Large-scale equipment developed by Rinashimetari

Rinashimetari (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City) has developed a large-scale device that uses metal processing heat treatment technology. It can handle bars up to 70 mm in diameter, and heats and shears the metal to increase its strength. The company aims to use the equipment for processing parts for aircraft and railroads, as well as frames for small electric vehicles (EVs). The technology used in the equipment is called "RMA-CREO," which heats metal bars at high frequency, rapidly cools both ends, and then applies torsion and shearing to refine the crystal grains. The equipment will be installed by Mimatsu (Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture) at its Yosu Plant (Chikuzen Town, Fukuoka Prefecture), and Mimatsu will undertake the production.

Current Toshiba "SCiB" products

Toshiba is planning to commercialize the next generation of its proprietary SCiB lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in fiscal 2020 or later, with an energy density that is more than 50% higher than that of conventional products. The company has already developed a prototype cell at its research laboratory and will establish mass production technology. While SCiBs are strong in terms of longevity and fast charging performance, energy density, which leads to higher battery capacity, has been an issue. The company aims to expand its business by focusing on hybrid vehicles (HV), railroads and stationary applications. However, in the lithium-ion battery market as a whole, major manufacturers in Japan, China and South Korea are competing with each other. Toshiba's strategy is to target a "niche top" market by narrowing down the target market because price competition is not in Toshiba's favor.
