TOKYO, Nov. 4, 2024 – From October 29 to 31, 2024, the METAL JAPAN exhibition took place at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Tokyo. In response to the evolving demands of the Japanese market, bedra Vietnam Alloy Material Co., Ltd. (“bedra Alloy “) made its debut at this prominent event, showcasing a range of lead-free, environmentally friendly, high-strength, and high-conductivity copper alloys. This exhibition emphasizes the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive material solutions that address industry challenges and enhance operational efficiency across various sectors.

METAL JAPAN stands as the leading expo for the metal industry, gathering a wealth of technologies related to high-performance metals including aluminum, copper, titanium, magnesium, and precious metals. This event unites key players in the metal sector, providing a platform for manufacturers to explore cutting-edge innovations. At this year’s METAL JAPAN, bedra Alloy presented a series of industry solutions that highlight the company’s advancements in sustainable and high-performance materials.

Lead-Free Eco-Friendly Copper Alloys

In line with current market trends, bedra Alloy’s eco-friendly copper alloy series represents a commitment to sustainability. These alloys are free from lead and beryllium, adhering to rigorous environmental standards such as NSF, LFGB, and FDA regulations in Europe and the United States, as well as compliance with RoHS directives. They are ideal for applications in consumer electronics, medical devices, children’s toys, smart home products, and sanitary hardware, where ecological and sanitary safety is paramount.

A standout product in this series is the bedra 49250, which boasts high cutting freedom with a maximum cutting index of 90% compared to C36000. Its lead content is ≤90ppm, meeting stringent lead-free requirements while demonstrating excellent strength and ductility, making it highly suitable for bending and crimping applications. Additionally, the PlugMax 22 alloy offers superior strength and conductivity compared to tin bronze, with excellent cutting performance and fine chip formation for easy separation from parts. The mechanical properties of this alloy surpass those of C5191, making it an ideal replacement for traditional materials.

High-Strength, High-Conductivity Copper Alloys

Driven by electrification, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, and global supply chain security, the demand for high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloys in Japan’s industrial and consumer sectors is experiencing significant change. This growing demand is met by innovative solutions like bedra’s high-performance copper alloys, which cater to a wide range of advanced applications.

The bedra high-strength, high-conductivity copper alloys find applications in smart devices, welding equipment, specialty motors, medical devices, the steel industry, high-voltage transmission and transformation, and precision die-casting molds. These alloys are produced using large-tonnage vacuum casting technology and strict quality management processes, ensuring uniform and stable composition and structure, excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and superior machinability. Notably, the bedra 11000 alloy achieves a hardness of over 80 HBW and a conductivity exceeding 97% IACS, meeting the technical requirements for high-speed cold heading processing.

Comprehensive Digital Production System

Beyond innovative products and solutions, bedra Alloy boasts a digital end-to-end production system. This system encompasses the entire product lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to sales, enabling real-time demand management, supply chain oversight, after-sales maintenance, and project management.

Additionally, with a robust R&D foundation, bedra Alloy leverages a global ecosystem for digital research and development of non-ferrous metal alloys. This capability facilitates the intelligent development of alloy materials through big data analysis, artificial intelligence algorithms, and digital twin technology, allowing for accurate predictions of material performance and formula optimization while reducing R&D costs. The company’s production bases span across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, ensuring rapid response and supply capabilities to better serve global clients.

As bedra Alloy unveiled its innovative copper alloy solutions at METAL JAPAN 2024, the focus remains on providing advanced materials that meet the evolving needs of various industries, promoting sustainability and efficiency for a better future.

Increased health seeker demand and direct ownership of the patient are driving a major transformation in India’s healthcare ecosystem: PwC India

Dec 16, 2021 by Gouri 0 Comments #digital technologies, #Dr Rana Mehta, #healthcare, #healthcare ecosystem, #innovations, #PWC India

Large-scale deployment of digital technologies and innovations are transforming India’s healthcare landscape post the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report launched by PwC India, titled ‘A new healthcare era -Trends in a post-pandemic world.’

The report highlights emerging shifts in the healthcare domain. Some of the key changes witnessed in the sector are:

The increased focus on digitalisation has helped in accelerating contactless healthcare and faster decision making. Technological innovations have further helped patients and consumers to understand diseases better and subsequently, demand higher-quality healthcare services.

There has been a clear shift from brick-and-mortar healthcare centres to virtual-first care during the pandemic. There has also been a transition from medication to holistic addressable adjacencies, thereby disrupting traditional pharma practices.

It is interesting to see how digital as a lever is unlocking the agility and helping players move up the value chain across the sustainable well-being spectrum faster than ever before. The telemedicine model of the past is now becoming a full-stack virtual care model.

Commenting on the study, Dr Rana Mehta, Partner and Leader Healthcare PwC India, said, “Voice-based AI will bring in the next big transformation in healthcare. Such a technological advancement would enhance the upstream value of the healthcare framework and further usher in the ambient era of VUI. Consumer demand, innovation in technology, and enablers are driving alternative models of care and transforming the healthcare landscape.”

As per the report, contactless care is gaining ample momentum and the focus is moving towards reducing and optimising the number of touchpoints between the health system and health seeker, without losing the quality of care.

This new need to optimise steps has resulted in deep minimalism – a concept closely associated with the ability of a system to simplify steps without compromising with quality. This includes decision support to virtual treatment enablement, single engagement with multiple touchpoints, telemedicine to teletherapy and graphical user interface (GUI) to voice user interface (VUI). The ecosystem has enabled access to quality healthcare through digital health, open networks and open protocols.

Consumer preferences are driving the evolution of healthcare delivery models which creates added value for all the players in the ecosystem, be it capturing of data to use of insights engines and advanced analytics. The pandemic’s impact compelled healthcare organisations to rethink, reprioritise and reengineer the business models. They are now addressing the emerging challenges for the entire healthcare delivery ecosystem, such as adopting virtual-first healthcare delivery models on a larger scale. This allows for a more efficient, sustainable, technology-enabled and scale-ready healthcare ecosystem. COVID-19 has created a window of opportunities for molecular diagnostics, the potential for which has largely remained untapped till now.

The healthcare ecosystem is now exploring more holistic models of care delivery. The preparatory shift across the healthcare value chain aims at improving both business and health outcomes. For example, the oncology space has undergone a major transformation with the emergence of more distributed models as the demand for personalised and advanced therapy increases. The Government and the private sector are taking various initiatives to increase health insurance penetration, coverage and innovation, universal health insurance coverage through digital exponential technologies; and early detection of illness to the continuum of care.
