Nous servons les technologies favorables a l’ environnent, nous supportons les ingénieurs environnementalistes, nous connectons les ingénieurs et les entreprises

Pourquoi TMMS a-t-il choisi de promouvoir le groupe CML?

Grâce à une raisonnable expérience des Achats en Asie et plus particulièrement en Chine la direction de TMMS comprend que les relations avec les fournisseurs chinois ne sont jamais simple.

La pression sur la réduction des couts pousse tous les acheteurs vers la Chine mais ils font tous face au même problème, la fiabilité ou plutôt le manque de fiabilité. Sans monter une structure locale avec une équipe chinoise près des fournisseurs il est impossible de garantir que la qualité, le cout et les délais de livraisons seront respectés.

La vie d’une usine chinoise est un continuel cycle d’expansion par phases consécutives de surcapacité pendant la recherche de nouveaux clients et de sous capacité pendant le montage de nouvelles lignes de production.
Durant ces phases les risques sont dus a la production dans l’urgence ou a la phase d’apprentissage des nouveaux équipements et employés.

CML a assisté ces partenaires chinois dans ce cycle depuis plus de 10 ans en fournissant le support nécessaire pour conserver une niveau de qualité et un service constant et un développement durable.

C’est précisément pourquoi CML a été fondé, pour permettre aux clients de pouvoir compter sur la production chinoise grâce a la gestion suivant les standards Allemands de qualité et de logistique par les équipes CML en Chine et plus précisément dans les usines.

Leur excellence dans leur tache a fait de CML un leader sur le marche du PCB pour l’industrie automobile en Europe en aux USA offrant des prix très compétitifs pour un niveau de qualité sécurisé et des livraisons ponctuelles depuis les usines de partenaires éduqués et audités pour répondre totalement aux exigences des clients.

CML a aussi complété son offre de service en 2008 en recréant une usine Allemande de prototypage PCB en Chine dirigée par un vétéran Allemand de cette activité.

Depuis Septembre 2009 TMMS support l’offre CML au Japon qui compte maintenant parmi ces clients plusieurs compagnies Japonaises renommées dans les secteurs automobiles et de produits grand public.

Ce Principe peux être appliqué a notre vie de tous les jours au travail comme a la maison. Nous devons être conscient des effets de nos actions pour améliorer notre qualité de vie.

Réduire, Parcequ’il faut faire attention a ne pas gaspiller, utiliser de préférence des produits de qualité a longue durée de vie pour agir a l’origine de la pollution.

Recycler, Parce qu’il faut donner notre préférence a des produits recycles et faire consciencieusement le tri de nos ordures, et ainsi éviter le gaspillage d’énergie et de matière.

Re-Utiliser, Parce qu’avant de jeter il faut penser a réparer ou a une autre utilisation possible, ou encore donner a ceux qui sauront réutiliser ce que nous ne voulons plus ou dont nous n’avons plus besoin.

Si vous cherchiez des panneaux solaires il y a 20 ans autour de vous votre seule chance était la calculette solaire, les images d’un satellite ou d’une expédition au pôle nord au journal télévisé. Aujourd’hui vous pouvez toujours trouver les calculettes solaires mais le photovoltaïque a envahit votre quotidien.

De la montre bracelet au lampadaire dans les zones hors réseau électrique, sur les toits et les murs des maisons, bureaux et usines avec une constante amélioration esthétique, sur les routes et dans les parcs naturels, des centrales d’énergie solaires et bien sur toujours sur les satellites pour ne mentionner que quelques applications.

Les panneaux solaires ont fortement évolué, rigide ou flexible, opaques ou transparents, avec différentes technologies comme le Silicon Mono ou Poly Cristallin, simple ou multi jonctions Silicon amorphe et autres récentes technologies comme les couches minces et CIGS.

TMMS est au Japon, juste a coté de Kyocera, Sharp et Sanyo et non loin de Mitsubishi. La zone Kansai compte une très forte concentration d’usines de cellules et panneaux photovoltaiques.Sharp fabrique a Nara, Kyocera a Shiga, Sanyo a Osaka et Mitsubishi a Iida, a mi chemin entre Kyoto et Tokyo, avec leur R&D dans le Hyogoken tous dans la zone Kansai.

Dans ce pays qui détient encore une part de marché considérable la différence ce fait par une incessante innovation technologique.

Nous pouvons vous assister dans vos démarches d’évaluation du marché ou de recherche de partenaire.

Car is a part of our life style but it is also one of the tools of the global warming so let’s think about what can be done to help earth to cool down.

You can avoid taking your car for short distance as your exhaust pipe catalyst filtering require a high enough temperature to filter efficiently and therefore you are polluting a lot during the warming. You can also try to use public transportation for more efficient use of fuel, just mind the pickpocket please.

If you definitely need your car then adopt a calm driving and avoid pumping on your accelerator, change gear without going too high in rpm (if you are not yet on automatic like in Japan) and refrain from going at excessive speed. All this will reduce your gas emission and also help you to keep your gasoline and car maintenance budget lower. A car well maintained and tires at the right pressures will save you liters of carburant and improve the safety of people onboard.

If you want to do more you can then decide to buy a car with Variable Cylinder Management like models from Honda able to use 3 of the 6 cylinders in certain conditions to reduce consumption or even those new clean Diesel engine cars from Toyota.

If you are really convinced of the importance to fight Greenhouse Gas then you will buy a hybrid car, companies like Toyota and Honda are offering today a wide panel of model for hybrid car like Prius or Civic. The ultimate solution would be a fuel cell car but let’s keep that for the next article called Hybrid and Fuel Cell powered car.

New fuel like Hydrogen, Methanol and other Bio-fuel are coming also to the front scene as well as fuel cell and solar panel adapted for car. Liquid Gas engine was a first and easy step to reduce pollution in center of cities but addressed more the smog than the real problem as this gas is also non renewable. LG engine taxi are already the standard everywhere in Japan for many years, easy when for taxi car there was until very recently only one model authorized for the all country, the Toyota Crown. This type of deal was made also between Shanghai government and Volkswagen, all Shanghai taxi where Santana VW with many LG engines. Citroen did it too in a city that I forgot in Chine like many others I am sure but recently, as all good things have an end, Chinese and Korean model are taking over the market at the remarkable exception in Shanghai of a new company using only Mercedes but definitely targeting a niche market and definitely not with clean engines yet.

So, to conclude as you can see there is many ways to help to reduce our dependence on polluting fuel and if weather is nice and it’s not too far why not taking a walk or your bicycle next time and enjoy the fresh air?

Today when you buy a car you can choose to protect the environment and choose a hybrid car. A hybrid car is a vehicle with a propulsion system resulting of the combination of 2 power types that compensate each other weakness. Most of today’s hybrid cars are based on electrical and combustion power combination like for example in the Toyota Prius with in addition smart systems to recuperate mechanical power from braking.

Several methods are available for transfer of energy between the 2 sources and the car wheels and each manufacturer is working on mechanical and electronic solutions to optimize the system and provide to the driver the same or better comfort than a combustion engine.

Coming next, but already here like the Honda FCX, fuel cell powered car will bring Greenhouse Effect Gas emission down but only if the hydrogen used is not coming or produced using fossil energy. Also those Fuel cell powered vehicles will use batteries or ultra capacitors or both to have a constant power output from the fuel cell transferred to the battery for charge and use later and ultra capacitors able to charge and discharge high power instantly. Wind turbine and Solar Photovoltaic Panel are the best candidates for catalyze process to produce cleanly Hydrogen. Company like BP solar already plan to have above each BP gasoline station to provide renewable hydrogen to it’s customers and Honda is supplying Hydrogen small scale facility to it’s customer buying a Fuel Cell car. Honda is even going further in their partnership selection as they offer global house energy solution, not only for the car. In Japan Company like Panahome are working on this kind of global concept.

Let see what comes next…

For some time now sugarcanes and other plants, easily transformable to ethanol or oil refined to biodiesel, are helping to reduce cars pollution to a degree under the name of bio fuels. This neutral carburant still require energy to be produced but refineries can use for example molasses generated by sugar production from sugarcane to power the plant. This is a very good example of renewable energy but if we look deeper in the biofuel production industry development a new danger is coming.

Just like industrialized countries feed on low wages countries worker to keep cost down, biofuel industry is likely to focus on the same countries to setup plantation and refineries. Like the Chinese farmers who welcomed warmly big chemical plants in 2001 promising job for everybody and better life level many are seduced by the prospect and might regret after few years. This will have the effect to increase reforestation to clear the way to plantations and increase the price of what was once food commodities.

For example the leader of sugar market, Brazil, convert an important part of its production to bioethanol and caused in the past years a strong price increase on sugar. Let’s take a look now at Malaysia. They let wood pulp companies destroy their ecosystem and create enormous acacias forest without animal life due to absent biodiversity. Malaysia is also leaders on palm oil production that claim more space on natural forest and accentuate current damage to the ecosystem. This problem is also impacting rich countries as in Europe where wine and oil producers might be tempted to sale more to distilleries than consumers due to price advantage. The same apply to USA corn that could soon become too pricey to finish on your plate but maybe this will avoid you ingesting GMO.

The problem is that this frenzy on biofuel is very little for ecology sake but mainly a financial speculation. As Lester Brown from Earthpolicy.org explain much better than I this will bring only famine and not even enough to fuel 16% of the cars needs if technology does not improve.

Countries with excess of those goods should be the only one to focus on it under strong regulation to avoid speculation on food commodities and keep security stock.

Now some good news, Honda and Rite in Japan developed a new enzyme and process to produce bioethanol from leaves, wood and other biomass usually not efficient in fermentation process.Efforts in this direction will allow transforming waste in efficient biofuel without impacting our diet.

One more concern is carbon trapping as any biomass used for biofuel does not help fixing CO2…

Yes, I am proud to say that I was seating in the latest model of Toyota Prius Hybrid car in front of my home.

At first I could not take of my eyes from the display showing in real time the propulsion system switching and recharging on the battery. Regretfully this was not my car but thanks to my father in law who had the patience to wait 3 months to get this great car, here in Japan. On a private note, I use my bicycle to commute everyday, rain or snow but it’s not too hard when you work 10 minutes from home.

Anyway, that was a great experience to see in everyday’s life that without compromising anything the car lovers can experience green driving. Design, comfort and driving performance have nothing to envy to other cars of this type on regular propulsion and the silence is enjoyable when the electric engine only works.

I was able to see in Yokohama EVS 22 show many marvelous achievements but having this car in everyday’s life context really brings a meaning to all the working efforts we are devoting to renewable energy and sustainable development.

With current global temperature increase everybody tries to cool down in summer in counties that never needed that in the past. Not addressing properly this problem will bring enormous waste of energy.

Anybody who visited a natural cave must have heard about the fact that going down 5 meters deep under the surface the average temperature is 15 Celsius degrees whatever the season is.

Companies in Japan developed very efficient means using this natural temperature regulation to cool in summer and warm in winter. Several schools and university are using this technology today to maintain the comfort of their students without ruining the environment they will evolve in. Those solutions can be applied best to passive houses that make use of new materials to avoid the thermal exchanges or in good old stone houses that would have been upgraded with new passive style windows and under roof.

A compromise between clean and non-clean energies comes with active heat pump systems that bring your hot water tank to 60 Celsius degrees by extracting external air heat even at -5 Celsius degrees but consume electricity but stays much more efficient than pure electrical heating. With air-conditioning machines flourishing a good combination seems evident putting together the cooling of your house with the warming of your hot water.
