NineSigma, representing a multi-billion dollar industrial machinery manufacturer in Japan , seeks technologies that improve heating efficiency, which can heat a heating cylinder in an injection molding machine more efficiently . This request for proposal (RFP) welcomes any proposals from organizations, whether they already own suitable technologies or can develop them based on their foundational technologies to meet the required performance. Various proposals from a wide range of areas can be accepted, including technologies that improve heating efficiency with proven applications outside of injection molding . Note that the RFP will later request you not only to provide your technology, but also to manufacturing prototypes if your proposal is selected.
