Announcement of the opening of a new HERO Lab. location.

Bringing unprecedented robots into practical use and contributing to solving challenges in extreme environments.

The Extreme Environment Robot Research Institute (HERO Lab) is an organization aimed at the research and development of decommissioning robots that can operate in environments where humans cannot enter, such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Established in 2020, it welcomed Professor Shigeo Hirose, an honorary professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and the first recipient of the Pioneer in Robotics and Automation Award from the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, as its director. We aim to solve significantly difficult and diverse problems that no one in the world has yet found solutions for, contributing to society through creative robot development. *For more details, please check the related links below or contact us.*

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in infection control measures and facility hygiene management. Our company offers non-contact sensor products that are recommended for commercial facilities, food factories, and nursing and caregiving facilities. 【Sensors for Automatic Doors】 ● Light Touch Sensor HA-T401 … When you wave your hand in front of the automatic door, the sensor detects the movement and opens or closes the door. This is recommended for making doors with touch switches non-contact. ● Hand Wave Sensor PF-R5, PF-U2, DHS-1 … Opens and closes the automatic door by waving your hand in front of the sensor. ● Foot Switch PF-01S/01D/03S/05 … Opens and closes the automatic door by placing your foot in the opening. 【Access Control System】 ● Face Recognition + Unmanned Temperature Measurement DS Series … Allows for face recognition along with mask detection and body temperature measurement simultaneously. ● Automatic Disinfectant Spray Dispenser PHW-03B … Automatically sprays disinfectant when you wave your hand in front of the sensor. 【Nursing and Care Sensors】 ● Infrared Bed Exit Sensor "Just Place It Pole-kun" … This bed exit sensor is installed next to the bed and notifies via nurse call when the subject enters the detection range. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, particularly at entrances facing sidewalks or roadways, there is a risk of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "sensor" + "controller" + "switching power supply (24V)" + "LED rotating light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The comprehensive catalog "General Catalog J-02" for the 2023 fiscal year has been completed. This comprehensive catalog features many Joe Prince products primarily used in industrial equipment and facilities. Please make use of it.

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.

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.
