PDC E Lightning Rod vs. Standard Lightning Rod [PDC E News No. 6 May 2018 Announcement]

Preventing lightning damage in advance with a "lightning prevention mechanism" that differs from conventional lightning rods. Compliant with JIS A 4201/JIS Z 9290. *Case study collection available.

We are currently offering "manga" and "case materials" that introduce the benefits of the PDCE lightning ball! Please check them out from the <download> link. Conventional lightning rods attract lightning, which poses a risk of equipment failure due to lightning currents flowing through buildings. Our "PDCE lightning ball" is a lightning rod with a reverse-thinking mechanism designed to "avoid lightning strikes themselves." It gathers the same charge as lightning at the top of the lightning rod, preventing the generation of "welcoming discharges" that would attract lightning, thus avoiding strikes. 【Over 100 units used in the Tokyo Olympics - More than 4,000 units nationwide】 Used by major railways, highways, the Self-Defense Forces, chemical complexes, data centers, broadcasting stations, mobile base stations, renewable energy power plants, fire stations, disaster prevention facilities, outdoor sports facilities, golf courses, temples and shrines, schools, outdoor live venues, outdoor digital signage, condominiums, single-family homes, and more. 【Features of the PDCE lightning ball】 ■ Can be used as a "receiving part" under the Building Standards Act ■ Can be installed by replacing conventional pointed lightning rods with PDCE lightning balls ■ Domestic dedicated factory - Quick response to options based on needs ■ If damaged by a direct lightning strike, free replacement for up to 10 years from installation.

Introducing a video of the installation of a lightning rod for lightning strike suppression on a deep Earth exploration vessel!

We have delivered lightning protection rods for lightning suppression to the deep-sea exploration vessel "Chikyu," owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. The PDCE lightning rod, installed on a 120m tall derrick, forms a barrier that completely covers the vessel (length 210m), preventing lightning strikes within its range. This ensures that "Chikyu" is always protected from lightning strikes, no matter where it conducts research on Earth. [Installation Example] ■ Deep-sea exploration vessel "Chikyu" ■ Delivered lightning protection rods ■ Installed on a 120m tall derrick *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

An article has been published regarding the case of introducing the attendance management system "KING OF TIME" to G.C. Planning Co., Ltd. ~ In the case of G.C. Planning ~ The previous attendance management system had the challenge of making it difficult to check attendance in compliance with laws and regulations. The decision to implement was based on top-class implementation achievements and the unique support system of the agency, i Business Partners. Although there were moments that felt challenging during the implementation and operation, we resolved each issue by consulting with the sales representatives of iBP. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before implementation - The previous attendance management system made it difficult to check attendance in compliance with laws and regulations. ■ Key points of implementation - Top-class implementation achievements and the unique support system of the agency, i Business Partners. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

"Somehow inconvenient" can turn into "accident risk" if left unattended, rather than just being a "hassle." Especially since personnel information serves as the starting point for many operations such as payroll, social insurance, and various allowances, if the freshness and consistency of the information deteriorate, the interactions with stakeholders can increase dramatically. What we are introducing this time is the process of articulating and organizing the "vague discomfort" that a medical equipment handling company with around 200 employees was experiencing as an issue. When we articulate "somehow inconvenient"... 1) It is a hassle to communicate with the payroll BPO when there are changes to personnel information. 2) Changes submitted by employees are in Excel, requiring re-entry. 3) Employees do not submit information in the correct format. 4) The person in charge leaves before becoming fully familiar with the operations. Information from iBP In response to such situations, the first step we took was traffic organization (issue clarification). You can read the continuation without needing to input personal information. Please visit the iBusiness Partners column page! https://ibp-column.sfsite.me/35402

How are you addressing "sweat odor management" and "creating an atmosphere" in your gym? The "scent" you experience the moment you step inside greatly influences the gym's first impression. With the commercial diffuser rental service 'MajestaFragrance', you can create a high-quality and clean atmosphere within your gym. Three benefits of introducing scent in your gym: - Comfortably covers unpleasant odors: Reduces sweat smell and maintains a clean impression. - Motivation & relaxation effects: Enhances members' concentration and contributes to increased satisfaction. - Differentiation from other gyms: The experience of "being comfortable" and "having a pleasant scent" improves word-of-mouth and repeat rates. MajestaFragrance's compact and sophisticated design of commercial diffusers can be installed even in limited spaces. Why not try "scent creation" with a free trial installation?

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when leaving the parking lot in my car..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Departure Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel including the controller and switching power supply (24V) is required when using the departure warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
