What if waves and currents could be measured simultaneously at an offshore wind power site? Do you have concerns like this?

The Signature series is an ultrasonic current meter (ADCP) that can simultaneously perform direct measurements of sea surface elevation, measure circular motion current velocity below the sea surface, and obtain current velocity profiles. Using time series analysis and spectral calculations on the acquired data, it is possible to derive various wave parameters, including wave height and wave direction. For water depths exceeding the measurable range for wave measurement, the device can be mounted on a mid-water float for measurement. (*Nortek patented technology) The maximum water depth for wave observation is 150m, making it suitable for surveys at floating offshore wind power sites exceeding 50m in depth. 【Features】 - Direct measurement of sea surface elevation using ultrasonic technology with vertically arranged transducers - Continuous and simultaneous measurement of waves (sea surface elevation, circular motion current velocity) and current velocity profiles (multi-layer current velocity) (Nortek patented technology) - The measurement position of circular motion current velocity can be changed during post-processing (Signature1000/500) *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

A compact ultrasonic flow direction and velocity meter capable of measuring wave direction (wave direction, wave height) and multi-layer flow direction and velocity. It also allows for real-time computation output for long-term monitoring applications.

AWAC is a wave measurement device that uses ultrasonic Doppler technology, making it ideal for simple wave observation (deriving wave parameters). It is also equipped with traditional multi-layer current velocity measurement functions (ADCP), allowing for the measurement of both waves and current conditions. For more advanced and flexible measurements of waves and current conditions, we recommend the multifunctional ADCP "Signature" series, which includes AWAC's wave measurement capabilities. AWAC emits sound waves from a transducer located at its center towards the sea surface to directly measure the water surface elevation, calculating wave height and its period. By emitting ultrasonic waves from three transducers, it measures the near-surface current velocity (caused by the circular motion of waves) to derive the wave direction spectrum. By using ultrasonic technology to measure the sea surface, accurate wave height and direction measurements can be achieved even from the seabed at depths of up to 100 meters, which is difficult with pressure gauges alone. Utilizing a uniquely developed SUV method, accurate wave measurements can be achieved even when mounted on a mid-water float (patented). By using a mid-water float in areas deeper than 100 meters, wave measurements can be conducted as long as the main device is kept at a depth of 100 meters or shallower.

A new ADCP equipped with a scientific fish finder sensor (frequency 70~120 kHz)! It can measure both flow and biomass with a single device.

The Signature100 is a completely new ADCP equipped with both a flow direction and velocity profiler (with a measurement range of 400m) and a scientific fish finder sensor (echo sounder). For example, when focusing on the relationship between the behavior of fish and microorganisms (such as krill) in the ecosystem and ocean currents, it was previously necessary to measure acoustic reflections (echograms) and flow direction and velocity data with separate devices. The Signature100 allows for the acquisition of both types of data with just one device. Specifications of the scientific fish finder sensor: Beam width: 15° (70 kHz), 8.7° (120 kHz) Monochromatic pulse: 70kHz, 90kHz, 120kHz Frequency chirping: center frequency 100kHz (BW50%, 70kHz–120kHz) Vertical data spatial resolution: 0.375–4m (1800 data points) Pulse length: 0.5–6ms Resolution: 0.01dB Dynamic range: 130dB

A lightweight, compact, and simple-shaped ultrasonic flow direction and velocity profiler. It also features pressure wave measurement (PUV) capabilities, catering to various measurement applications.

The Aquadopp Profiler is a highly versatile ultrasonic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). There are four types in the lineup depending on the measurement range (distance). It is the ideal ADCP for those who want to simply conduct multi-layer current and velocity observations. In particular, it allows for wave measurements using a pressure gauge to be performed between current and velocity measurements, making it a series with high cost performance. The model equipped with the Z-Cell function can emit sound waves horizontally from the sensor head, allowing for the measurement of flow around the instrument. This feature enables the measurement of flow very close to the instrument, which was difficult with conventional ADCPs. The measurement range is from less than 1 m to over 85 m. The measurement range is determined by the acoustic frequency of each model. (Model name: Maximum measurement range) - Aquadopp Profiler 2MHz: 20m - Aquadopp Profiler 1MHz: 25m (including Z-Cell) - Aquadopp Profiler 600kHz: 40m (including Z-Cell) - Aquadopp Profiler 400kHz: 90m

"Somewhat inconvenient" can quickly transform into "cost" and "risk" due to an increase in the number of employees or an expansion of business scope. What we are introducing this time is the process of a home care industry company with around 700 employees verbalizing their frustrations regarding payroll operations and considering the optimal system configuration. When we verbalize "somewhat inconvenient"... 1) The support quality of the payroll system being used is poor, causing significant stress. 2) The number of employees has been on the rise in recent years, raising concerns about running costs due to the pay-per-use system. 3) Macros are being used for data integration with a separate system. 4) We want to make backend processes like payroll payment reports easier.

We have released an introduction document for our cloud management system "Loglass." This document clearly presents the features and usage images of "Loglass," which streamlines management tasks such as budget formulation, performance management, forecast updates, and management accounting. Loglass centralizes data scattered across various systems and spreadsheets, reducing the effort required for collection, aggregation, and analysis, thereby supporting quicker and more accurate management decisions. Additionally, it helps address challenges such as the personalization of management tasks and increased workload through automation of data aggregation, history management, and real-time analysis functions. The document also includes actual implementation examples and the effects of implementation, showcasing results such as reduced workload, enhanced analysis capabilities, and improved decision-making speed. Companies considering promoting DX in management or reviewing operations centered around Excel and spreadsheets are encouraged to take a look.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. We have many implementation examples available, so please take a look at the case study page.

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.

Caught up in daily data entry, approvals, and inquiries, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. Such voices from the field are not uncommon. Even though it's clear that systemization is necessary, the reality is that people often get stuck on where to start and which products to choose. Common frustrations include "I spent time requesting materials and demos, but I'm not sure if it fits my company," and "After implementation, the inquiry contacts are scattered among different manufacturers, making it hard to connect quickly when issues arise." This moves us further away from the original goals of efficiency and reducing dependency on individuals. This is where the option of "agent implementation" comes into focus. Agents that handle products from multiple manufacturers have the advantage of providing unbiased comparisons and neutral proposals without favoring specific products. Even within the same category of systems, they can present the pros and cons side by side for a balanced evaluation. There is also a common misconception regarding pricing; in most cases, there is little to no price difference between direct sales from manufacturers and agents.
