TDK's contribution to a sustainable future and the advancement of society is growing in a world with 6G networks, where smart cities, electric vehicles, renewable energy, meta-universes, and smart gadgets of all kinds will be interconnected.

Latest Achievements in Artificial Intelligence

The industry is currently confronted with an unsustainable contradiction between exponentially increasing computing power demand and energy consumption as AI moves from algorithmic innovation to the deep-water zone of computing power infrastructure construction. This is due to the exponential growth in the number of large model parameters and the explosive increase in edge computing scenarios. By deeply integrating material science, manufacturing process, and system integration, TDK is making significant progress in resolving this issue.

TDK is committed to commercialization and will showcase its ultra-low-energy neuromorphic component spin memristor at this year's exhibition. By mimicking the energy-efficient functioning mode of synapses in the human brain, this technology can lower the energy consumption of AI applications to 1% of that of conventional devices. This reduces power consumption while providing protection from environmental changes and long-term data storage.

Furthermore, by using edge computing, sensor fusion wireless connectivity, and automated machine learning algorithm training and deployment, TDK SensEI's edgeRX products create predictive maintenance solutions for Industry 4.0, giving manufacturing, heavy industry, and renewable energy a previously unheard-of level of intelligence and productivity-boosting potential. This time, they will offer clients "out-of-the-box" AI-enabled cutting-edge Condition Based Monitoring (CbM & PdM) solutions. These solutions are useful in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, food processing, water treatment, steel, energy, smart logistics, and more. They can keep an eye on complicated machinery and equipment, including motors, compressors, generators, and more.
