We have received numerous comments from customers saying, "It's cool!" This is thanks to the introduction of the "Thermo Barrier Sky Method" by Shimizu Kanamono Co., Ltd.

What is the patented construction method "Sky Method" that is applied from the top of a folded plate roof?

Cuts approximately 97% of "radiant heat from the sun" that cannot be completely prevented by insulation materials. The 'Sky Method' is a patented technique that involves applying a heat-insulating sheet over a corrugated roof. 【Features of the Sky Method】 ■ Indoor temperature in summer decreases by about 11°C (maximum temperature difference based on experimental results) ■ Contributes to savings on air conditioning costs, prevention of product deterioration, and improvement of the working environment ■ Provides stable heat insulation effects regardless of the skill level of workers or weather conditions during installation ■ Effective against leaks ■ Uses a strong double-sided tape that does not peel off even in winds of 40 m/s ■ Patent obtained (No. 6598337) *For more details, please download the PDF.

"Under Construction of Ribbed Roof" | Ribbed Roof (Construction from Under the Roof)

The radiant heat emitted from the folded plate roof is significantly reduced by the reflection of the radiant heat by the inner thermal barrier S. This results in a lower perceived temperature. A lightweight steel frame is constructed under the folded plate roof, and the thermal barrier S (non-combustible certified product) is installed beneath it using tapping screws on the lightweight steel frame. *Working at heights or the installation of rolling scaffolding is required.

Installation of non-combustible certified Thermo Barrier S on the inner side of the roof in 'Slate Roof Under Construction'.

We would like to introduce the construction method "Under Slate Roof Installation" by Life Tech Co., Ltd. for factories and stores. Thermal Barrier S (fireproof certified product) is installed with tapping screws towards the steel frame's purlins under the slate roof. The thermal barrier S on the inside reflects the radiant heat emitted from the slate, significantly reducing the impact of radiant heat. This results in a lower perceived temperature. 【Features】 ■ The thermal barrier S on the inside reflects the radiant heat emitted from the slate. ■ Significantly reduces the impact of radiant heat. ■ Has the effect of lowering the perceived temperature. ■ There is a difference in the impact of radiant heat between areas with and without thermal barrier S installed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI

This time, I would like to talk a little about current measurement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors (including power devices and power modules).

From measurement instruments to point cloud processing and analysis software, the latest solutions come together! We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement instruments and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will announce surprise new products!

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
