<Media Information> An article titled "Proving 100 Years of Durability" has been published in Bridge Communication.

A bridge expansion device proven to last 100 years! No replacement needed for new bridges for 100 years! Long-term water-tightness, maintenance-free [NEXCO specification compliant product].

The Hybrid Joint 3LII type has a vertical integrated structure of the load support plate and anchor plate, making it highly durable and preventing damage from metal fatigue. Its durability is equivalent to an ultra-long term of 100 years! It has been proven through fatigue loading tests conducted by a third-party organization, clearing the equivalent of 12 million cycles, which corresponds to 100 years. This assumes that a 25-ton large vehicle has traveled over the 3LII type 12 million times, equating to a 100-year durability. The standard design supply period for bridges is 100 years. For newly constructed bridges, there is no need to replace the expansion device for 100 years. The 3LII type is maintenance-free, eliminating the need for sound inspection that requires traffic regulation, leading to reduced maintenance costs and improved safety. It is a product capable of accommodating large expansion ranges (150-350mm) and wide gaps (up to 730mm), making it one of the largest among expansion devices that have passed NEXCO standards. It has been widely adopted on highways nationwide as a product that meets NEXCO specifications. For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

By shaping the steel plate into a guide plate type, it prevents damage to the main body of the grader due to expansion and contraction in snowy areas.

The Hybrid Joint 3LIIA type has a vertical integrated structure for the load support and anchor plate sections, making it highly durable with almost no damage from metal fatigue. By using steel plates vertically, the exposed areas are minimized, resulting in very low impact during operation and making the product less prone to noise and vibration. It is capable of accommodating large expansion and contraction (200–600mm) and wide gaps (up to 1230mm). 【Features】 ○ Supports large expansion and contraction and wide gaps ○ High watertightness due to double sealing structure ○ Long-term durability and maintenance-free For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

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.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8

Breaking News At an international ceremony held in New York and hosted by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), our CEO, Shibata, has received the “Next Era Fintech Platform Award.” ▼ Read the announcement https://kortvaluta.com/news/wsj-nextera-fintechplatformaward/ More updates, including highlights from the event, will be shared soon.

At a girls' bar in Kanagawa Prefecture that will be reopening in May, we are introducing "Majesta Fragrance" at this important timing to create a fragrant atmosphere in the store. The moment you step inside, a luxurious scent gently spreads, creating a special space that appeals not only to the visual senses but also to the sense of smell. Majesta Fragrance also offers free trial installations. You can consider the introduction after confirming the actual scent spread and customer reactions, so please feel free to contact us.

We have introduced the Majesta Fragrance commercial aroma diffuser rental service at a cabaret club in Kanagawa Prefecture. It suppresses the odors of tobacco and alcohol, creating a high-quality and memorable space through the power of fragrance. Scent branding can also serve as a "fragrance strategy that generates repeat customers." The "scent production," which differentiates you from other establishments, is currently available for a free trial installation. If you are interested in scent production for your store or office, please feel free to contact us.
