Setting the course for the age of AI at electronica 2024

TDK Corporation will showcase its solution portfolio for the whole spectrum of electronics applications at electronica 2024. The company is positioning itself for the age of AI. The company expects rapid growth around this new technology in the coming decade and is aligning its innovation and business strategy accordingly. Moreover, it sees further global megatrends in green and digital transformation.

Noboru Saito, president and CEO of TDK Corporation, says: "We are firmly convinced that these megatrends will change the world as we know it as fundamentally as the internet has done – and at a much faster pace. Looking forward, we expect these transformations to continue and to increase in importance rapidly. In a society equipped with 6G networks, the metaverse, smart cities, clean energy, electrified vehicles, and various gadgets will become end devices connected to networks. This means that the areas in which TDK can make valuable contributions to a sustainable future and thus to society are growing."

At its show booth everything revolves around the company's newly established long-term vision 'TDK Transformation. It is accelerating transformation for a sustainable future'. With its products, it aims to accelerate technological progress and thus also social transformation.

To achieve this, the company is constantly striving to develop groundbreaking innovations – in terms of materials, manufacturing processes, and the properties of products in customers' applications.

AI, for instance, has already transformed many aspects of everyday life and will continue to impact industry, automation, and technology. The company's solutions aim to reduce potential obstacles to a smart and widespread adoption of AI, such as excess power consumption. Also, by combining sensor fusion, components, software, and AI, it is poised to transform its key markets of automotive, industrial and energy, and ICT.

The company's recently announced 'spin memristor' is a basic element used in neuromorphic devices. By mimicking the energy-efficient operation of synapses in the human brain, this element could cut the power consumption of AI applications down to 1/100th of traditional devices – a game-changer for power-hungry AI applications.

The newly established group company TDK SensEI develops solutions for Industry 4.0 by combining sensing at the edge, electronic components, and batteries with software and AI – enabling manufacturing, heavy industry, and renewable energy with unprecedented intelligence and possibilities to increase productivity.

TDK's power supply solutions will be at electronica 2024, booth A4.503, from November 12 to 15, 2024.
