Technology Platforms
The Sekisui Chemical Group has established Technology Platforms (TPFs) to strengthen existing businesses and to create and expand competitive new businesses.Through these platforms, we aim to reinforce our core technologies — our key strengths — from a long-term perspective.
Led by the technical leaders assigned to each platform, we drive TPF activities focused on deepening core technologies, developing technical talent, and fostering technology-based collaboration across companies.

Voices of TPF Leaders
生体センシング
-
Akinori Nagano
- Thanks to advances in AI, data collection and analysis have become accessible to everyone. Using our proprietary sensing technologies—such as piezoelectric foams and haptic sensors—we visualize data that was previously impossible to capture, revealing hidden challenges and changes. We are dedicated to contributing to better decision-making and improving your quality of life.
-
Jijun Jin
- Our sensing technology integrates chemical technology (advanced functional materials) with AI-driven analytics to capture subtle signs of change that have traditionally been difficult to detect.
From changes in physical condition to early indicators of deterioration in social infrastructure, we provide a data-driven mechanism that delivers early alerts.Through technology, we support people’s health and longevity, as well as the reliable and safe operation of social infrastructure.
機能予測CAE
-
Masahiko Heguri
- In functional prediction CAE, where many materials serve as intermediate components, we aim to enhance product competitiveness across planning, development, and sales by linking “customer-specific functional performance” with “product design characteristics.”
By combining the expertise of chemical professionals with model-based development for performance prediction, we pursue precise goal achievement and development efficiency, enabling us to deliver compelling product and feature proposals.
情報科学
-
Kenichi Shinmei
- The Information Science TPF integrates Materials Informatics (MI), computational science, evaluation and analysis, image analysis, and experimental automation to transform materials development through the power of data and digital technologies. Leveraging our proprietary data infrastructure and advanced analytics, we enable breakthrough new material proposals and dramatically improve development efficiency.
評価分析
-
Shouhei Hananoki
- Among the roles we play in evaluation and analysis technology, elucidating the mechanisms behind phenomena is critical to accelerating development and resolving manufacturing issues. While specific analytical methods were sufficient to solve problems in the past, the number of highly complex challenges has increased in recent years, making it increasingly necessary to interpret data from multiple angles using a variety of analytical techniques. Therefore, we are collaborating more closely than ever before and working together as a unified team to tackle these challenges.
