Currently, the process of "fermentation" is gaining renewed attention worldwide. Fermentation is no longer limited to the production of food and beverages; its potential now extends to diverse fields such as health, the environment, and even the development of new materials.

Fujiwara Techno Art has cultivated advanced expertise in raw material processing and solid-state fermentation (the technology for producing koji) over many years as an equipment and plant manufacturer in Japan's traditional fermentation and brewing industries.

Leveraging this expertise, we are engaged in food tech initiatives aimed at adding high value to various resources, including food by-products and unused materials.

Additionally, we have established a comprehensive business framework, the "Microorganism Industry Platform," which supports the entire process—from exploring functional components and conducting solid-state fermentation tests to optimizing cultivation conditions, scaling up production, building plants and factories, and commercializing products.

We will showcase examples of upcycling unused resources into functional materials and discuss the potential of new industries driven by microbial technologies.

We will convey to you through our achievements how Nara Machinery's crushing・drying technology can contribute to a recycling society.

Automation, hygiene and flexibility are the main drivers for food and additive manufacturers to modernize their existing production systems and build new ones, locally or in emerging markets. SoliValve® technology has become critical for large international food companies expanding globally, as well as for local companies looking to strengthen their competitive edge. In this presentation, we'll show how this innovative system addresses industry challenges, such as containment, reduction of cross contamination, accuracies when dosing, etc.

"Loading, unloading, and unpacking" - these are simple yet physically demanding tasks. With severe labor shortages and high risks of workplace accidents, concerns in the factories are never ending. While the introduction of palletizers, depalletizers, and automatic unpacking machines can be effective solutions, do you find yourself thinking, "That's way too expensive!" or " It will never fit!"? In this seminar, we will introduce compact and cost-effective cutting-edge technologies that will overturn the conventional image of "expensive, large, and complicated" automation equipment.

　Automation in the food industry is one of Japan’s greatest challenges as factory innovation continues to advance. While Japanese industrial products have been globally standardized and mass-produced, many aspects of craftmanship still remain.
　Even standardized food items can vary subtly in size and shape, with factors such as time of day or seasonal changes creating additional challenges, making automation in the food industry particularly difficult. Additionally, as food products diversify, the need for greater versatility to handle a wide range of items has become crucial.
　This seminar will explore how FingerVision’s cutting-edge tactile vision technology turns ultimate versatility into a reality.

[QA＆QC Must-See] Heat-Seal Defect Solutions
Are you facing challenges with packaging seal defects? In the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, heat seal quality is crucial for product safety and reliability. While many facilities still rely on manual visual inspections and destructive testing, no definitive method has been established for seal defect detection.
This seminar introduces Yamaha's state-of-the-art ultrasonic heat seal inspection technology. Our air-coupled ultrasonic technology enables non-destructive inspection, allowing for real-time, 100% seal quality verification without stopping production lines. We'll present practical applications and actual measurement data from real samples.
Key benefits to be demonstrated through video presentations:

Prevention of quality issues and brand damage risks
Cost reduction and labor shortage solution through automation
Complete traceability via image data storage

Essential for manufacturing managers, quality control personnel, and equipment procurement staff, this seminar will revolutionize your approach to quality assurance.

Are you still storing paper-based ledgers and traceability records that weigh down your food manufacturing operations? In this seminar, we’ll show you how to streamline processes by switching to digital ledger sheets and how to leverage trace data for business strategies—under the theme of “the new era of traceability that connects the shop floor and management,” made possible by “Tsukurude,” a cloud service specialized for the food manufacturing industry.
By digitizing paper forms on site through simple operations, Tsukurude centralizes daily production reports and inventory control. Its real-time information sharing feature lets you prepare audit documents in just minutes. This seminar is packed with practical insights on reducing paper use, improving operational efficiency, and resolving common management issues. Don’t miss this chance to embrace digital transformation (DX) and elevate traceability on your shop floor!

In food production facilities, negative pressure environments can cause problems such as insect and dust influx, condensation and mould formation. To solve these problems, it is important to introduce appropriately dehumidified outside air into the room to control positive pressure, but this tends to be costly. To solve this problem, Sanken Setsubi Kogyo proposes the ECOSALA, which was developed in-house. ECOSALA is an energy and cost saving dehumidifying air supply unit that performs pre-cooling and reheating with zero energy consumption. In addition to reducing the energy required for cooling and dehumidification, it does not require a heat source for reheating (hot water, electric heaters, etc.), making the indoor environment comfortable with dry air while realising energy savings. We will introduce ECOSALA, including a case study of a food factory that reduced primary energy consumption by 78%.

Did you know that when refrigerant leaks progress in a refrigeration system, power consumption can increase by as much as 80%?
Since most refrigerant leaks develop slowly, by the time a temperature alarm sounds, a significant amount of refrigerant has already leaked, and the increased load leads to higher electricity costs.
In this seminar, we will share strategies for reducing electricity costs for refrigeration equipment. 

We cover food safety themes such as laws, standards, approval guidelines, compressed air safety, and management based on HACCP. We will give examples of some issues and their solutions.
Worker safety is also an important theme to protect the lives and health of workers.
Furthermore, we offer solutions to problems such as the environmentally resistant HF series that ensures food safety, and products that can directly adsorb and transport various workpiece shapes that can be difficult to handle.

This presentation will highlight TLV's innovative solutions, including award-winning products.

The SteamAqua® Steam-Fired Instantaneous Water Heater, winner of the 22nd Nissyoku Excellent Food Machinery/Material Award, comes in wall-mounted and floor-standing types.
It offers a wide range of specifications, complies with the Water Supply Act (Japan), and ensures a safe, space-saving hot water supply.

The HeatSaver® condensate and flash steam recovery unit, recipient of the 2024 Energy Conservation Grand Prize (SME Commissioner's Award), recovers heat from both condensate and flash steam. 
This reduces energy loss, eliminates visible steam, and supports environmental improvement.

Real-world case studies will be shared, making this session ideal for those seeking energy-saving and environmentally friendly solutions.
