We have released the ZEROSAI X-AI Heat Stroke Prevention Collection for civil engineering and construction.

We have compiled a document on heatstroke prevention measures that can be implemented with ZEROSAI X-AI.

From June 2025, measures against heatstroke in the workplace have become mandatory. Additionally, in December 2026, a "Support Package for Heatwave Measures in Construction Work" was formulated, and particularly for those engaged in the construction industry, heatstroke prevention during the summer is currently a pressing issue. We provide a collection of heatstroke prevention materials available through ZEROSAI X-AI, a comprehensive weather platform by the private weather company Sysmet. Examples of heatstroke prevention measures possible with ZEROSAI X-AI: - Cloud management of heatstroke information - Forecasting of the heat index (WBGT) tailored to the site with a 500m mesh up to 17 days in advance - Measurement of the heat index (WBGT) in accordance with JIS standards using a black globe thermometer - Alerts for exceeding the work standard value for the heat index (WBGT) via electronic display boards, emails, and business chats like direct LINE WORKS For more details, please refer to the materials.

Heatstroke prevention: centralized management of weather information forecasting, observation, and alerts; natural disaster prevention system; ZEROSAI option.

Due to the mandatory implementation of heatstroke prevention measures in the workplace, we have seen an increase in inquiries related to heatstroke at our company. Among these, we have received many requests to "measure the heat index (WBGT) in accordance with JIS standards." To conclude, the observation of the heat index (WBGT) in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards JIS Z 8504 can be achieved using the black globe thermometer from the Natural Disaster Prevention System ZEROSAI. ■ Real-time heat index (WBGT) management in the cloud, combined with pinpoint weather forecasts ■ Notifications via electronic bulletin boards or business chat when threshold values are exceeded (LINEWORKS, direct, Wowtalk, Microsoft Teams) ■ Centralized management of various observation devices, including wind speed, rainfall, water level, noise, and vibration information ■ API integration available *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI

This time, I would like to talk a little about current measurement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors (including power devices and power modules).

From measurement instruments to point cloud processing and analysis software, the latest solutions come together! We propose numerous cutting-edge technologies and products that solve on-site challenges in a one-stop manner. It's not just about seeing; it's about experiencing, consulting, and bringing it back to the field. At the venue, we will showcase the latest measurement instruments and solutions, including 3D laser scanners, handheld 3D scanners, LiDAR drones, and 3DGS (Gaussian Splatting). Additionally, we will announce surprise new products!

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
