inventory checks and stock management. Simultaneous Reading of Multiple Tags UHF band RFID can read multiple tags simultaneously due to its ability to emit radio waves over a wide area. This feature is particularly effective in the logistics industry for managing pallets and containers, as well as in the apparel industry for inspecting large quantities of products. Tag Cost UHF band RFID tags have relatively low manufacturing costs, making large-scale implementation easier.

RFID technology enhances the value of diverse business models even further. It is active across a wide range of industrial fields, from security to factory automation and logistics.

In the RF division, our core business is RFID (radio frequency identifier), where we develop devices that read information about people and objects stored on media called RFID tags without direct contact, enabling data retrieval, registration, deletion, and updates through radio waves. With years of experience, technology, and development capabilities, we offer a diverse lineup of products tailored to various purposes and applications. Our solutions have been implemented in library lending, warehouse inventory management, and entry/exit control, making us a top manufacturer in Japan.
