DENSO to Build a New Plant at the Zenmyo Plant
DENSO CORPORATION announced that it will build a new plant by expanding the site of the Zenmyo Plant in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture. Construction will start in the first half of FY2025 and will be completed in January 2027, with production slated to start in the first half of FY2028. The total investment will be about 69 billion yen.
The new plant will be the first to incorporate DENSO’s next-generation plant concept from the planning phase. The plant will realize a creative workstyle based on digital infrastructure and automation technology, which will be deployed across the plant. It will also be capable of 24-hour unmanned operation, significantly improving production efficiency. Further, the aim is to build an environmentally friendly carbon-neutral plant by utilizing private power generation, which will use solar panels and hydrogen.
24-hour unmanned operation
- The equipment and the flow of goods will be constantly monitored by cameras and sensors in the plant. When signs of equipment failure are detected, the situation will be judged remotely and action will be taken before the equipment fails, enabling production lines to run non-stop.
- In addition to the production lines, the entire process, including unloading of materials and components, transfer within the plant, replenishment and feeding of materials, and packing of products for shipment will be automated to realize unmanned operation.

Japan's Denso, Mitsubishi Electric to invest $1 bln in Coherent's silicon carbide unit
Coherent (COHR.N), a major U.S. supplier of materials used to make chips for the automotive industry, said on Tuesday Japan’s Denso (6902.T) and Mitsubishi Electric (6503.T) will invest $1 billion in the company’s silicon carbide business. Denso and Mitsubishi Electric will invest $500 million each in exchange for a 12.5% non-controlling ownership interest in Coherent’s unit, as per the agreement. Coherent, which makes lasers and switches for circuits, has a market value of $4.69 billion and carries $4.4 billion in total debt as of fiscal 2023, according to LSEG data.
DENSO reduce component simulation time by 80 percent using its Simcenter 3D and NX integrated process
A major challenge today is to improve productivity in the design and simulation of automotive parts. Even before the rise of software solutions, designers focused on geometry and turned to analysts to test and validate performance. However, simulation teams have always been much smaller than design teams – creating a bottleneck in the development process.
With Siemens tools, DENSO saw an opportunity to streamline the traditional workflow between design and engineering analysis, uniting the disciplines. This was particularly true for component design and analysis where simulation processes are more routine. DENSO’s goal was to reduce or eliminate the iteration with a new workflow.
