SEMICON Japan 2019, the largest and most influential gathering of the electronics manufacturing supply chain in Japan with nearly 55,000 attendees expected, opens tomorrow at Tokyo Big Sight to focus on growth opportunities in smart transportation and smart manufacturing and the critical importance of business continuity planning (BCP). Industry leaders and visionaries from across the electronics supply chain will gather December 11-13 at SEMICON Japan 2019 – themed Enabling a Smarter World – for insights into the latest technologies, innovations and trends in the electronics industry.
SMART Applications Zone
With their promise of greater manufacturing efficiency and social good, smart technologies are driving strong demand for semiconductors and related electronics, setting the stage for the SMART Applications Zone at SEMICON Japan 2019. The zone showcases advanced technologies and products in SMART Transportation and SMART Manufacturing while providing collaboration opportunities across the entire electronics supply chain. Key exhibitors include:
- SMART Transportation
- Toyota, DENSO, Zuken, Tier IV, Renesas Electronics, Livox Tech, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Solidray
- SMART Manufacturing
- Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Siemens, Sony Semiconductor Solutions, Chuo Denshi Kogyo (CDK) and United Semiconductor Japan (USJC)
Business Continuity Planning
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) has seen strong demand as companies in the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain work to deepen their cooperation with one another to sustain operations in the event of natural disasters and other emergencies. SEMICON Japan 2019 features an exhibition and seminar highlighting the importance of BCP to the electronics supply chain. Visitors will learn about earthquake countermeasures by stepping into the Seismic Isolation Experience Car.
Exhibitors in the BCP area include THK, DISCO, HORIBA STEC and Murata Machinery.
Representatives from Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing, THK, DISCO and Team Engineering Consulting will share lessons learned from disasters and discuss the vital importance of daily preparation.
