Since I wanted to work in the video production industry, after graduating from university, I went to three companies in turn in the area of progress management of animation production, satellite TV program production, and liquid crystal images of amusement products. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the third company experienced a gradual decline in business and went bankrupt two years later. I was so grateful for the various experiences that I had had. However, when I thought of living with my family, I wanted to commit myself to a company with a solid management base for a long time, rather than job-hopping between small companies. I gave up my apartment in Kanagawa Prefecture and moved to Hitachinaka City, where my father was based. I joined Mito Engineering Service as recommended by my uncle.
I am responsible for controlling the LCD indicators for car operation panel of elevators. The display itself is not complicated, as it is most important to be universally easy to understand. The area we focus on is the invisible back of the panel. We have to monitor the condition of elevators and use program control to determine the condition. Especially in the event of a fire or earthquake, this is life-related, so warnings of emergency situations must be displayed clearly.
Later, I also developed communication apps for maintenance. Elevators are required to undergo regular regulatory checks, but quick and accurate work is desired to avoid inconvenience to users. In order to facilitate the inspection, we strive to improve the operation screen of the communication terminal, and make the terminal’s screen and buttons to be easy to understand and operate.
