Schaeffler develops and manufactures key components for fuel cells

  • Stacked bipolar plates form the core of the fuel cell
  •  Materials technology, forming technology, and surface technology in perfection
  • Fuel cell makes important contribution to shaping sustainable mobility
  • Schaeffler presents its vision of innovation-led future mobility at the Tokyo Motor Show (South Hall 3/4, Booth S3203)

     The irregular availability of renewable energies requires new energy carriers and electricity storage technologies. This is the only way to ensure sustainable mobility for tomorrow.
     Alternatives such as hydrogen, which is available in almost unlimited quantities on the earth, are becoming increasingly important here. Schaeffler has recognized the enormous potential of hydrogen technology as an energy carrier of the future and has developed key components for fuel cells and fuel cell stacks, so-called metallic bipolar plates. The company is using its traditional core expertise in materials technology, forming technology, and surface technology in this development work. Its main strength here is that it is strongly diversified in the industrial and automotive sectors and is thus involved at every point in the energy chain, from the generation of energy through to its use in vehicles.
     Mr. Uwe Wagner, Chief Technology Officer at Schaeffler said “We want to shape CO2-neutral, sustainable and individual mobility with regard to the entire energy chain. The problem of global CO2 emissions cannot be solved with purely battery-driven vehicles alone. Heavy goods vehicles, in particular, will require alternative energy storage systems and hydrogen in combination with the fuel cell offers outstanding opportunities here. Hybrid storage systems, i.e. the combination of a battery and hydrogen, are also an attractive solution for achieving a longer range in passenger cars.”
     The fuel cell is the key to sustainable mobility Schaeffler has been focusing on the value added chain of key components for the fuel cell for some time and is using its traditional core expertise here. Bipolar plates are produced by precise forming and coating in the thin-layer range, which once stacked form the core of the fuel cell system. The fuel cell stacks are energy converters, which let H2 react with O2 to form water. The electricity generated during this process can be used to power the vehicle’s electric motor. Schaeffler’s portfolio for optimized fuel cell systems is expanded by additional areas of expertise, such as electronic control systems, special foil-air bearings, smart thermal management modules or components for passive hydrogen recirculation.

     Schaeffler at the Tokyo Motor Show Under the motto “Making Mobility Sustainable and Autonomous”, Schaeffler will be publicly presenting its holistic approaches for future, sustainable energy chains and CO2-neutral mobility solutions, including its expertise in fuel cells, at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show. The exhibits on the trade show booth will also include the new Schaeffler electric motors in various output classes that are now going into large-volume production and solutions for intelligent rear wheel steering. The range is rounded off by the Schaeffler Intelligent Corner Module with its 90-degree steering angle, drive-by-wire as a key enabling technology for self-driving cars, and the Schaeffler Mover as a new mobility concept for urban spaces. Visit us from October 24 to November 4, 2019, at the Tokyo Motor Show in South Hall 3/4 at Booth S3203.

The group drops pin on “Panara Thepharak,” a single detached house project in a potential location on main road, a new central business district in eastern Bangkok, and plans to get listed in the stock market within 5 years.

Mr. Deepak Mishra, Founder of Greenfield Advisory Pte Ltd, Singapore, discloses that Greenfield Advisory, which is headquartered in Singapore with consecutive investment experiences in property business in various continents worldwide including Asia, the Middle East and Europe, has invested in Thailand since 2010. In the first 5 years, the group invested in hospitality business including hotel and serviced apartment before studying various businesses and expanding an investment to property development business. Although this business has slowed down since last year, the group believes that property development business has opportunity to create value and grow in the future. With a strong confidence in Thailand’s economic potential and stability which has been robust for the past several years when compared with other countries in Asia, the group plans property development in the country consecutively in the future.





“Greenfield Advisory is an investment group with various businesses. As we have learned Thai property market and culture, we decided to expand to low-rise housing development or “single detached house.” We are specialised in investment around the globe with research on consumer’s needs in each country. We know customer’s needs despite various culture. However, learning customer’s pain points can teach us to create features that respond to customer’s needs just like the group’s name and tag line, Fulcrum Ventures “Life Is An Opportunity,” Mr. Deepak says.

Mr. Somsakd Srikuruwan, Director of Fulcrum Ventures, Bangkok, discloses about the history of the joint venture with Greenfield advisory to set up Fulcrum Ventures Co., Ltd. that it derived from an offer to acquiring hotel and condominium Aspira on Koh Samui before buying a vacant land plot in Patong, Phuket and Grand Swiss Sukhumvit 11. Currently, Fulcrum Ventures’ assets comprise condominiums, serviced apartments and vacant land plots. It aims to develop at least 2 property projects per year with a combined investment of around 5 Billion Baht from now until the middle of next year, focusing on low-rise projects or single detached house. It also plans to raise fund in the stock market within 5 years.

“The key in business operation under Fulcrum Ventures brand is to deliver quality products to customers. Before our first project is created, we have done market study and analysis on hundreds of target group samples which takes many years until we are confident that it will become a perfect project,” Mr. Somsakd says.

Mr. Amritanshu Roy, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Greenfield Advisory Pte Ltd, Singapore, says that the company has learned customer’s experiences and needs from business experiences in all continents around the world. The data is applied to develop products with an attention to details to maximise 
customer’s satisfactory. Market research from many countries with various cultures is resulted in project design which truly concerns about resident’s 



requirements, for instance, functions, selection of quality materials as well as location on main road. The company is totally ready and strongly confident to launch “Panara Thepharak” which will perfectly respond to customer’s needs. This is a strength of property development under Fulcrum Ventures brand.

Mrs. Melada Kunanuwat, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Fulcrum Ventures, Bangkok discloses that “Panara Thepharak–Exclusive Space, Privileged Life.” is a quality residential project in prime location on a plot sized approximately 30 rai on a main road in Bang Pla Sub-district, Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan Province. The project will be premium luxury single detached houses with 2 and 3 storeys on a land plot sized 50 - 60 square wah with a usable area of 182 - 367 square meter. There are 3 types: smallest unit on a plot sized 50 square wah with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 car park lots for early family; middle-sized unit on a plot of 60 square wah with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 car park lots for extended family; and largest unit with 5 bedrooms,5 bathrooms and 3 car park lots for large family with a usable area of 367 square meter,  a passenger elevator and a maid room with its own bathroom which has a separate entrance from the main house. Launching prices start at 7 - 15 Million Baht with a total of 129 units worth a total of around 1.25 Billion Baht.

“We thoroughly design all units and the project’s environment as well as facilities for privileged life of only residents in Panara Thepharak, for instance, club house, saltwater pool, fitness room, meeting room with Wifi connection and public park with green area. Upgraded 24-hour security system starts from the entrance in front of the project where the entrance of resident and visitor is separated with CCTV all over the project. All units are installed with home automation. Design focuses not only on the look or technology for 
convenient living but also every single feature for resident’s happiness as we want to build homey and safety houses as much as possible in an urban society, a lifestyle of working people. Both unit and project design focus mainly on family’s relationship as we want a house to be not only a residence but also a shelter for everyone in the family of multi-generation members with 



the project’s attention to details just like a quote, “Home is Where the Heart Is,”  Melada says.

Thailand is become an ageing society with an increasing rate of various senior living facilities. As the project is concerned about the needs of senior people who want to stay with their children, it designs 3-storey single detached house in response to a large family. Each unit will have a passenger elevator to facilitate senior people. All unit types will have elderly care system, an additional security system in the unit which will alarm family members about any accident on senior people, aiming happiness of every resident in Panara.

Panara Thepharak also meets a future living trend together with environmental concern by emphasising on applying technology to reduce pollution with EV charger installed at all 3-storey units and at common area in the project to promote clean energy in a replacement of fossil fuels. There is also home ventilation system to reduce temperature in the unit.

, targeting “service solutions”
to grow two times, penetrating into retail business via “Active OMNI-Channel”,
and introducing “Construction Solution Center” to drive upgraded full-scale services
for all construction and homebuilding businesses.
Bangkok – 21 November 2019: SCG revealed its 2020 business strategies to transform construction and homebuilding experiences with products and service solutions driven by digital technology. The plan will deliver more convenient and speedy services, and address pain points of customers who have trouble finding the right contractors, materials, or high-quality work. Furthermore, SCG will focus on retails, with the launch of SCG HOME – Active OMNI-Channel designed for homeowners looking to build or renovate their homes. Co-Working Space, “CPAC Solution Center”, will also be developed to serve as center for technicians and contractors looking for counseling services and construction technology solutions. With this vision, the whole construction business, including products, services, and distribution channels, will be completely transformed.
Mr. Nithi Patarachoke, President of Cement-Building Materials Business,SCG, revealed that for 2020 strategies, “SCG has developed ‘Service Solution’ including ‘Construction Solution’ and ‘Living Solution’ to cater the needs of technicians, contractors, and homeowners, both for new constructions and renovation projects. At the same time, the company has launched Active OMNI-Channel for retails to provide seamless online-offline experience for home building customers, allowing them to connect with our experts, products, and services anywhere and anytime. Moreover, the ‘CPAC Solution Center’ is a Co-Working space which will serve as a center for technology solutions for technicians and contractors. At SCG, we understand that customers and project owners in the construction and homebuilding market today do not only want high-quality products, they also expect products to meet their standards and stay within budgets. Also, if they lack experiences in constructions, they will need expert advice. Plus, access to products and services must be convenient and fast. Thus, we must strive to eliminate these pain points to meet the needs of our customers.”

On Construction Solution, Mr. Chana Poomee, Vice President – Cement and Construction Solution Business of Cement – Building Materials Business,SCG, said that “nowadays, technicians, contractors, and project owners need technology that helps them manage costs more efficiently and save construction time. Also, they want expert advice on various technical aspects.
Construction Solution

Thus, SCG has developed Construction Solution which is a new business model called Solution for Life. This solution will upgrade the whole ecosystem of construction businesses, allowing technicians and contractors to deliver better output, with no more high costs, delays, or products that miss standards. With less of these ‘wastes’, they will surely enjoy greater ‘wealth’.” These can be achieved with the use of 1) construction technology and 2) personalized solution where solutions are developed with a customer-centric approach to address each customer’s specific problems and needs. Also, “CPAC Solution Center” is established as the first Co-Working Space in Thailand for people in construction businesses to exchange knowledge, give advice, and provide construction solutions. CPAC helps strengthen information platform and connect with innovations and technologies garnered from network partners in construction businesses in the form of Open Innovation to help solve various issues. BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology is also applied in designing process for a high-quality work that effectively reduces the use of natural resources. These are key strategies for a full-scale upgrade of construction businesses.” concluded Mr. Chana. 
Lifetime Solution

On “Living Solution”, SCG found that apart from construction problems, customers today also face with home living issues, be they heat, dust, and home safety for the elderly. SCG has cooperated with its partner networks in building knowledge to introduce key home living solutions. These include, first, comfort-living solutions to solve problems regarding heat, creating comfort living condition in the house.

Drone technology is used for site exploring for a more convenient, speedy, and safe services. SCG also developed Smart Application to replicate and estimate costs from photos, enabling customers to receive quotations faster. 
Active OMNI-Channel

Mr. Nithi also added on another key strategy, which is to penetrate into retail businesses via Active OMNI-Channel, that “traditional retail stores are channels to sell products supplied by manufacturers. Although there are these kind of stores throughout the country, customers still have trouble of where to find products and services. Plus, almost 100% of customers today, who are looking to build a home, starts searching for information from online channel. They also switch between searching online and visiting stores for as long as 6 months before they can finally make a decision to purchase products. SCG thus launched its Active OMNI-Channel retail stores called SCG Home to solve those problems. SCG Home seamlessly connects online and offline stores via digital technology to offer a convenient, confident, worry-free home-building experiences for customers by allowing easy access to products and services, anywhere and anytime, 24 hours. Customers have no need to restart the whole process of searching information or talking to staffs as all customer information will be continually stored. SCG has also introduced retail technology such as Virtual Reality (VR) technology that allows customers to see various virtual plans of their homes designed by SCG. If customers wish to see the real products, they can visit their neighbor SCG HOME. Moreover, SCG has developed a network of technicians trained by institutions. Thus, customers can be confident in the installation standard, as well as logistics, as SCG has a nationwide network of over 840 construction material transport companies. At this moment, SCG is well-equipped with products, services, technology, and partner networks to penetrate into retail businesses. Customers can rest assured in services provided by SCG. ” concluded Nithi.

, website platform that embedded nearby quality drugstore with pharmacist cure advice.
Nowadays, digital technology and innovations are applied in every dimension of life, including health services.  In the past, if we got headache, cold or fever we are looking for near less drugstore and not concern about quality, that is often shown only a signage of pharmacists, but they are not on duty. Then we got cure advice from drugstore staff but not pharmacist.

For this reason, the Digital Economy Promotion Agency, or depa, which is in the process of promoting and supporting startups with technology expertise. One of the technologies that is supported and like to focus is HealthTech. Recently, depa has funded Digital Startup for raising the level of service for a quality drugstore through "PHARMCARE (PHARM-CARE)", a website platform that will make people access to quality health services.
Dr. Nuttapon Nimmanphatcharin President/CEO of depa said depa is committed to promoting good health services with digital technology for people. With the proposal and strongly business model of PHARMCARE, we found an opportunity for growing and benefit for people. So, depa supported PHARMCARE under depa Digital Startup Fund (S2). That aim to improve the level of good health service with quality drugstores. People can consult and get an advice directly from real pharmacists as the standard services.


“PHARMCARE is likely consider as a good assistant to recommend us to quality drugstores in a Smart Healthy format. It helps us to find and reach quality drugstores with pharmacist stand by for recommending the right medicine that can check and diagnose primary basic symptoms. In order to get proper service other than that also provided health activities, with user friendly interface. So, this platform more value added to drugstores beyond just only selling drugs, "said Dr. Nuttapon.
Miss Jinnipa Panyawuthikrai, the founder of PHARMCARE, said she was a person who grew up in a drugstore. Her mother is a pharmacist who dedicated to helping the health of people in the community. Therefore, she had the opportunity to see and learn how a pharmacist come to help with primary health care seems to be a good thing. Because in most cases, when people in the community are slightly sick, they always come to buy medicine and ask for her mother advice. Starting from one then spread words of mouth to recommend friends and family. Until increasing the high number of people requesting an advice from her mother. 
“It makes we see that everyone wants a trusted person to taking care and give advice about health as a personal medicine doctor. Therefore, I have a discussion with my mother. In which she also introduced a of pharmacist networking who did similar activities, showing that there are a lot of quality drugstores ready to services for people who may not have time to go to get health services at the hospital. After I had the opportunity to study in the UK in Biochemistry and Management after graduated, I’ve returned to work as a business consultant. I saw the whole system of health industry and see opportunities, therefore developed website platform PHARMCARE to help the public search that embedded nearby quality drugstore with pharmacist cure advice and have good health standard services without having to pay extra money. The reason to create in the website platform are based on a survey found out that most people are not used to loading Applications or sometimes their phone memory are full which make them cannot downloaded the website is match solution," said Miss Jinnipa.

Miss Jinnipa said that the PHARMCARE website also provide pharmaceutical care that every staff has been trained in terms of questioning, observation and service provision for 10 basic diseases which are diseases that most people will go to buy medicines on their own but facing unqualify advice. Recommendations based on a survey of the number of people who enter the drugstore per year approximately 310 million times nationwide. The average person who walks into the drugstore 6-7 times a year which may up to over a hundred million times that they may not receive quality counsel at all.
For the technology in PHARMCARE platform, Miss Jinnipa said that the method of using is not difficult. Just open the website https://pharmcare.co. It will position the drugstore near the area where we are located which is showing in kilometers distance. And when you click to see the shop name which including the name of the pharmacist and ready to give advice, the service will be extra not only just selling drugs.

"Right now, PHARMCARE been launching for 5 months and has been very well acknowledged even without full marketing plan. But when we received the fund by the depa, we will be used to expand the platform development and do marketing to increase brand awareness throughout the country to expand data base for access health services of quality drugstores. Also recruit more quality drugstore join our network. Which currently has about 70 drug stores in Bangkok. We aim to expand to nearby provinces and throughout the country in the future, "said Miss Jinnipa
          Miss Jinnipa added that "PHARMCARE is not only helping to find quality drugstores near your home, it also helps to adjust the behavior of people using the service from a previously uncomfortable condition by buying medicine on their own. Previously, from the old habit, from the advice of friends or buy from what they see in the advertisement. Turning into receiving counseling from a pharmacist first just like having a personal medicine doctor who takes care of their personal health. And when every citizen wants to go to a quality drugstore with good pharmacists stand by. It will stimulate general stores to be alert and ready to improve service. Lastly people will also get better health services as follow eventually.
