Abstract
In this article, energy-saving technology of image fusing system and reusing/recycling technology for the coming circulating society from the viewpoint of the concept “Comet circle" are explained by the examples of Ricoh's actual cases.
The brief summary is as follows:
1)“QSU" technology which was developed to address “IEA-DSM Program" has now been evolving into Color QSU which is based on IH, after the development of HYBRID QSU which was integrated with Ricoh's Capacitor technology.
2)“Comet circle", which is shown by Ricoh as the conceptual image of the ideal form of circulating society, has been realized by Ricoh's MFP product, Supply product, and their Packing that are developed with the circulating development based on Quality Engineering, Visualization, and Quality Prediction.
