In the face of uncertainty regarding future energy supply, we are advancing efforts towards high-efficiency "electrification" and "hybridization" based on gas combustion furnaces.

**Electrification of Thermal Equipment** In an uncertain future for energy supply, we are responding to high-efficiency electrification based on proven thermal equipment (combustion furnaces) to offer multiple options to our customers as an industrial furnace manufacturer. The electric hot air generator (AH-E) can replace our gas combustion type without significant changes to the equipment layout, allowing for electrification. **Hybrid Heating of Electric and Combustion Types** We have numerous achievements not only in fully electrifying thermal equipment but also in hybrid heating that combines the advantages of combustion types. We address challenges such as "securing green power, reducing costs, and ensuring power capacity" through hybrid solutions with combustion types. In addition to improving the efficiency of electric systems, energy-saving systems that utilize waste heat for gas burners are also possible. By incorporating hydrogen gas burners, we achieve carbon neutrality! **We Conduct Practical Verification Tests** We conduct various heating tests at the newly established "Thermal Technology Research Institute" within the Horyuji Center. Among these, the "QCO Test Facility" allows for heating tests with four different heat sources! We propose thermal equipment suitable for workpieces using gas, electric, hydrogen, and hybrid heat sources.

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 in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission 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 type "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.

In recent years, with the outbreak of infectious diseases, there has been a demand for products that cater to "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although automatic doors have been installed, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ Touch switches have been introduced to reduce unnecessary openings and closings, but hygiene is a concern. ☑ Touch switches require regular battery replacements since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" opens and closes automatic doors without contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and busy areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effects with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary openings and closings of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
