Drones also demonstrate their capabilities in the inspection of solar power generation.

Why not switch from traditional methods to drone inspections?

We can also conduct inspections of solar panels. Drone inspections of solar panels are carried out through infrared image analysis and visible light image analysis. This time, I will explain the infrared image analysis method. Infrared image analysis involves measuring the surface temperature caused by abnormal heat in unhealthy parts using an infrared thermography device, and detecting areas suspected to be hotspots by comparing the obtained surface temperature distribution with that of healthy parts. Areas that cannot be confirmed visually can also be discovered through drone inspections. Leaving hotspots unattended can lead to fires, so early detection is crucial. If you would like to know more details or specific examples, please feel free to contact us.

Why not switch from traditional methods to drone inspections?

We can also accommodate inspections of solar panels. Inspections of solar panels using drones are conducted through infrared image analysis and visible light image analysis. Continuing from the last time, I will explain the visible light image analysis method. Visible light image analysis is a method that detects damage and contamination conditions based on images taken from above with a high-precision camera on the panel surface, where visual inspections are difficult. There are areas that cannot be confirmed from the ground, but capturing images from above can lead to the discovery of problem areas. Continued damage and contamination can lead to a decrease in power generation efficiency, so early detection and response are important. If you would like to know more details or specific examples, please feel free to contact us.

Hotron's vehicle detection sensors allow you to search for products that meet your needs from three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." The sensors detect the passage of vehicles and notify you with a rotating light, or switch the display of parking availability. They manage vehicle presence, full parking, and exit warnings in parking lots, contributing to safe driving and smooth operational management within the parking area. They are used in various settings, from coin-operated parking to large-scale parking lots.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot at the entrance. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing types "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Thank you very much for your continued support. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we will be observing the following schedule as our year-end and New Year holiday. From Saturday, December 27, 2025, to Sunday, January 4, 2026. We will resume normal business operations on Monday, January 5, 2026. During the holiday period, inquiries to the Kanban Workshop will be accepted via the form 24 hours a day, but responses will be provided sequentially on business days. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
