    Ushio Lighting's stereoscopic view with VR

    The development of virtual space (VR) technology for business-to-business (B-to-B) is active. USHIO LIGHTING (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has developed the world's first system that allows two people to experience stereoscopic vision through VR at the same time. Two major printing companies have released VR systems that are linked to CAD data of houses and condominiums. With the newly developed system, a special program generates a total of four types of images necessary for VR stereoscopic viewing for two people according to the location information grasped by the sensor, and when projected on the wall, floor, or side using three 240 Hz projectors, highly immersive images can be experienced simultaneously from two directions.

      Fuji Xerox Expands Maintenance and Inspection Operations with Smart Glasses

      Fuji Xerox is expanding its maintenance and inspection operations for multifunction devices using smart glasses to wide format multifunction devices that print drawings and other documents. In April, Fuji Xerox started using smartglasses for commercial printing machines, with customer engineers (CEs) engaged in maintenance and inspection operations wearing the glasses. In the maintenance and inspection work that began in April in Japan, the company has been using the "Infomesh Visual Navigator," a remote work support solution using smart glasses from NTT Data Newson (Minato-ku, Tokyo). (Minato-ku, Tokyo), a remote work support solution using smart glasses. A total of 100 units of smart glasses have been installed. Therefore, accurate and prompt maintenance and inspection work is indispensable. The use of smart glasses has reduced the maintenance time by about 30% for long hours of work exceeding two hours.

        A soft propeller developed based on dragonfly wings (right) and a propeller for ordinary drones.

        Chiba University is embarking on the development of a next-generation drone (flying robot) modeled on living organisms. It will be modeled after birds and insects, and will fly in response to the changing natural environment. He envisions a soft structure like the wings and body of an organism. They are researching what kind of materials to use and how to process them. In addition to sensing technologies such as force and vision sensors, they are also researching technologies for computer processing of various data in real time and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to make the drone intelligent. We will involve students in joint research projects with companies and other organizations to develop human resources who can not only conduct research but also be immediately effective in the field. He said, "We need to create win-win relationships (with our partners) so that we can move on. Everything is a result," he said.

          Towa Electric Industry's 6-kilowatt charger for electric vehicles

          Towa Electric Industry (Kita Ward, Okayama City), in cooperation with Wako Denken (Yao City, Osaka Prefecture), has commercialized a low-cost 6-kilowatt battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs). The total price (excluding consumption tax) is about 200,000 yen if installation work is also undertaken, which is about half the cost of installing a standard 6-kilowatt charger. The battery can be recharged in 12.5 hours with Nissan's LEAF e+ EV, halving the recharging time compared to a 3-kilowatt charger. Towa Electric Industry is engaged in the maintenance of power generation facilities, telecommunications work, and electrical work for stores in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. "In April 2018, the company launched its first product, a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system for large facilities such as factories, with the aim of expanding its peripheral businesses related to electricity.

            CNC Turning Center Installed by Tobata Ironworks

            Tobata Ironworks (Kokura Minami-ku, Kitakyushu City) has introduced a large computer numerical control (CNC) turning center with a table diameter of 4,000 mm. The company had been using separate machines for turning and drilling, but as the workpieces have become larger and the time required for moving and processing them has increased, the company has decided to use a single machine to improve efficiency. Recently, the company has also been focusing on machining, and President Yasuda said, "There are few casting manufacturers that have such large machining equipment. We expect to differentiate ourselves from the competition and increase added value by reducing man-hours. A turning center is a numerically controlled (NC) machine tool that is a combination of a lathe. A turning center is a numerically controlled (NC) machine tool that is a combination of a lathe.
