Improving the efficiency of fruit and vegetable packaging work has been featured as a case study on the website of Watari Co., Ltd.!

Improving the efficiency of the bagging process for fruits and vegetables and reducing the burden on operators! We are currently providing examples and proposal materials for a system that combines a bag opening machine and a closure binding machine.

By utilizing our "Model 865 Automatic Bundling System," it is possible to significantly reduce the packaging process for fresh produce. This document presents a proposal for a fresh produce packaging line using the familiar "Bag Closure" commonly used for bread fasteners and an automatic bundling machine. The document introduces the packaging line from bagging to boxing. It enables work efficiency, reduces operator burden, and standardizes operations. 【Content of the Document (Partial)】*Detailed explanations are provided with diagrams in the document. ＜Packaging Processing Capacity＞ Up to 50 bags/min ＜Proposed Line Configuration＞ ■ Quick Lock Model 865 Automatic Bundling System ・ Model 1082 Bag Tensioner ・ Bundling Conveyor 300W×2,000L ・ Infeed Conveyor 300W×300L *Options Bag Top Trimmer System / Cold Printer ■ Automatic Packaging Machine (Horizontal Pillow Packaging Machine) ■ Counting and Sorting Conveyor *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The facility operating the nurse call system has made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
