3D Design
3D CAD
We do design and drafting using 3D.
Layout verification can be performed without the need to manufacture the actual product.
Layout verification can be performed without the need to manufacture the actual product.
3D Prototype
By immediately materializing the designed product using a 3D printer or optical molding, we can verify the validity of the specifications and layout in a short period of time.
Simulation Analysis
By simulating using the finite element method, various analyses can be performed on the computer before the product is manufactured.

Software Design
MBD
In order to cope with the increasing scale and complexity of in-vehicle software in recent years, we have adopted MBD (Model Base Development) to ensure high efficiency and reliability in software development.
By using UML and Matlab/Simulink, software development can be carried out in an environment that simulates the system environment without prototyping, enabling speedy and high-quality software to be released as early as possible.

Design
We use UML (Unified Modeling Language) for system design and software design.
For implementation, we use MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling and auto-code generation, enabling early simulation while building high quality software.

Testing and analysis
For the purpose of MISRA-C (software design standard) compliance, we analyze programs using QAC provided by Toyo Technica.
The completed program is subjected to unit and integration testing to confirm program operation.

Wireless Design
Electromagnetic field simulation/simulation
We use CST Studio to design antennas, investigate the causes of EMC, and conduct desk studies of countermeasures to enable more realistic and reliable wireless design.
EMC visualization system
This system can measure the magnetic field near the object to be measured and map the magnetic field (electric field) strength.
It is used to investigate the cause of EMC and to check the effect of countermeasures.

Radio wave measurement
We measure the radiation directivity of antennas and evaluate wireless communication systems to determine whether the performance satisfies the customer's requirements.
Material Analysis
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer
We have installed a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer that measures infrared spectra (IR spectra) to analyze the composition of materials.

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with EDX
We have a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with EDX, which irradiates electron beams and observes the sample surface.
Compared to optical microscopes, it has a deeper depth of focus and can measure a wider range of samples, even those with severe unevenness.
It is also equipped with EDX to perform elemental analysis of the sample surface.

Product Performance Evaluation
By evaluating the manufactured products, we confirm that there are no abnormalities in the manufacturing process.
We also conduct actual strength tests and durability tests to elucidate abnormalities that cannot be confirmed by appearance alone.

Sound Analysis
We evaluate the quietness of our products through precise sound measurement in a soundproof room.
FFT analysis of the measured sound leads to the identification of the location of abnormal noise and vibration.
