It's the first time using third-party maintenance... The reason why a manufacturing customer chose "interim maintenance."

The target device is a rack server manufactured by NEC, released in 2016. This time, due to the overlap of the maintenance expiration period and the internal system updates, there were concerns about what to do if any issues arose during the period of operation without maintenance. On the other hand, this was the first time using third-party maintenance, and there were concerns about the support content. In the case of "temporary maintenance," if you share the configuration information, we strive to provide prompt estimates and service proposals. Additionally, if requested, we offer opportunities to introduce our services through face-to-face and web meetings. You were satisfied with our 24/7 support for incidents and our maintenance system with dedicated materials, leading to your contract with us. ■Challenges You had a need to retain the current data for a certain period due to changes in the internal system for manufacturing records. Additionally, you contacted us because the EOSL would end before the new system went live. ■Proposal As an option for hardware maintenance, we proposed "temporary maintenance." Although you were anxious about using third-party maintenance for the first time, our sales representative carefully explained the maintenance system, which reassured you, and you proceeded with the contract.

Customer case in the transportation industry: Solving the issue of storing data with legal retention periods.

The equipment used by our customer in the transportation industry, which handles not only domestic but also international logistics, is the NEC Express5800/R120g-1E. The server, which stores data with a legally mandated retention period, is out of maintenance, and the manufacturer has provided a quote that is not realistic, leading to a lack of progress in discussions. Therefore, we proposed a "temporary maintenance" solution. After discussing their needs, they decided to contract for maintenance for five years this time. In the case of multi-year contracts, we provide the necessary maintenance parts for the following years in the first year, which allows us to avoid shortages of repair parts during the contract period. The pricing can also be kept lower with a multi-year contract, and for those wishing for long-term maintenance, we recommend contracting for multiple years in advance for cost reduction. ■Challenges - The server for storing data with a legally mandated retention period is out of maintenance, and long-term maintenance from the manufacturer did not fit the budget. ■Results - With "temporary maintenance," the necessary maintenance period can be selected, and long-term maintenance for five years can be accommodated at a reduced cost.

In recent years, extreme weather phenomena such as localized heavy rains caused by linear precipitation zones, unpredictable gusts of wind, and record-breaking heatwaves have been increasing. To ensure safety on-site, there is a demand for more accurate weather forecasts and swift decision-making. There are three main reasons why weather risk management is difficult at construction sites and factories: 1. Information is dispersed. Weather forecasts, wind speeds, heatstroke indices, rainfall... necessary information is spread across multiple systems and apps, making comprehensive decision-making time-consuming. 2. Information sharing is challenging. Only a few people are aware of the weather information, and it does not reach cooperating companies or on-site workers, making it difficult for everyone to have the same understanding in emergencies. 3. Localized forecasting is difficult. General weather forecasts target broad areas, and there are limitations to precise predictions at specific construction sites. This is especially true in mountainous or coastal areas. For future weather measures, "centralized management" and "visualization" will be key. Sysmet Corporation released the comprehensive weather platform ZEROSAI X-AI on February 18, 2026, to address these challenges. For more details, please visit our website or download the PDF.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

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.
