Panasonic’s nanoeTM X technology will be in Jaguar Land Rover’s in-vehicle HVAC system in the future

Tweet

Osaka, Japan – Panasonic confirms that Jaguar Land Rover*¹, a luxury automobile brand will use Panasonic’s nanoe™ X technology in in-vehicle HVAC systems in the future. Models across the Jaguar range, including the new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV, and Land Rover line-up – including the Discovery and Range Rover Evoque – currently offer nanoe™ technology.

( http://ow.ly/3lwc50DZZOM@JLR_News)

nanoe™ is a nano-sized particulate ion produced by applying a high voltage to water in the air and contains hydroxyl radicals (highly reactive components) that easily act on various substances. The production of these hydroxyl radicals has been increased tenfold compared to conventional products, and nanoe™ X is used in home appliances such as air purifiers, air conditioners, washing machines*^A, and refrigerators, as well as in automobiles*^A, trains*^A, and commercial air-conditioning equipment because of its various effects such as deodorization*² inhibition of bacteria*³ and allergens*⁴

Not only the automotive sector but Panasonic will continue to pursue the realization of "QUALITY AIR FOR LIFE" in various areas of our lives and society, including, automotive, housing-related fields, and home appliances like selected models of air conditioners, refrigerator, and air purifiers to deliver a healthy lifestyle.

Manila, Philippines,  December 2017 – As part of its global “100 Thousand Solar Lanterns Project,” Panasonic Corporation (PC) donated 2,550 solar lanterns to 10 humanitarian and non-governmental organizations in the Philippines. The latest donation drive has brought this initiative to its 5^th year and with a total of 12,264 pieces of solar lanterns.

Panasonic Corporation (PC) donates 2,550 solar lanterns as part of its global 100 Thousand Solar Lanterns Project.  A hand-over ceremony attended by more than 50 guests was held at Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation (PMPC) in Taytay, Rizal graced by DSWD-Disaster Response Assistance and Management Bureau Director Felino Castro V (10^th from left); PMPC President Shinichi Hayashi (holding a solar lantern board); and PC-CSR & Citizenship Group, Program Management Section Leader Haruhisa Okuda (8^th from right).  Other members of PMPC management include Executive Director Masaru Toyota (4^th from left); Executive Director Yoshiyuki Takahashi (7^th from left); Assistant Director Marlon Molano (2^nd from right); Assistant Director Robert Pacheco (1^st from left); and Air Conditioner Business Division Head Harry Sarmiento (2^nd from left) with the officers and representatives of the 10 recipient-humanitarian and non-government organizations: Center for Excellence in Special Education (Stepping Stone) Foundation; Conrado and Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation; Davao Medical School Foundation - Institute of Primary Health Care; Interfaith Partnership for the Promotion of Responsible Parenthood; Jesus V. Del Rosario Foundation; Josefa Segovia Foundation; Konkokyo Peace Activity Center Information Office; Philippine Business for Social Progress; Pilipinas Shell Foundation; and Pambansang Kilusan ng mga Samahang Magsasaka (National Confederation of Small Farmers' and Fishers' Organization). 

This year marks the final year of the said Project. To date, over 92,000 lanterns have been donated through 131 humanitarian organizations in 30 countries since its debut in 2012.

A donation ceremony was held at Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation (PMPC) in Taytay, Rizal graced by DSWD-Disaster Response Assistance and Management Bureau Director Felino Castro V; PMPC President Shinichi Hayashi; and PC-CSR & Citizenship Group, Program Management Section Leader Haruhisa Okuda.  Other members of PMPC management include Executive Director Masaru Toyota; Executive Director Yoshiyuki Takahashi; Assistant Director Marlon Molano; Assistant Director Robert Pacheco; Refrigerator Business Division Head Angelo Tamayo; and Air Conditioner Business Division Head Harry Sarmiento.

PMPC President Shinichi Hayashi 

Mr. Hayashi commented, “Today’s donation marks the 5th of such efforts in the Philippines under the “Panasonic 100 Thousand Solar Lanterns Project,” which is one of the clear manifestations of Panasonic commitment to serve society and help improve the lives of people along with the aspiration of having a world where “no one will be left behind” and in pursuing ‘A Better Life, A Better World’.  Since the time the Project was introduced in the Philippines, we continue to receive positive feedbacks and testimonies that serve as inspiration for us to strive for more, exerting our best effort to carry out our responsibilities as corporate citizens.”

In introducing the 10 recipient-organizations of the donation for fiscal year 2017, Mr. Okuda presented some reports on how the solar lanterns are now helping the beneficiaries. 

“We are glad that our Solar Lanterns Project is really serving its purpose with reports that with the solar lanterns donated by Panasonic, teachers and school children without access to electricity are now conducting tutorial lessons, meetings, making lesson plans, and instructional materials even beyond class hours.  Likewise, teachers are delighted that the solar lanterns allow them to carry on with their classes even when the weather is gloomy,” Okuda said.

The aim of the Panasonic global “100 Thousand Solar Lanterns Project” is to improve such electrification needs, namely - access to education, healthcare and business opportunities through the use of the company’s technology and product.  Each donated solar lantern is attached to a solar panel. Through the use of renewable solar energy, the product not only mitigates social challenges, but also contributes to carbon dioxide emission reduction. Till date, the target remains at donating 100,000 units of the compact lighting devices to areas in emerging and developing countries with limited electricity access by 2018, the company’s 100th year anniversary.

The 10 organizations that received Solar Lanterns in the Philippines:

1. Center for Excellence in Special Education (Stepping Stone) Foundation Inc.

“By way of your intellectual ability, your personality and your humanity, we believe that you are truly the deserving individuals, who can help us in realizing our commitment to contribute in improving the lives of people, and to the further progress of society along with our corporate slogan in pursuing the concept of “A Better Life, A Better World”. In other words, aim to become good leaders in your chosen fields, and contribute to the society in the future,” Mr. Hayashi said. 

Each of the guest speakers took turn in commending Panasonic as they inspire the scholars.

“While it is true that tuition fees are now free in state universities, students need more than just tuition fees. They need sustainability in instruction, in doing research, projects, and other curricular activities... and we are very grateful that Panasonic has that mission of helping our young people pursue their dreams. So to this year's scholars, you are expected to translate your scholarship privilege to greater contributions for national development... and eventually help others when you become successful in the future,” Dr. Canapi said.

Dr. Inlayo also exhorted the scholars as she pointed out that achievers do not always like what they do, but they are winners because they do it anyway.

“Life is unpredictable with hardships, challenges, and trials along the way... It is important that you remember your priority and to allow God to use both success and failure to reproduce Christ’s divine character in you,” Dr. Inlayo added.

In congratulating the scholars, Dr. Cajote encouraged them to rise above all the challenges that they will face along the way.

“Our parents always tell us that education is the only legacy that they can leave behind. Education is something that we strive to attain for ourselves and for our family,” Dr. Cajote said.

Mr. Pacheco, for his part, urged the scholars not to forget that in a sense they are all ambassadors not only of Panasonic and their respective universities, but also of their communities, thus they must carry out seriously their responsibilities as scholars and “help make our world a better place”. 

Panasonic Corporation (Japan) funds the Panasonic Asian Scholarship Program for its localized schemes in the region. In the Philippines, the program is administered by PMPC and supported by PPRDPH.

The need for more reliable and efficient storage systems is becoming more pressing as analysts predict that up to 45 zettabytes (ZB) of digital data will be generated over the next four years. In the Philippines, different industries, government agencies, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are relying more heavily on Big Data to understand competition, discern patterns, make better decisions, and enhance productivity.

The country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, which relies on centralized data, has leaned on the cloud to accelerate growth and gain competitive advantage. BPO is the fastest growing industry in the Philippines, seeing a growth rate of 17 percent so far this year. SMEs, which make up about 99.6 percent of Philippine enterprises, can likewise benefit from cloud computing, allowing them to have greater reach, speed, and flexibility in acquiring or serving customers.

“The growing demands for active, and long-term, archival storage present a number of challenges that can strain existing archival systems. Panasonic’s blu-ray data archiver is uniquely positioned to address these challenges—from reliability, data integrity, cost, and environmental footprint—as compared to existing solutions,” said Hideo Yonenaga, General Manager, Storage Business Division, Panasonic System Solutions Asia Pacific.

Data archives are currently stored on either hard disk drives (HDDs) or tape-based solutions—technologies that tend to have relatively short lifespans and high energy requirements, leading to increased operating costs. Panasonic’s blu-ray data archiver delivers reliable data storage that lasts five to ten times longer than either tape or HDD archives. This longer lifespan reduces electronic waste, and when combined with lower cooling needs and energy requirements, makes blu-ray archival more environmentally friendly than alternative storage solutions.

The Panasonic blu-ray data archiver’s large storage capacity caters to organizations that deal with high data volumes. Blu-ray archival storage is also a WORM (Write Once Read Many) medium, which makes it tamper proof and ideal for compliance.

More energy efficient – Blu-ray archival systems require less power and run cooler.

Lower per bit cost – Cheaper high-capacity storage that lasts longer, removing the need for costly data migration.

Greater reliability – No physical wear on the storage medium means fewer failures, while still supporting best-in-class practices such as RAID 5, 6, and WORM.

Longevity with a lifespan of more than 50 years – Eliminates wastage and landfill required to get rid of alternative storage mediums. 

Plan B, a New Zealand-based provider of hosted infrastructure and business continuity services, has built the world’s first cloud-based archive-as-a-service technology on Panasonic’s blu-ray data archiver.

Said Ian Forrester, Managing Director, Plan B Ltd, “Our new service makes blu-ray archival technology accessible to businesses of all sizes and allows them to securely access and manage their archive data in the cloud. Our as-a-service model eliminates capital expenditure while providing easy access, lower costs, scalability and reliable data storage now and into the future. This service model will not just be available in New Zealand but in Asia and Australia as well.”
