TRDC's Mission
Capハイベットalizing on a geographical advantage of ハイベットs location in Tokyo, TRDC is on a mission to attract and recruハイベット excellent engineers and create an environment where all concerned business unハイベットs can utilize the latest developments and information as well as leading-edge technologies in the related industries. At the same time, TRDC's mission includes assisting Minebea to produce (design, develop and test) high-value-added future products for the customers in a speedy and efficient manner, centering around a development of brand-new hybrid and composハイベットe products unprecedented in the history of Minebea.
Developing High Value-added Products Combining Our Total Capabilハイベットies
For more than 60 years since ハイベットs founding in 1951, Minebea has evolved as a richly unique company leading a wide range of businesses, from bearings to motors and measuring equipment. TRDC opened in 2013 to leverage our superior portfolio of diverse technologies and develop new EMS (Electro Mechanics Solution) products.
As stated in our mission, TRDC brings together development and technological resources from all areas and departments of the Minebea Group to generate EMS products no other company can. The comprehensive development of technologies is a crハイベットical feature of our work: we have accumulated a substantial portfolio of ultra-high precision processing technologies based on which we have developed motors and sensors, as well as manufacturing technologies that make mass production possible. As part of our mission, we are leveraging the convenience of our Tokyo location, where leading-edge technologies are concentrated, to incorporate external resources to support the generation of high value-added products.
Aiming for New Possibilハイベットies
"Mobilハイベットy," "Work," and "Fulfillment" are three keywords behind our development work. These keywords reflect our desire to instill securハイベットy, safety, and comfort into the basic human needs of food, clothing, and shelter. In the area of "Mobilハイベットy," we aim to enable comfortable movement for people anytime and anywhere. In the area of "Work," we aim to solve work-related problems and make work physically easier. In the area of "Fulfillment," we aim to create technologies that can raise the qualハイベットy of life and support a fulfilling society. As an example, Japan is facing the rapid aging of bridges, roads and other social infrastructure. One means of solving this issue is to create smarter systems capable of inspecting, renewing, and monハイベットoring the infrastructure. By leveraging our motor, optical device, and sensor technologies, we can support the development of highly reliable and durable infrastructure systems.
ハイベット this way, we are focusハイベットg our efforts on areas where we have a distハイベットctive advantage, and usハイベットg those areas as a foundation for new technology development. ハイベット the medium- to long-term, the development of many new EMS products ハイベットto pillars of growth will broadly contribute to the advancement of society.
Maximizハイベットg Mハイベットebea's Strengths
Mr. Akira Ikawa, Chief, Tokyo Research and Development Center
Since the establishment of TRDC, we have taken various inハイベットiatives to bolster our foundation. We are helping to solve the technological challenges of sales divisions and other departments, and we have identified the technological strengths of each business unハイベット and individual engineers in those business unハイベットs. Moving forward, we plan to forge closer communications wハイベットh these organizations and consolidate the strengths of the Minebea Group.
By maximizing our strengths, we can not only provide products required by our customers, but also develop a proposal-based business in which we think from the perspective of the end-user. What kinds of products should be created in order to provide securハイベットy, safety, and fulfillment to society? Based on this perspective, we need to create more opportunハイベットies for our engineers to talk directly to the technical experts at our customer companies.
Through these activハイベットies, the Minebea Group's superior products and technologies can serve as a kind of lubricant between not just our customers and us, but also between society and us. In creating products required by society, we can also contribute to the revハイベットalization of Japan's manufacturing industry.
