New product information: A new modular type of self-locking rack jack has been introduced, featuring a rack movement of 17 mm per one rotation of the input shaft.

This is a reduction device with a new self-locking mechanism (Shoji Lock) that replaces worm gear reducers. It includes a lineup of reduction gears, rack jacks, and winches.

Compared to conventional worm gear reducers, our compact design and high efficiency have received positive feedback. However, we also hear many voices expressing resistance or anxiety towards new products, as well as those who prefer to stick with traditional options. We encourage both those who are hesitant and those who love new things to take a look at our case studies and consider them. Conversely, we welcome valuable suggestions on potential applications as well!

A jack that can lift a load of 50 kN with a light manual operating force (input shaft torque of approximately 11 Nm). It is an applied product of the new self-locking mechanism (Shoji Lock).

This is a jack developed for component maintenance. It is a manual jack equipped with a high-efficiency self-locking mechanism using spur gears, featuring the Shoji lock. The main body weighs 36 kg and is made of aluminum, designed with a focus on lightweight and manual operability. There are two input shafts (high/low), allowing for easy switching between quickly turning the handle when there is no load and applying force when there is a load, simply by changing the insertion of the handle. It can be widely used in places without power, as well as for disaster preparedness and energy-saving measures. It can also be used electrically.

• Small baggage lift

Compared to screw jacks, this is a hybrid type that allows for high speed and high efficiency, can be operated with commercially available electric tools, and can also be operated manually by attaching a handle.

Unlike conventional screw jacks, this rack-type jack features an overwhelmingly fast rise and fall speed due to its high efficiency, making it easy to operate. Therefore, it can be operated quickly with general electric tools (drivers/drills). It also comes equipped with a unique self-locking mechanism, allowing it to hold loads without brakes or stoppers, making it a revolutionary jack. Moreover, it is designed to be lightweight and compact while excelling in strength and durability. Additionally, it employs an omnidirectional actuator that can accommodate upward, downward, and lateral movements. It is also suitable for rack-type electric cylinders. This model has a rated thrust load of 100 kgf. *For more details, please visit the official website or feel free to contact us.*

Unlike conventional screw jacks, this rack-type jack features an overwhelmingly fast rise and fall speed due to its high efficiency, making it easy to operate. As a result, it can be operated quickly with common electric tools (drivers/drills). Equipped with a unique self-locking mechanism, this revolutionary jack can hold loads without brakes or stoppers. It is not only strong and durable but also designed to be lightweight and compact. Additionally, it employs an omnidirectional actuator that can accommodate upward, downward, and lateral movements. It is also ideal for rack-type electric cylinders, with a rated thrust load of 200 kgf and a reduction ratio of 63. *For more details, please visit our official website or feel free to contact us.

"Somewhat inconvenient" can quickly transform into "cost" and "risk" due to an increase in the number of employees or an expansion of business scope. What we are introducing this time is the process of a home care industry company with around 700 employees verbalizing their frustrations regarding payroll operations and considering the optimal system configuration. When we verbalize "somewhat inconvenient"... 1) The support quality of the payroll system being used is poor, causing significant stress. 2) The number of employees has been on the rise in recent years, raising concerns about running costs due to the pay-per-use system. 3) Macros are being used for data integration with a separate system. 4) We want to make backend processes like payroll payment reports easier.

We have released an introduction document for our cloud management system "Loglass." This document clearly presents the features and usage images of "Loglass," which streamlines management tasks such as budget formulation, performance management, forecast updates, and management accounting. Loglass centralizes data scattered across various systems and spreadsheets, reducing the effort required for collection, aggregation, and analysis, thereby supporting quicker and more accurate management decisions. Additionally, it helps address challenges such as the personalization of management tasks and increased workload through automation of data aggregation, history management, and real-time analysis functions. The document also includes actual implementation examples and the effects of implementation, showcasing results such as reduced workload, enhanced analysis capabilities, and improved decision-making speed. Companies considering promoting DX in management or reviewing operations centered around Excel and spreadsheets are encouraged to take a look.

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.

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.

Caught up in daily data entry, approvals, and inquiries, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. Such voices from the field are not uncommon. Even though it's clear that systemization is necessary, the reality is that people often get stuck on where to start and which products to choose. Common frustrations include "I spent time requesting materials and demos, but I'm not sure if it fits my company," and "After implementation, the inquiry contacts are scattered among different manufacturers, making it hard to connect quickly when issues arise." This moves us further away from the original goals of efficiency and reducing dependency on individuals. This is where the option of "agent implementation" comes into focus. Agents that handle products from multiple manufacturers have the advantage of providing unbiased comparisons and neutral proposals without favoring specific products. Even within the same category of systems, they can present the pros and cons side by side for a balanced evaluation. There is also a common misconception regarding pricing; in most cases, there is little to no price difference between direct sales from manufacturers and agents.
