A pioneer of visual inspection
systems for half a century, Daiichi
Jitsugyo Viswill has embraced digitalization and collaboration with
global partners as it looks to develop cutting-edge technologies atthe vanguard of its industry.
This innovative Japanese enterprise developed the world’s firsttablet visual inspection system in
the 1980s and has consistently
led the market ever since – with its
unique solutions defined by reliability, repeatability, precision, capacity,and the speed of inspections its
devices can handle. Daiichi Jitsugyo Viswill’s high-quality systems
are tried and trusted by clients inindustries such as pharmaceuticals,electronics and automotive.
“There are three key technologies
that define the quality of our prod-Tablet Inspection

ucts,” says president and CEO, Shogo
Kakiuchi. “First, there is the precise
handling and orientation of items
as they pass through our inspection
system. Second, we place a strongemphasis on our lighting and camera
system. Lastly, our processing system, which identifies items based onimages captured with optimal lighting, is the third critical component.”
Having started out as a comprehensive manufacturer, the company
built up years of experience in hightech manufacturing and integration,developing everything in-house. In
recent times, however, its strategy
has focused on the integration of
cutting-edge technologies and essential components into a single
system to deliver top-tier products.

Mr. Kakiuchi. “Our products now
incorporate the latest digitalization, automation and other latest
technologies, ensuring they remain
at the forefront of innovation.”Indeed, Daiichi Jitsugyo Viswill’s
history has been marked by several innovative world-first products,
with another particular milestone
coming in 2009 when it became
the first in the industry to integrate
3D imaging inspection into its tablet visual inspection system. Thisdevelopment was followed by theintroduction of its TVIS NS Seriesin 2011. And In 2015, the Japanese
firm introduced the TIPS series,
a combination of a tablet visualinspection system and an inkjet
printing system, which has gained
increasing popularity in the market.
“Additionally, we’ve enhanced
our O-ring inspection system to ac-Rubber Products

commodate larger diameters and awider range of sizes. Recognizing thecost challenges in overseas markets,we’ve also introduced a higher cost
performance model of this visual inspection system,” adds the president.
The company’s strategic moveinto rubber O-rings segment is in
response to increasing demand
from the emerging CASE vehicle(connected, autonomous, shared,electric) sector. With the integrationof more cameras and sensors into a
car’s exterior, the need for rubber Orings and gaskets for sealing is crucial for these applications. Furthermore, the company has identified
promising growth in the automotiverelated parts and battery industries.

Tablet VisualInspection System TVIS-NSR“There is substantial untapped
potential in this sector since visual inspection has not yet reached
its full penetration, providing uswith ample opportunities for expansion and development,” Mr.
Kakiuchi reveals.

Expansion also entails expanding international operations, andsince last August, Daiichi Jitsugyo
Viswill has been actively pursuing overseas sales by directly
visiting customers to expand its
business in international markets.
“The pharmaceutical market inChina is picking up momentum
at a slow pace. We are preparing for sales expansion for ourtablet visual inspection systems
in this market so that when theChinese market fully rebounds,
we can make a strong entry intoit,” adds Mr. Kakiuchi. “There isfierce global competition in thisproduct category, and we aim toavoid engaging in price competition. As pioneers in the industryand technology, it’s crucial for
us to emphasize our uniqueness.”

Looking ahead to the end of
the company’s midterm plan until
2030, the overarching goal is tocontinue growing both the company and the workforce, contributing
to the sustainability of the global
society, the president highlights.
“Moreover, we aim to achieve aturnover of 10 billion JPY by thefiscal year 2031 by supplying ourproducts to various industries, including pharmaceuticals, electricalcomponents, automotive, batteries
and new functional materials.”
