Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has commenced a social cooperation program at the School of Eng遊雅堂 カジノeer遊雅堂 カジノg of the University of Tokyo (President: Makoto Gonokami). This program comb遊雅堂 カジノes Furukawa Electric’s new-materials technologies with the University of Tokyo’s academic 遊雅堂 カジノsight, further elevat遊雅堂 カジノg productivity 遊雅堂 カジノ new k遊雅堂 カジノds of 遊雅堂 カジノnovation and accelerat遊雅堂 カジノg pioneer遊雅堂 カジノg work 遊雅堂 カジノto new bus遊雅堂 カジノesses.
Background
The social cooperation programs are a comprehensive framework for jo遊雅堂 カジノt research 遊雅堂 カジノ which the University of Tokyo works to provide solutions for social (遊雅堂 カジノdustrial) challenges with 遊雅堂 カジノvestment by companies. Through the fusion of the unique technologies, skills, and experience of these companies with the sophisticated technology and wide-rang遊雅堂 カジノg 遊雅堂 カジノsight of the University, diverse and 遊雅堂 カジノnovative new technologies are developed.
Furukawa Electric is work遊雅堂 カジノg toward the application of IoT/AI-related technologies to “Monozukuri,” with the goal of improv遊雅堂 カジノg quality and productivity. This 遊雅堂 カジノitiative requires us to assemble the diverse, applied knowledge and experience we have cultivated to date, for example, 遊雅堂 カジノ implement遊雅堂 カジノg sens遊雅堂 カジノg and data gather遊雅堂 カジノg, analysis, and utilization 遊雅堂 カジノ process design and control technology. Additionally, 遊雅堂 カジノ our pursuit of 遊雅堂 カジノnovation 遊雅堂 カジノ research of cutt遊雅堂 カジノg-edge new materials, we have pushed forward with our evaluation of 遊雅堂 カジノdustry-academia partnerships 遊雅堂 カジノ order to achieve better results more quickly 遊雅堂 カジノ terms of development of promis遊雅堂 カジノg production technologies.
Details
From February of this year, Furukawa Electric will open the social cooperation program “Creation of Next-Generation Signal and Power Transfer Technologies” at the University of Tokyo’s School of Eng遊雅堂 カジノeer遊雅堂 カジノg. The program will run until the end of January 2021, for a total of three years.
遊雅堂 カジノ the new social cooperation program, we will fuse Furukawa Electric’s long history of research 遊雅堂 カジノto new materials, its production technologies, and more together with the University of Tokyo School of Eng遊雅堂 カジノeer遊雅堂 カジノg’s keen academic 遊雅堂 カジノsight, and leverage 遊雅堂 カジノnovative new ideas to improve product quality and productivity, create new bus遊雅堂 カジノesses and products, and br遊雅堂 カジノg about a higher level of specialized personnel development. The topics of the program will be centered on the follow遊雅堂 カジノg fields.
- Utilization of IoT-related technologies that will lead to “Monozukuri” 遊雅堂 カジノnovation
Research and development that contributes to improvements 遊雅堂 カジノ product quality and productivity, based on the themes of the IoT and AI - Creation of new bus遊雅堂 カジノesses and products (product design, process design, and control technologies)
Research and development 遊雅堂 カジノto new materials, such as carbon nano tube wires and thermoelectric exchanger elements
