Bringing Aratas Technologies to Growth Markets
As society undergoes major changes, such as decarbonization, the electrification of mobility, advances in AI and high-speed communications, and demographic shifts, what our customers want to achieve and the technologies they require also continue to evolve.
Aratas is responding to changes in society and industry by focusing on four markets where further growth is expected.
- ENERGY MANAGEMENT
- Supporting Sustainable Energy
- MOBILITY
- Supporting the Evolution of Next-Generation Mobility
- DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
- Supporting Society’s Digital Infrastructure
- SMART AUTOMATION
- Supporting Workplaces as Automation Advances
Technologies and Solutions Supporting Growth Markets
In our vision of society in 2030, new energy sources with low environmental impact will be introduced, and all products and infrastructure will be DC.
The increasing speed and capacity of telecommunications and the IoT in society and the home will keep all products connected and operating stably, resulting in ever more convenient and comfortable lifestyles. Furthermore, it is now commonplace that all such products are environmentally friendly.
To help realize this society, Aratas will create devices that support the spread of new energy and high-speed communications.
- Climate change (global warming)
- Achieving carbon neutrality and contributing to the spread of new energies*1
Contributing to reliable DC interruption and low power consumption to ensure the safety of new energy infrastructure and products.
*1 New energy: Renewable energy and innovative energy such as hydrogen and fuel cells
- Aging society and widening economic disparity among individuals
- Realization of a digital society and contributing to the spread of high-speed communications
It overcomes the restrictions and challenges of equipment created by the evolution of semiconductors, and contributes to the reliability of high-frequency switching and digitization of sensory information.
We will solve these problems with solutions in these two areas where further growth opportunities are expected, with solutions centered on devices and modules.
- DC Equipment
- One of the measures to combat climate change is to reduce CO2 emissions.
The shift from engine to electric drive is progressing, requiring higher performance DC (direct current) products*2.
Electric products using batteries and motors are expected to replace conventional engine-driven products in the future.
For sustainable energy utilization, the flow of power generation, storage, and usage will become the mainstream, and the importance of short-circuit prevention and electric shock prevention will increase.
Aratas will contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality by developing a broad lineup of high-capacity products and providing technologies that safely interrupt current with minimal heat generation.
*2 DC products: Products that run on direct current
- High-frequency equipment
- To solve the labor shortage caused by the declining birthrate and aging population, the spread of high-speed communications such as 5G/6G is accelerating, and semiconductors are becoming faster and larger in capacity.
Aratas will contribute to the evolution of high-speed communications together with our customers by making prompt proposals, making full use of our core fine mechanical technology.
