Interview article featuring CAD for building equipment, Taisei Corporation.

Realizing comfortable architectural equipment design work in a .dwg environment.

Our company develops and sells architectural equipment CAD that operates on three products: AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ARES, which are .dwg compatible CAD software. It is equipped with efficient equipment layout functions, routing drawing functions for conduits, wiring, ducts, and piping, as well as material aggregation functions. We have eliminated complex operations and achieved a unified, simple operation, allowing you to create drawings and aggregation tables with minimal training. Our product lineup includes three products: "Brain Gear Supra" based on AutoCAD, "MEP Designer PRO" based on BricsCAD, and "ARCADE NEO" based on ARES. All three products are 100% .dwg compatible, and the compatibility of attribute information between each product is also 100%. Our company is committed to releasing architectural equipment CAD that corresponds to the major version upgrades of the base CAD software, AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ARES, every year.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at Idemitsu Plant Tech Chiba Co., Ltd. ~ In the case of Idemitsu Plant Tech Chiba ~ Before the introduction, there was a challenge to reduce the time spent on circulating and storing paper documents, as well as the approval process (including rejections). The decision to implement "Rakuraku Seisan" was made considering its proven track record in group companies and the cost benefits it offers. With the system in place, manual errors in data entry and accounting software have clearly decreased. The payment process for invoices used to take a total of 7 hours per month, but it can now be completed in just 4 hours. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before implementation - Reduce the time spent on circulating and storing paper documents, as well as the approval process (including rejections). ■ Key points of implementation - Peace of mind due to proven track record in group companies. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

~As an environmentally friendly material contributing to the decarbonization of construction sites and Scope 3 reduction~ KAWASAKI Corporation has obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for our resin formwork "Daiko Panel," which we manufacture and sell. With this acquisition, the environmental impact (such as CO2 emissions) from raw material procurement to the manufacturing process has been objectively quantified and verified based on international standards (ISO 14025, EN 15804+A2). In the construction industry, visualizing and reducing CO2 emissions (Scope 3) during material procurement has become urgent. The "Daiko Panel" has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional formwork and is a reusable circular material. With this EPD acquisition, you can utilize substantiated numerical data for selecting materials for your environmentally conscious construction projects and for obtaining environmental certifications such as ZEB/ZEH. We will continue to strongly support the labor-saving and decarbonization efforts at construction sites. [Contact Information] KAWASAKI Corporation / General Incorporated Association Daiko no Kai

Hakusan Industrial Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fuchu City, Tokyo, President: Minoru Yoshida) has announced that its free seismic measurement app "iJishin" has surpassed a total of 200,000 downloads. To commemorate this milestone, the app will undergo a complete renewal and will be available starting July 17, 2026. * "iJishin" is a free seismic measurement app jointly developed by Hakusan Industrial Co., Ltd. and the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).

Caught up in daily input, approval, and checks, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. In back offices, which tend to fall into such a "negative loop," it's understood that system implementation can be a breakthrough, but the burden of the implementation itself is often significant, leading to new sources of concern. During the consideration phase, it takes time to request materials and compare demos, and even if the differences are clear, there is no certainty about whether it will fit the company. After implementation, issues often arise in operations, such as not being able to connect to support or having multiple inquiry points that cause confusion. Therefore, while organizing common failure cases, we have summarized key points for practical staff to proceed with a selection that is "smooth," "thorough," and "without regret." Common failure case 1: The purpose is vague, and "systematization" becomes the goal. Common failure case 2: It does not match the company's operations. Common failure case 3: Realizing it is "difficult" after starting to use it. Common failure case 4: Total costs balloon. You can read more without needing to input personal information.

Hotron's vehicle detection sensors allow you to search for products that meet your needs from three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." The sensors detect the passage of vehicles and notify you with a rotating light, or switch the display of parking availability. They manage vehicle presence, full parking, and exit warnings in parking lots, contributing to safe driving and smooth operational management within the parking area. They are used in various settings, from coin-operated parking to large-scale parking lots.
