Research & Development
This is all for the safety and comfort of our customers.
We are generating unique technology with the world’s highest-level research and development organization.
Our powerful technology development organization is the base for the creation of one-of-a-kind products.
Since our foundation, New Cosmos Electric has grown as a technology-intensive corporation. Our engineering staff accounts for about one quarter of all employees. They tackle technology development day by day with fully equipped facilities including cutting-edge analytical devices and testing devices.
New Cosmos Electric has built the world’s largest-scale research and development organization in the field of gas sensors.
Gas sensors are New Cosmos’ core technology. At the world’s largest-scale research and manufacturing facility "COSMOS SENSOR CENTER", our development departments start from the basic research stage with original concepts and have developed many innovative gas sensors.
Of course our developments have made important improvements to existing sensors, making them more compact and more sensitive, and they have also widened our possibilities into new fields based on the fruits of our research, for example by developing odor sensors.
It started operations in 2015. As both a manufacturing plant and a core facility for gas sensor development, it realizes sophisticated and efficient production lines and sensor development which enhances the value of our sensor technology.
We develop valuable products that meet the needs of global markets.
As the only manufacturer in Japan both for residential gas alarms and industrial gas detectors, we develop products that meet the needs of the markets. Our Product Development Section always seeks market-oriented products based on the voices from the customers via our Sales Section, as well as speeding up the product development in collaboration with our Sensor Development Section. And, not only in Japan, we are extending overseas market to provide our valuable products in consideration of international, European, North American, and Chinese and other national standards and certificates.
Fire laboratory in company headquarters. Actual fires are reproduced here to verify the performance of fire alarm units, which leads to the development of new products and improvements to existing products.
New Cosmos Electric seeks out possibilities for sensors in joint research that teams industry, universities, and governments.
New Cosmos actively carries out research and development in cooperation with industry, universities, and government in order to further advance gas sensor technology. For example, we jointly develop sensors with university institutions, including inviting university professors to lead study meetings.
Also we have an extensive proven track record in the development of sensors for hydrogen-fuel automobiles under contract from the NEDO*.
Recently, we have been conducting joint research on high-precision odor sensors with Ehime University.*New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization
