CO2 Refrigerant Heat-pump Water Heaters for Household
Use
DENSO launched three new CO2-refrigerant heat-pump hot
water heaters. One has increased capacity to provide floor heating in addition
to household hot water. Another is among the most compact in the industry and
the third is a solar hybrid system that achieves extreme efficiency. |

| OVERVIEW |
In the consumer products category, subsidies introduced by the
Japanese government and growing environmental awareness were reflected in strong
sales of CO2 refrigerant heat-pump water heaters in fiscal
2005.
The DENSO Group company responsible for industrial systems at all
levels from development through production is DENSO Wave Inc. In Japan, there
was strong sales growth in security systems. Sales of industrial robots were also
buoyant, reflecting higher plant and facility investment by the manufacturing
sector.
One development topic in this segment was the establishment of a marketing
company in Japan together with Dentsu Inc., Dentsu Tec Inc. and Sharp Corporation
to manage the development and issuance of the Mobile Code system. Mobile Code
is based on QR Code, a kind of two-dimensional code (2D code) originated by DENSO
Wave. Mobile Code encodes information to prevent tampering and strengthen security. |

| PERSPECTIVE |
Energy conservation and environment friendliness are increasingly
important in the refrigeration and air-conditioning market. DENSOÅfs excellent
thermal system technology is now being applied to the development of revolutionary
new non-automotive products. Further development will focus on products and technologies
to meet energy conservation and environmental requirements. DENSO also aims to
expand its activities to include such areas as cooling systems for electronic
devices based on heat-exchanger technology.
Through our involvement in automotive electronics, we have global
top-level technology resources and quality control systems to fill a growing need
by the industry for automatic identification (ID) capture systems. We also pioneered
barcode and 2D code scanners. By combining this expertise, DENSO will reliably
serve this field at all stages from product development, sales and service through
to systems integration.
ID solutions help protect business privacy, business secrets and other
confidential information in today’s increasingly sophisticated and complex
world. DENSO continues to develop related systems and products based on applications
of proprietary automotive electronics technology. Our main focus will be the use
of smart card technology as a mechanism for the maintenance of system confidentiality.
Additionally, DENSO pioneered factory automation (FA) systems for
production lines. After considerable development within the Group, we now sell
a highly reliable FA system to outside companies seeking flexible manufacturing.
We will continue to offer automation solutions, especially industrial robots and
programmable controllers, for use in a wide range of manufacturing plants. |
