ROK-Biotech, Korea’s leading cosmetic brand. Launching the new product ‘Dr. M-KIN Anti V Hand Cream’
Seoul, Korea - The demand for natural cosmetics has been increasing during Covid-19 throughout the world. The pandemic has also resulted in a change in people's habits and has led to a greater demand for a natural product with functional properties including many types of household items and food. A South Korean cosmetic brand ROK-Biotech is gaining attention for its natural functional products giving excellent antibacterial and antiviral effects; they have recently developed the products using a molecular biology tool. Their new product Dr. M-KIN Anti-V Hand Cream launched in January 2021 is a multifunctional all-in-one product that provides hand sterilization and skin protection with a moisturizing effect. The product went through a series of tests from the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR) and the antibacterial test results showed it kills 99.9% of germs (5 different bacteria was used); the antiviral test results showed it was 99% effective against Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). On top of that, the results of the Skin Irritation Test (SIT) showed that the product is classified in non-irritation category (0.00). This data further proves that the product is perfectly safe for the human skin. ROK-Biotech found out that sanitizers (70% ethanol) that we use every day, cause hands to become dry, while also causing other negative effects to our hands. In order to solve this problem, they developed Dr. M-KIN Anti-V Hand Cream. This company paid a lot of attention to the moisturizing effect by strengthening hyaluronic acid and ceramide ingredients for dry hand skincare. This product is perfect to use in the winter season as Centella Asiatica extract contained in the product helps your skin recover from frostbites (cold shock). ROK-Biotech's M-KIN is a blended word made by combining words 'Miracle+Skin', meaning Creates miracle products for your skin. With their unique technology for natural ingredients, they developed a hypoallergenic product for all types of skin including sensitive skin. The Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR), has proved it to be effective in reducing excess sebum and oil, improving blemishes and skin texture. It has applied the company's research data and objective verification regarding the functionality of natural oriental ingredients such as Coptis Chinensis and Anthriscus sylvestris extract in new products. They pursue their own path as a cosmetic brand specializing in natural oriental ingredients that don't cause skin irritation. M-KIN products are natural functional cosmetics with an excellent sebum control ability as well as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, containing berberine extracted from Coptis Chinensis. They said they were able to find various natural functional materials as a result of continuous investment in R&D in order to find out new technologies for functional natural ingredient development. Meanwhile, ROK-Biotech has announced that they are planning to launch a new item during the second half of 2021. They're currently working on research to develop cosmetic materials utilizing stem cell-derived exosomes with Biopharmaceutical Research Center located in Jeollanam-do, South Korea.

TOKYO, Feb 1, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) has announced the launch of "Hitachi Industrial Edge Computer CE series Embedded AI model", that was developed in collaboration with Intel Corporation. The product, an integration of Intel's AI technology and Hitachi's highly reliable control system design and manufacturing technologies, is a new model that incorporates an image analysis execution platform using AI and deep learning. Through providing this product, Hitachi contributes to the expansion of digital transformation, such as streamlining and automating tasks that rely on visual checks (the inspection process for finished products in the manufacturing industry) and solving management challenges using on-site data.Recently, the manufacturing industry and other industries have needed to urgently respond to intensified competition and increased complexity in the global market. Moreover, companies are facing many challenges, such as the need for the improvement of on-site work efficiency and the development of a new generation of expert workers, so they are implementing a digital transformation using IoT, AI, and other digital technologies. This trend has been accelerating amid the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially with an urgent need for personnel allocation measures to maintain physical distance between workers on site. In order to fulfil these objectives, it is important to automate and conserve the labor used in visual inspections and other conventional inspections that rely on the sensory judgement of expert workers. Yet, in order for companies to enhance their competitiveness, rapid problem solving and decision making are also required by optimizing the entire production tasks and making effective use of management data through the collection, processing, and analysis of data from on-site devices.Against this backdrop, Hitachi collaborated with Intel and developed "Hitachi Industrial Edge Computer CE series Embedded AI model" as an edge computer that will enable the effective allocation of on-site workers and achieve automation and labor saving. With a built-in image analysis execution platform that uses Intel's AI and deep learning, the product will allow the easy introduction of solutions using AI functionality on site. For example, by incorporating an application that analyzes images from a variety of cameras installed on site and then determines whether the assembly work is being done correctly according to procedure, the product can reduce the need for manual inspection of finished goods, resulting in labor saving. In addition, data integration and data sharing with existing business systems can be performed on this product, with an application that collects data from a PLC(1) and other on-site devices, images of the on-site environment, and data related to power voltage, vibration, temperature and relative humidity. These enable rapid identification of the affected range in the event of defects, and the detection of environmental changes that may affect the quality of finished goods, contributing to the reduction of loss costs and improvement of the quality of finished goods. Furthermore, the product makes it possible to integrally monitor multiple remote production bases and lines, which is expected to optimize the production activities of companies.Intel's OpenVINO toolkit is pre-installed on the image analysis execution platform of this product to leverage AI and deep learning. By using a variety of pre-trained models that are optimized via the OpenVINO toolkit on the CPU, the detection of objects, estimation of structures, and other solutions using AI functionality that could not be achieved by conventional embedded devices can be easily performed. With its thermal design that encompasses Intel's Atom processor's low power consumption feature and Hitachi's knowhow gained through the development of Hitachi's information and control systems, the product achieves a fanless, slitness, and spindleless structure that can also be installed in harsh environments, such as manufacturing sites.Going forward, Hitachi will continue to collaborate with Intel's AI technologies and ecosystems, and will offer platform products that enable control using AI. Offering our products supporting Lumada, which is accelerating digital innovation, Hitachi will expand collaborative creation with our partner companies and customers, and will contribute to digital transformation in a wide range of fields across Japan and global.(1) Programmable Logic Controller (PLC): Control unit for a variety of machines in factories that was developed to replace relay logic systemsFor more information, visit http://www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/month/2021/02/210201.html.
