Advantage

〇 Shorten development cycle
　We are actively seeking orders for projects that are challenging and where competitiveness and innovation are important, such as the construction of smart R&D/factory-related measurement systems, system/data integrated management platforms, and equipment development (support for commercialization of research results). These projects are frequently updated with the latest technology and customer needs, and are characterized by short cycles of system improvements and enhancements. We specialize in the development, improvement, and expansion of systems in short cycles, as well as the proposal and design of systems without waste or unreasonableness, with a view to their improvement and expansion. We are particularly strong in measurement and control systems for R&D, integrated management platforms for systems and data, and prototype equipment development.

〇 Repeat rate
　The repeat rate for the past three years is 98.3 % (as of April 2020). The majority of our clients, including new clients, are repeat customers with short term cycles of a few weeks to a few months. We are often consulted on projects that are challenging and require competitiveness, innovation, and drive, and almost all of our customers prefer small-start, short-cycle development with an eye toward short-term improvement and expansion.

Benefits for repeat customers 
　✔ There is no need to explain the nature of the work or research from the beginning. 
　✔ The engineer in charge, who understands the research and the business, can quickly propose the next system or modification. 
　✔ More opportunities for after-sales follow-up and continued use of the system in its most up-to-date and optimal condition. 
　✔ With each increase in the number of repeats, shorter development cycles and lower costs can be expected.
