TDK Corporation will be exhibiting at CEATEC JAPAN 2017, October 3 to 6, at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City.

Under the theme “Technologies & Solutions for a Connected Society” TDK will be exhibiting next-generation technologies that support lifestyles supported by loT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence) and VR (Virtual Reality). The booth will feature sensors, energy units and solutions in four different zones:

Demonstration Zone
Demonstrations of VR, biosensors, a robotic arm, and more
Sensor Zone
Demonstrations of magnetic, temperature, pressure and sound sensors
Solutions Zone
Motion sensors, biosensors (Silmee^™), IoT solution examples, EDLC, PV and SESUB solutions
Energy Units & Next-Generation Electronic Components Zone
Wireless power transfer, PiezoHapt^™ and PowerHap^™ actuators with haptic feedback and electronic components such as MLCCs, inductors and EMC components

Visitors can experience TDK's most advanced technologies, including a demonstration of a movable robotic arm that is controlled via a remote control using TDK’s TMR angle sensors, imitating human arm movement. In addition, TDK will also present a wide range of products and technologies, such as the its 50 W-class wireless power transfer system, which will be presented for the first time, and the demonstration of different vibrations using TDK’s super-thin PiezoHapt^™ actuator.

TDK is looking forward to welcome you at its booth!
