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.

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.

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.*

In the manufacturing of lighting poles, "deburring" is an important process that supports the safety and durability of the product. Burrs are small protrusions or sharp edges that occur when metal is cut, drilled, or welded. If burrs remain, they can lead to injuries for workers and users, as well as damage the insulation of wiring running through the pole, potentially causing electrical issues. Additionally, burrs can make it difficult for paint to adhere, leading to peeling and corrosion. They can also prevent parts from fitting together properly, resulting in extra labor during assembly and installation, which affects the quality and workability of the product. To finish properly, it is essential to differentiate between machine processing and manual work according to the material, thickness, and shape of the parts, such as stainless steel, aluminum, and steel. Even fine details that are difficult to process with machines are carefully finished by workers. Why does seemingly inconspicuous deburring influence the safety, lifespan, and aesthetic quality of lighting poles? Kandai Industry's website provides detailed explanations of the problems caused by burrs and the appropriate deburring methods based on materials and shapes.
