Our technical capabilities

Development

Evolving into a group that can contribute to society together with our customers through system proposals.

We develop mechanical parts such as switches that make up automobiles and motorcycles, hardware design, software design, and control logic construction for control units that control power steering and various vehicle bodies, as well as smart entry and digital key systems that combine these with wireless communication technology. In recent years, we have also been developing voltage converters and on-board chargers required for hybrid and electric vehicles.
In addition, our specialized teams support development by taking on regulatory management, development infrastructure development, production technology development, and parts purchasing for development, which are essential for our product development.

In the future, mobility will shift to electrification. Accordingly, the expectations for in-vehicle electrical components to further enhance the value of mobility are rising day by day. Our company will evolve from the development of single-function control units to a group that can contribute to society together with our customers by proposing systems that connect the many sensors and actuators installed in mobility vehicles in a complex manner and increase value with the power of software. In the development of existing products, we will provide high-quality, high-performance, low-cost products, systems, and services with a customer-oriented attitude.

We will also strengthen our collaboration with overseas development bases spread around the world and work to create new value by bringing together global knowledge.

Product introduction

We provide products centered on various controllers, switches, and sensors used in car body control, which are essential for car electronics, in order to contribute to solving social issues in a mobility society by evolving in-vehicle electronic control technology.
In recent years, while automobiles have spread around the world as a convenient means of transportation, problems caused by automobiles have also become larger. For example, in emerging countries, the increase in the number of deaths due to traffic accidents and respiratory diseases caused by automobile exhaust fumes is becoming a problem. To solve these social issues, we will focus on developing products necessary for connected, autonomous driving, and electrification in order to increase our contribution to safety, security, and the environment.。

Body Control Module(BCM)

BCM is connected via communication lines to sensors and electrical units installed in various parts of the vehicle, and is a unit with the function of controlling a large number of inputs and outputs in a highly coordinated manner.
For example, it controls a wide range of functions, from functions that can be directly operated, such as keyless entry, windshield wipers, headlights, and turn signals, to functions that cannot be directly touched, such as seat belt reminders, emergency stop signals, and power functions when the engine is started.

Smart Entry System for motorcycles

This system applies the radio wave technology developed for four-wheel vehicles to two-wheel vehicles (scooters, etc.).
Carrying a portable key and operating the motorcycle's engine switch allows the engine to be started. As there is no need to insert the key, it improves convenience and helps prevent theft.
It also brings comfort, convenience and safety to people's lives in countries, particularly in Asia, where motorcycle culture is prevalent.

Power Seat Switch

Switches that automatically adjust various functions within the seat position, reclining, etc.
Lately, seats can be finely adjusted not only to move forward or backward and recline, but also to adjust the height and angle, the amount of support around the lower back, and ottomans in the passenger seat and back seat to make the user more comfortable inside the vehicle.

Seat and Steering Position Controller

This controller remembers the seat and steering wheel positions specified by the user and automatically adjusts them.
It performs controls such as automatically adjusting the seat and steering wheel positions to make it easier for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle, a nd returning the seat and steering wheel to the set positions when driving.
One of the features of our controllers is that they make little operating noise when in operation.

Seat Temperature Controller

This controller controls the heating elements and ventilation built into the seat, thereby controlling the temperature felt by the driver.
Seat temperature control has a greater physical effect than air conditioning, and contributes to creating a comfortable interior space.
Our unit integrates and controls the controllers for multiple seats, which also contributes to reducing vehicle weight.

Auto Light Unit

This unit detects when it becomes dark and automatically switches on the headlights.
It is compatible with different headlight on/off timings in different regions around the world. In addition, our proprietary technology enables lighting control that matches the characteristics of the human eye.
In terms of design, a flat shape is used, contributing to the realization of a sleek instrument panel design.

AC Inverter

Module that converts direct current (DC) from a car's battery into alternating current (AC) household power.
This allows you to use AC-powered devices in your car.
