C.A.PICARD^® Japan participated in the "Highly-functional Material Week" in December 2021. The EXPO is an exhibition embracing highly-functional materials technologies that are indispensable to various high-technology industries, e.g. advanced materials, processing technologies, production equipment and testing equipment. In addition, active negotiations took place among researchers and manufacturers of various fields such as automotive, electronics, medical und aerospace industries.

This EXPO was visited by about 40,000 people in three days. Compared with the "Highly-functional Material Week 2020" also held in Tokyo, which was influenced by Covid-19, the number of visitors recovered very well and many current and potential customers visited our booth.

This time, we presented BMD and FDS via promotional film:

• BMD (Barrel Measurement Device): the high efficiency of our BMD by providing accurate information on barrel wear and analytical reports
• FDS (Flexible Dismantling System) with PLC control to dismantle the screw elements from the shafts efficiently with full protection for the screw elements, the shafts and expecially the workers without risk of injury

We appreciated everyone for coming to our booth, for the discussions and the cooperation. We were very pleased to meet our customers and other visitors.

The next "Highly-functional Material Week" will be held in Osaka from 11 to 13 May 2022. We look forward to seeing you at our booth.
