Basic process flow of IoT
The Sales Department I and II are engaged in business related to sensors and sensor materials, while the Sales Department III is developing business providing a series of IoT services.
For example, the following services are realized for electricity, water, and gas meter reading, which previously relied on manual labor.
The Information & Electronics Division III provides highly specialized solutions that cover a wide range of activities, from supplying raw and processing materials to manufacturing products, in various fields such as renewable energy-related items, batteries, semiconductors and electronics components, and industrial materials. We make meticulous efforts to meet customer needs. Our extensive global network enables us to source optimum materials. Our services include vendor managed inventory (VMI), utilizing our strengths as a trading company.
In the field of renewable energy, which is expected to be the energy source of the future, we are focusing on the business of electric power via solar power generation and biomass power generation, in addition to materials for solar cells. Going forward, we will develop our business with fuel cells and hydrogen generation equipment in mind, with an eye toward the future hydrogen society. Furthermore, we are also focusing on lithium-ion batteries, the main power source for environmentally friendly electric automobiles, and are expanding our battery materials business.
We are also working on the IoT services business to make the tasks of “detecting how things are working” and “knowing the condition of things,” which had been dependent on manual labor, more efficient through IoT.
We will continue to strive to develop human resources with specialized knowledge and skill, as well as strengthen our global network. Our goal is to serve as a solution provider to resolve the problems faced by our customers.
It is through activities such as these that we aim to realize a harmonious coexistence with nature and to ensure a sustainable society and a bright future.
