Transforming the Field: Exhibiting at Embedded/Edge/IoT Development EXPO

Shinko Shoji Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the 'Embedded, Edge & IoT Development EXPO (Japan IT Week [Spring])' starting Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight.

### Eyes that Notice, Fields that Move, a Trading Company that Delivers The solutions exhibited this time are driven by a single common philosophy.

**'Eyes that Notice'** Face and behavior detection by AI cameras, image diagnosis support, visual inspection, and 720° omnidirectional monitoring. These solutions transform anomalies or changes that the human eye might miss into 'insights' through the power of technology.

**'Fields that Move'** CPU boards and dedicated SSDs for Edge AI processing, on-premise conversational AI, noise-canceling AI microphone adapters convenient for field work, CAN FD data loggers, and a new experience that reproduces pseudo-tactile sensations using ultrasound. These are foundational technologies for fields to 'move' autonomously, making judgments and taking immediate action on-site without relying on the cloud.

**'A Trading Company that Delivers'** Leveraging the partner network and technical expertise cultivated as a specialized trading company for semiconductors and electronic components, Shinko Shoji delivers cutting-edge technology to customers' sites in a 'usable form.' All exhibits embody the cycle of 'noticing field anomalies,' 'judging and acting on the spot,' and 'delivering as value.'

### Connecting Evolving Technology to the Speed Required by the Field In all industrial fields—manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and infrastructure—labor shortages are becoming more severe while operations are simultaneously becoming more sophisticated. Daily field operations now demand early detection of anomalies, rapid decision-making, and autonomous, high-speed responses more than ever.

Meanwhile, AI, edge computing, and sensing technologies have rapidly matured in recent years, entering a phase where they achieve the precision, cost, and size necessary for field implementation. The options for 'AI usable in the field' have expanded dramatically, including real-time AI inference on edge devices, generative AI utilization in on-premise environments, and middleware technology that overcomes GPU memory constraints.

By accurately capturing this wave of technological evolution and combining advanced solutions from partner companies, we will introduce a group of AI solutions at this exhibition that can respond immediately to customers' field challenges.
