[Report Presentation] Rules to Know Before Using Scaffolding! Explained Alongside the Labor Safety and Health Act 2023/1/19

During the period of rapid economic growth from the 1950s to the 1970s, the government and businesses invested a lot of funds to construct many buildings. These buildings, now around 50 to 60 years old, are showing signs of aging. Many structures are reaching the time for reconstruction or major repairs. In demolition and construction work, high-altitude work is almost always necessary. To carry out high-altitude work safely and efficiently, it is essential to set up temporary scaffolding. Even when simply referred to as scaffolding, it can range from a few meters to over several dozen meters in height. Therefore, this time, we will provide a detailed explanation of the rules for scaffolding installation. *For more details, please download the PDF document.*

A "non-contact switch" that allows you to open and close doors simply by waving your hand, without directly touching the doorknob or switch! By adopting microwave technology, the risk of malfunction due to condensation caused by temperature differences in environments such as low-temperature warehouses is significantly reduced. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, hospitals, nursing facilities, and restaurant kitchen entrances. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ Waterproof and dustproof (IP55 design), making the main unit washable with water (note: the wall surface (back side) is not included) ○ LED display and response sound allow for immediate confirmation of detection status ○ Two pattern settings for one-shot and latch output are possible ○ The thinnest in the industry! Only 22mm thick! ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

On August 19th (Tuesday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the three-month forecast from September to November. During this period, the upper-level westerlies are expected to flow more to the north than usual, and the Tibetan high-pressure system is anticipated to be stronger and positioned further north than average. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

We will start providing the toilet occupancy display system InfoLink. It integrates and manages door opening and closing sensing data to display on digital signage. While protecting privacy, it aims to enhance user convenience and improve facility management efficiency. 【Features】 - Convenience: By visualizing the toilet usage status, users can easily see the availability at a glance, which helps improve user convenience. - Congestion Relief: Digital signage installed at the entrance of the toilet or in distant locations can display the congestion status, smoothly guiding users. It can also show the status of toilets on different floors or nearby, promoting the distribution of congestion. - Safety: Alerts can be issued if a toilet stall is occupied for an extended period. (Options available for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 45 minutes) This allows for quick responses to individuals who may become unwell inside the stall or to suspicious persons who may be hiding. - Efficiency: Toilet usage status can be obtained as log data. By understanding the differences in usage frequency by location, it can be utilized for optimizing cleaning plans and appropriate toilet expansion plans.
