This interview is a discussion presenting the points to advancing the integration of IoT technology in manufacturing sites in addition to the results and background of the implementation of IoT technology at Fukui Murata Manufacturing Co.
Technical developments in vehicle-mounted networks are proceeding at a dizzying pace, and these advancements have further accelerated now that the CASE era will soon be upon us. At Murata, we were among the first to develop products compliant with the latest vehicle-mounted network standards, and have established a product development and production system capable of supplying the required volume of electronic components with the needed characteristics at the time that they are needed.
The era of self-driving cars traveling on city streets is fast approaching. There are great expectations for the practical application of self-driving cars as solutions to many social issues, such as securing safe means of transportation, and reducing traffic congestion and accidents. However, it is not easy to replace the advanced driving skills of a human driver with those of computers and artificial intelligence.
To achieve this, it is essential to introduce cutting-edge technology.
Let’s have a look at the emerging visions for our smart cities and the required technologies which will greatly effect the future of the smart cities we will live in.
The solid-state batteries developed by Murata are a groundbreaking technology that has the potential to expand the usage applications for mobile electronic devices. We asked the Murata engineers who were involved in this development about how the development occurred, features of the developed solid-state battery, and the direction of advancements going forward.
5G: Technology
5G promises great things, but to reach its potential it also requires significant technological advancements. We look at what is possible, what is needed and how component-level innovation is crucial to commercial success.
“Smaller size and more efficient” are common objectives sought by many of our customers. When it comes to Murata’s power conversion products, our power design team have developed solutions leading to a 2x reduction in footprint and a one-third reduction in height, with significant improvement in efficiency, transient performance and EMI. Murata’s step-level increase in performance, the result of a unique two-stage architecture that uses many low voltage FETs throughout the powertrain in a complex arrangement, enables thinner and more mobile designs, with improved packing density and efficiency.
In Part 2, we talked about the difficulties in developing MLCC-specific manufacturing technology and the technology that solved our issues, as well as why Murata’s development system is so strong and continues to lead the way in miniaturizing and increasing the capacitance of MLCCs. Murata engineers also explained the prospects for further miniaturization and capacitance expansion of MLCCs.
IoT is the key to breaking free from the dependence of maintenance work on intuition and unique skills. In Part 2, we will hear in detail from Kenichi Furutani, a consultant at Japan Excel-Management Consulting (JEMCO), about the specific methods and keys to implementing IoT for maintenance work.
In Part 1, we presented the issues the manufacturing site is engaged in. In Part 2, we will present the Kanazawa Murata factory’s efforts to transition factories into smart factories using IT tools as well as our future developments.
Construction sites are areas where it would be difficult to replace people with digital entities, as much of the work is dependent on the experience and judgment of engineers and craftsmen. How should DX proceed in circumstances like this? We continue our interview with JACIC’s Takashi Ozawa from where we left off in the first part of the interview.
In part 3/3 of this series of articles, we discuss the development of the environments required for haptic sensations to be articulated precisely, hardware that allows for stimulation that can be felt by the brain, in addition to the future applications of 3DHaptics technology that are in demand by creators.
In part 2/3 of this series of articles, the developers themselves explain the chronology of the development of 3DHaptics. Through doing so, we also explore the merits of using haptics in presenting content and the principles that make realistic haptics possible.

5G: Technology
Electronics devices are likely to become more complex to satisfy consumers expectations for small or slim devices. Reliability and miniaturisation of component technology will become a necessity.
5G: Technology
Ultra-reliable, low latency communication (URLLC) is a set of features that provide low latency and ultra-high reliability for mission-critical applications such as remote surgery for healthcare, mobility vehicle-to-vehicle communication, smart grids or industrial private networks. In 3GPP release 15 5G-NR it has been specified that the target is for 1-ms delivering near perfect reliability.
5G: Technology
5G itself is likely to have a higher current drain than its predecessors but the biggest influence on battery drainage for 5G devices is likely to come from the user. The demands from the device will be increased as 5G provides more capability. Demanding features such as VoLTE, screens, cameras and increased connections will impact the lifespan of the battery.
5G: Technology
Thermal management of 5G devices and antennas is likely to become an increasingly hot topic as there is an exponential increase in heat generated in contrast to LTEs predecessors such as 4G.

5G will enable completely new functions for in-car and out-car applications, in the short-term it will revolutionise in-car infotainment and enhanced multimedia. In the near future we can expect 5G to contribute to V2X communication optimising driving experience and enabling the future of autonomous vehicles.
5G: Technology
In recent times with unscalable Wi-fi hotspots being overloaded unable to meet rapidly increasing demands for higher capacity and data speeds. The reliability and scalability of networks has become increasingly important to enterprises.
5G: Technology
Due to the ultra-high-reliability and low-latency communications (URLLC) of 5G, Mission Critical Communications (MCC) has been highlighted as a key area as part of the 3GPP Release. Delivered as part of a core network service it will allow emergency services to replace traditional radio, with more modern communications methods already available to smart phone users.
5G: Technology
5G – Massive IoT will likely account for over half of 5G cellular IoT connections. This is due to the common requirement for long battery life, deep coverage and low total cost of ownership (TCO) across larger application areas like asset management, energy & utilities and smart cities.
5G: Technology
Providing significant benefits to consumers, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) will be an extension to existing 4G network and will be amongst the first wave of the 5G services. These benefits will include significant improvement of download speeds and more cost-efficient data, up to 10 times cheaper compared to 4G. Here we explore the benefits and challenges to industry.
