It was established as a joint venture between AISIN, Denso, Sumitomo Electric, and Toyota Motor Corporation.

ADVICS has established its first overseas base in Detroit, USA.

ADVICS established sales companies in Thailand and Indonesia as its first bases in these regions. Subsequently, it established production facilities and other structures, laying the foundation for building a system that would contribute to the expansion of its business in the ASEAN region.

In conjunction with local production, we have established ADVICS first base in China.

Our headquarters building was completed in 2004. That was the year we established our basic philosophy and built a foundation by uniting different forces.

In addition to direct activities such as reducing water and paper consumption, we focused on initiatives aligned with our business operations, such as miniaturizing and lightening products, and as a result, we obtained ISO 14001 certification.

The parking brake operation mechanism has been replaced from manual to electric. Furthermore, it features a world-first shift-linked control system that automatically activates when the shift lever is in the P (park) position and automatically disengages when the shift lever is moved out of the P position.

Unlike typical robot competitions, the ET Robocon is a competition that judges the quality of designs utilizing software development and modeling languages. Having won its first championship in 2008, the team has grown into a formidable force, boasting a total of six victories to date.

In 2007, we established VISION2015, adopting the statement, "For Safety Evolution: Scientifically addressing safety and providing peace of mind."

We acquired 80% of the shares of Sumitomo Brake S&E Co., Ltd., a sales company for aftermarket automotive parts within the Sumitomo Electric Group, and changed the company name to S&E Brake Co., Ltd. We also expanded our business into the aftermarket brake sector.

ADVICS As the first European office, we established the ADVICS Europe Office within AISIN Europe (Belgium).

Advics acquired the Kariya Plant and AS Brake Systems. With production capabilities added to sales and development, ADVICS began its journey as a manufacturer.

Established as ADVICS 'Caliper production base in the ASEAN region, it expanded to include control product production in 2014, strengthening its position as a production base supporting the ASEAN region.

To fully enter the rapidly growing Indian automotive market and expand our brake business, we have established a production and sales company in India equipped with development capabilities.

With the aim of contributing to Hokkaido, a region visited for cold-weather testing, and promoting ADVICS brand, the company acquired the naming rights to the Tokoro Curling Hall in Kitami City, a sacred place for curling. The hall was renamed "ADVICS Tokoro Curling Hall," and every summer, ADVICS Cup, featuring top men's and women's teams, is held there. This contributes to the popularization of curling and the revitalization of the local community.

To contribute to further improving the fuel efficiency of environmentally friendly vehicles, we have adopted a brake-by-wire configuration that ensures a large amount of regenerative braking.

To accelerate the development of advanced technologies that provide safety and security, we have established a Technical Center. By consolidating design functions, we have created an environment that facilitates development and allows employees to work with peace of mind.

As part of a business restructuring, Toyosei Brake acquired the drum brake business from Nisshinbo Brake. Subsequently, ADVICS invested in Toyosei Brake, making it a subsidiary and strengthening the competitiveness of its basic brake business.

Based on the fifth generation, this system addresses the needs of larger vehicles and autonomous driving. By allowing arbitrary control of the hydraulic pressure of the front and rear wheels, the amount of energy regeneration has been increased. In addition, the two-channel control system contributes to vehicle attitude control, improving ride comfort and a sense of security.

In 2021, we concretized our vision for 2030, taking into account our current challenges.
By combining mechanical, electrical, and software technologies, we have set our sights on becoming the brake manufacturing group that satisfies the all customers in the world and forming the core of vehicle motion systems.

Our challenges extend beyond products installed in vehicles. Leveraging our accumulated expertise, we have developed "Boost Master," a high-pressure cleaning tool for machining centers. ADVICS' technology contributes to improving productivity and saving energy in manufacturing sites.

The development of a new Electronically controlled brake system involves making the power supply on-demand by using a gear pump and brushless motor. By independently controlling the brake pressure of the front and rear wheels, energy regeneration is increased, and it also contributes to vehicle attitude control, improving ride comfort and safety. Furthermore, when combined with ESC modulator, it improves fail-operation performance in the event of a malfunction, making it compatible with future autonomous driving (Level 3 and above).

In the continuously growing Indian market, we have signed a joint venture agreement with Brakes India. To meet local needs, we plan to produce control brake products, including ESCs, and are advancing localization and strengthening our competitiveness.

The power supply has been replaced with an electric cylinder and brushless motor, resulting in a smaller size and lower cost. The electric cylinder, a first for ADS, employs planetary gears and ball screws, and ensures high reliability with a unique piston alignment structure using spacers and C-rings. Furthermore, by combining it with a linear valve, it achieves the world's first independent front and rear 2-channel control in an electric cylinder pressurizing product, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and vehicle stability.

We have jointly developed "BRAKEPAD SCAN powered by ADVICS," a service that visualizes the remaining brake pad thickness using image diagnostics and provides a report, with SmartDrive Co., Ltd.
Leveraging the technical expertise we have cultivated over the years, we contribute to reducing the workload and improving work efficiency on-site.
