TempTime Corporation

Temptime has an extensive range of time-temperature indicators (TTI) that change color to signal the occurrence of a potentially damaging heat or freeze event, allowing the user to determine whether or not the product should be used. The company's cumulative heat indicator has been hugely successful in the Healthcare market.

Printed Electronics in Japan (part I)

From July through September 2013 we have visited 35 companies and interviewed many delegates at our Printed Electronics Asia event in Tokyo as well as reviewing the lectures and talking to the lecturers. This article shares some of the trends in Japanese printed electronics and allied subjects that have emerged. It is only a taster from the huge database of information acquired and interpreted by IDTechEx analysts. Over the years, the task has been made difficult by the Japanese predilection for changing company names and this cannot help their business activity.
