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

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.

 

Multi-Channel Gateway ECU

As connected cars become more commonplace, this unit protects cars from cyber attacks and helps distribute the communication load that is increasing with the advancement of electrification.
Drivers can now enjoy the comfort of a connected car without worrying about being exposed to the threat of cyber attacks.

 

Power Window Switch with anti-pinch function

Power Window Switch with anti-pinch function

This is a control unit with an integrated switch that automatically opens and closes the window.
To improve safety, we have added a function that automatically lowers the window when a hand or other object gets caught in the window, a first in Japan, and a function that opens the window for a certain period of time even if the car is submerged in water, a first in the world.
Although there are rare cases of tragic accidents with power windows, such as children getting their necks caught in them due to incorrect operation, our technology and products will help eliminate such accidents and contribute to making cars safer.

 

Door Control Unit

This unit controls the electrical equipment around the door.
In recent years, an increasing number of vehicles are being equipped with a large number of electrical equipment such as various actuators, sensors, and lighting. By centrally controlling these electrical equipment, it is possible to reduce the number of controllers and wire harnesses, improving the layout inside the door and ensuring expandability for future increases in functionality.

 

Power Tailgate Controller

This controller is used to electrically open and close the back doors of SUVs, minivans, etc.
Utilizing the anti-pinch technology cultivated in power windows, etc., it contributes to the realization of safe electric tailgates.
It also supports the latest functions such as the latest hands-free access function and a memory function that stops the back door at any position.

 

Rear Occupant Alert

This sensor detects rear seat occupants and prevents accidents such as children being left behind.
When the driver gets out of the vehicle, it monitors whether any passengers are left behind in the rear seats.
Currently, ultrasound is used to detect passengers, but a radar type with improved detection accuracy is also under development.

 

Non-contact Stop Lamp Switch

This switch detects when the brake pedal is pressed and transmits an On/Off signal to the brake lights.
By evolving from the conventional contact type to a non-contact type, we have achieved improved durability and reduced operating noise.

 

Alarm unit for Motorcycles

Alarm unit for Motorcycles

This unit enhances anti-theft capabilities by detecting any unintended tilt of the vehicle by the driver while the motorcycle is parked (engine off) and alerting those in the vicinity to the theft with an audible buzzer.
Particularly in Asia, motorcycles are a vital means of transportation for ordinary people, and motorcycle theft has become a social issue. This product embodies the voices of the market that want to solve this social issue.
