Invitation to Exhibit at Techno Frontier 2017

Instantly identify and visualize abnormal sounds. Support system construction from the measurement and verification stage.

Our company offers "IoT / Predictive Maintenance Solutions." We develop and sell sound visualization devices that realize "visualization of sound," instantly identifying the location of abnormal sounds, and provide consulting for building predictive maintenance systems that automatically determine abnormal trends from sensor data using the MT method. The "sound visualization device" enables real-time visualization of sudden sounds with high-speed processing of up to 25fps. Many customers have utilized it after purchase. The "IoT / Predictive Maintenance System Construction Consulting" monitors data such as vibrations and uses the MT method for automatic determination during abnormal trends. For higher-level visualization, remote monitoring, and ticket issuance during anomalies, we adopt Bosch PPM. We build a total system from measurement to automatic determination and visualization. 【Features】 ■ Support for those who do not know where to start, from the verification stage. ■ Verification is possible with only OK data, even without NG data. ■ Total system construction from measurement to higher-level visualization. ◎ For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

A portable sound visualization device for outside, inside vehicles, and within factories.

The traditionally stationary and large equipment has been made compact. A small microphone array is equipped with a small camera, making it portable along with a laptop. The size is compact while maintaining the same functionality. With the handheld/portable visualization device, for example, field tests can be conducted outdoors to measure environmental noise. For instance, it can be brought into a car to test various electronic components, air conditioning, speakers, etc. Additionally, it can be taken into a factory to measure environmental noise from production equipment and for preventive maintenance of production equipment. Being portable allows for use in various situations.

Achieving a minimum resolution of 1 cm. This is a high-resolution version of a sound source visualization device for small devices, which has been difficult until now.

This is a sound source visualization device for small devices that has been difficult to achieve until now. We have designed and manufactured a compact microphone array to more accurately identify the location of sound generation. Despite its small size, it is equipped with a wide-angle camera, allowing for instant identification of sound occurrence locations. Furthermore, like conventional devices, it achieves high-speed processing at 25fps, enabling it to track sudden sounds, movement, and changing sounds. It demonstrates effectiveness for small motors, automotive parts, circuit boards, mobile phones, and other devices where identifying the location of sound generation has been challenging until now. What was previously invisible is now visible. For soundproofing and noise countermeasures, identifying the source of sound is a prerequisite and the most important factor. By visualizing sound, we will solve our customers' challenges.

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.

We will be exhibiting at the only comprehensive and cross-sectional international convention in the marine field in Japan, "Techno-Ocean 2025." In this exhibition, we will introduce a wide range of specialized survey services related to offshore wind power generation projects, including wind and sea condition surveys, O&M, sediment surveys, and fishing ground environmental monitoring. We will also showcase marine surveys and seagrass bed investigations using marine robots such as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and underwater drones, as well as the collection of dead fish in aquaculture operations.

The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."

"Perovskite solar cells" are once again emerging at the center of Japan's renewable energy policy. Mr. Takai has proposed "nurturing domestic technology for renewable energy" as part of energy and industrial policy, causing related stocks to attract attention in the market as the "Takai trade." The background to this is Japan's long-standing dependence on foreign-made panels in its renewable energy structure. While inexpensive imports have supported proliferation, they have also left a "negative legacy" of forest development, disposal risks, and price fluctuations. If this continues, both the land and energy supply will be controlled by foreign entities—this sense of crisis is the trigger for policy change. Perovskite solar cells possess the trifecta of being lightweight, highly efficient, and low-cost, making installation in existing buildings easy. Development is progressing as a domestic technology, and it is expected to become a mainstay for self-consumption power generation in the future. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "next-generation self-consumption solar power system" with an eye on these perovskite cells. With over 8,000 installations nationwide and expertise in subsidy support, they are turning companies' "energy independence" into reality.
