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.

一套充满活力和多样化的未来测量方案

未来的科技行业既令人兴奋又不可预测。对于小坂研究所来说，这不仅意味着需要提高优势，还意味着多样化自身业务，以适应时代的发展。株式会社小坂研究所（Kosaka Laboratory Ltd.）是一家以测量技术为基石的企业，专精于精密测量，现有三大支柱产业，即食品机械、精密测量和液压泵。

株式会社小坂研究所总裁lichiro Kosaka说：“公司就像一个实验室，可以应客户的需求创造新的事物。”公司的扩张计划包括从三大支柱产业多元化到六大支柱，重组业务，拓展新市场和新领域。“我们拥有液晶面板测量技术，而这实际上也是来自半导体产业中使用的技术。下一步，我们将会运用在食品工业中，但这需要一个清洁的环境，没有足够的数字化能力来管理这种清洁程度，这将意味着这项测量技术可能会在自动化方面改变食品行业的游戏规则。”他补充道。

另一方面，不会改变的是公司将继续致力于维持手工接触式测量技术，以及激光测量的初心。适应、转变和演变是迄今为止公司灵活业务的繁荣方式，这也是公司未来的核心。Kosaka说：“我认为中小企业的优势在于我们决策速度非常快，这对大公司来说是相对困难的。”
