Tunnel lighting of Hoshi and Denki.

LED tunnel lighting (with initial luminous flux correction function) conforms to the LED road and tunnel lighting introduction guidelines (draft) and improves the fixture luminous flux.

The tunnel lighting from Hoshi and Denki adopts long-lasting, high-efficiency white LEDs as the light source, and by incorporating an initial luminous flux correction function, it achieves low maintenance and energy-saving capabilities. ○ It can reduce power consumption and CO2 emissions. ○ Maintenance work that involves traffic regulation can be minimized. Maintenance tasks that require traffic regulation, such as lamp replacement, can be reduced. 1. Long lifespan: 20 years; only one replacement of LED and control device; lifespan of 90,000 hours. The lifespan of the LED module is 90,000 hours, allowing for over 10 years of maintenance-free operation with 24-hour daily lighting. By coordinating the lifespan of the LED module and control device, only one replacement of both will be needed during the 20 years of operation. 2. Lineup: Two types of light distribution and four types of light source capacities. With two types of light distribution and four types of light source capacities, it accommodates a wide range of design speed conditions (40-80 km/h). ■ Ceiling-mounted wide span (CL) …… Two types: LED 50W, 80W ■ Side wall-mounted wide span (BL) …… Four types: LED 40W, 50W, 80W, 100W 3. Supports special dimming: Two-stage dimming capability.

LED tunnel lighting (with initial luminous flux correction function) has been improved to comply with the LED road and tunnel lighting introduction guidelines (draft) and enhance the fixture luminous flux.

LED Tunnel Lighting By adopting long-life, high-efficiency white LEDs as the light source and incorporating an initial luminous flux correction function, we achieve low maintenance and energy-saving features. 1. Long Life: 20 years, with only one replacement of the LED and control device; lifespan of 90,000 hours. The lifespan of the LED module is 90,000 hours, allowing for maintenance-free operation for over 10 years with 24-hour daily use. The control device for the LED module is also designed to have a coordinated lifespan, resulting in only one replacement of the LED module and control device during 20 years of operation. 2.

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.
