Thank you very much for visiting our company website and catalog, and for your interest in our diesel engine generators. From customer surveys, the most common feedback we received was: - I want to see the actual generators that have been installed. - I want to see them operating under real load. - I want to hear the opinions of companies that have installed them. - I want to see the generators in operation before making a purchase. After all, it’s understandable to feel worried about purchasing a generator without seeing the actual unit first, right? As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing," so we will be holding this tour. It will take place in that area of the Kanto region, where summer temperatures exceed 40°C. We successfully operated our generators this summer as well, so we are confident in handling the heat (sweat). Additionally, it has been confirmed that our generators equipped with the world-leading "Scania engine" are "fuel-efficient." This will surely help reduce daily operating costs. Please note that while we will provide kind and courteous assistance, the meeting and dispersal will be at the site (transportation costs and other expenses will be borne by the customer), so please understand this in advance.

The booth exhibition of Sysmet Co., Ltd. at the 56th Iwasaki Total Solution Fair 2026, held on April 8 (Wednesday) and April 9 (Thursday), has successfully concluded. On the day of the event, members of the technical department involved in meteorological forecasting, equipment development, and fieldwork from our headquarters in Kitakyushu participated to support the booth, which included actual equipment. Many visitors came to the booth, where they asked questions to the meteorologists and inquired about new services such as environmental sensors for noise and vibration, resulting in a great response. On the 8th, we were honored to have the opportunity to give a presentation on "How to View Meteorological Data from a Forecaster's Perspective and an Introduction to AI Wind Forecasting" at the mini stage, led by our meteorologists. Moving forward, we will continue to provide services that contribute to everyone's safety and efficiency, focusing on the theme of "Visible" safety created through the combination of meteorology and technology.
