A Measured Plan for a Bright and Diversified Future

The future of technology-related businesses is as exciting as it is unpredictable. For Kosaka Laboratory that means not just improving upon its strengths, but diversifying to adapt. Having been founded as a measurement technolo-gy-based business, Kosaka Laboratory's track record in specialized precision now features three strong pillars of business, namely food machinery, precision measuring and hydraulic pumps.

"Our company was established as a laboratory to create something new according to the needs of certain clients," said lichiro Kosaka, president of Kosaka Laboratory. The firm's expansion plans include a proposed diversification from its three pillars into six, reorganizing to work in new markets and new fields. "We have the technology to measure flat panel displays, which actually comes from technology used in semiconductors. The next step would be to use this in the food industry, which requires a clean environment, but there is not enough digitalization to manage that cleanliness," said Kosaka. "This measuring technology could be a game changer in the food industry in terms of automation. "he added.

On the other hand, what will not change is the firm's commitment to maintaining its artisan-crafted contact-type measuring technology, alongside laser measurement. Adapting, shifting and evolving is how the nimble business has prospered so far, and that is central to its future."I think the strength of an SME (small and medium enterprise) is that we are very fast at making decisions, which is a difficult trait for large companies," said Kosaka.

一套充滿活力和多樣化的未來測量方案

未來的科技行業(yè)既令人興奮又不可預(yù)測。對于小坂研究所來說，這不僅意味著需要提高優(yōu)勢，還意味著多樣化自身業(yè)務(wù)，以適應(yīng)時代的發(fā)展。株式會社小坂研究所（Kosaka Laboratory Ltd.）是一家以測量技術(shù)為基石的企業(yè)，專精于精密測量，現(xiàn)有三大支柱產(chǎn)業(yè)，即食品機械、精密測量和液壓泵。

株式會社小坂研究所總裁lichiro Kosaka說：“公司就像一個實驗室，可以應(yīng)客戶的需求創(chuàng)造新的事物?！惫镜臄U張計劃包括從三大支柱產(chǎn)業(yè)多元化到六大支柱，重組業(yè)務(wù)，拓展新市場和新領(lǐng)域。“我們擁有液晶面板測量技術(shù)，而這實際上也是來自半導(dǎo)體產(chǎn)業(yè)中使用的技術(shù)。下一步，我們將會運用在食品工業(yè)中，但這需要一個清潔的環(huán)境，沒有足夠的數(shù)字化能力來管理這種清潔程度，這將意味著這項測量技術(shù)可能會在自動化方面改變食品行業(yè)的游戲規(guī)則?！彼a充道。

另一方面，不會改變的是公司將繼續(xù)致力于維持手工接觸式測量技術(shù)，以及激光測量的初心。適應(yīng)、轉(zhuǎn)變和演變是迄今為止公司靈活業(yè)務(wù)的繁榮方式，這也是公司未來的核心。Kosaka說：“我認為中小企業(yè)的優(yōu)勢在于我們決策速度非常快，這對大公司來說是相對困難的?！?
