Company Overview
3. Measuring and Control Engineering
"Measuring and control" is the technology that automatically controls various facilities and machinery equipment such as air conditioning and production lines in buildings and factories by measurement, monitoring, and control methods, with the aim of achieving comfort, efficiency, labor saving, and energy saving. For example, in the air conditioning measurement and control in buildings, it is positioned as a technology to "realize a comfortable environment with the minimum amount of energy", and information such as temperature, humidity, and pressure is measured and monitored, and equipment is controlled to maintain a certain environment, thereby controlling the air conditioning of the entire building to achieve comfort and energy saving. Measuring and control technology has been attracting attention as an essential technology for energy-saving in recent years, and measurement and monitoring systems using the latest IoT and AI technologies have been developed, and they have evolved such as being utilized as a core technology for "regional heating and cooling." On the other hand, "engineering" refers to the technology of optimizing equipment and machinery that tend to fall into partial optimization for overall optimization for users.
There are few companies that have both the functions of "measuring and control" and "engineering" like Nihondenki <1723>, and the technology of "measuring and control engineering" itself has become the company's strength. Therefore, it is said that the ability to control the increasingly complex and large-scale air conditioning of entire buildings while easily handling Azbil's new products that constantly improve is exceptional even among handling and sales stores. Furthermore, the company has introduced this technology of "measuring and control engineering" into the field of industrial systems. In order to automate and streamline the production equipment and production lines of factories, the technology of "measuring and control engineering" is very compatible and the company sees it as a growth area.
Furthermore, the company has introduced this technology, called "instrumentation engineering", into the field of industrial systems. The technology of "instrumentation engineering" is highly compatible with the automation and labor-saving of production equipment and production lines in factories, and the company sees it as a growth area.
