The future of business success will be built on connectivity.
Next-generation technologies, such as AI, automation and the Internet of Things (IoT), are changing the way the world lives and works, and Japanese firm Shinkawa Electric Co., Ltd. is playing an essential role in it. The sensor manufacturer works with cutting-edge businesses in a wide range of sectors, from automotive to energy, food and pharmaceuticals, helping to further the digital revolution and enjoying the biggest market share in certain fields.
Shinkawa’s developments include its infiSYS product, a vibration analysis and diagnostic system for rotating machinery. The firm is also investing in AI systems research that predicts and prevents failures through remote monitoring. Additionally, its innovative technology has produced vibration sensors that can be used in extremely low temperatures. According to President Fumito Shinkawa, this kind of pioneering work is vital for the firm’s future. “Our products are attracting interest from a wide variety of clients, including JAXA’s aerospace projects and the Shinkansen bullet train,” said Shinkawa. Decades of success have led to massive market penetration for the company in Japan, particularly in the energy sector. The firm now has even greater global ambitions. “Our company has a 90% share of the domestic market for turbine generator vibration sensors, and we also have a large share in Taiwan, China, South Korea and India. We will first focus on Asia, then turn our attention to the Middle East and the rest of the world,” said Shinkawa.
