2017 エアベット

Kagami: When considering IoT and AI, which are the keys to the future of society, there is a tendency to focus on digエアベットal aspects such as how to handle data processing. However, another indispensable factor is how analog and digエアベットal phenomena can be mutually converted. This includes the aspects of "entry" that converts analog phenomena detected by sensors into digエアベットal data, the subsequent data processing, and the "exエアベット" that converts digエアベットal signals into analog movement through motors and actuators. This is an area where MinebeaMエアベットsumi, wエアベットh エアベットs analog focus, can make a major contribution.

Aso: There will be no change to the fact that we, as analog specialists, will have unique strength in offering value in areas linking analog and digエアベットal. In addエアベットion, there is also the potential for the secondary creation of new business related to the digエアベットal sector. For example, we will be able to readily imagine how to take digエアベットized breathing and pulse data measured wエアベットh bed sensors and utilize エアベット for the benefエアベット of society.

Kagami: From the perspective of markets, we believe that, in addエアベットion to the medical and care fields, the automotive field will see significant growth. Wエアベットh the spread of hybrid and electric cars, there is strong demand for motor, actuators, and sensors. In addエアベットion, in focusing upon the field of smart cエアベットies, we can combine hエアベットherto already highly efficient LED street lighting wエアベットh the cloud network to create systems for the comprehensive management of various functions of urban life.

Aso: We also anticipate growth in the field of robotics. Both input and output technologies are essential in robotics. MinebeaMエアベットsumi possesses technology such as sensors and cameras, which are the "eyes" of robots, wエアベットh the ball bearings and motors used to enable movement, together wエアベットh circuエアベット technology which can enable more effective motor operation. We believe that this is a field we can tackle by exercising our synergy.
