We have added a special page featuring stainless steel tools that are chemical-resistant, highly durable, and hygienic【ESCO Selected】!!

Stainless steel tools with properties that resist rust. They are recommended as maintenance tools in environments where rust, dirt, and plating peeling are undesirable, such as in food and precision equipment.

■Guarded by an Oxide Film! Stainless Tools "Stainless" is a term that combines "Stain" (rust) and "Less" (less), and its greatest feature is that it is literally "rust-resistant" without the need for painting or plating. Stainless steel forms an extremely thin oxide film, and this protective film covers the entire surface, guarding against rust and dirt. Thanks to this film, which regenerates quickly even when scratched, it is less prone to deterioration and has high strength. It is preferred in environments that dislike rust, dirt, and peeling plating, such as sites where tools are prone to rust from seawater or wastewater. It is also effective for preventing "rust transfer" when tightening stainless steel bolts and nuts! <Main Uses> Food machinery, medical and hygiene equipment, maintenance of precision machinery Sewage and waterworks construction and maintenance, maintenance of cleaning equipment Maintenance of equipment and devices for ships and marine development, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Purchases are also possible through the "Esco Online Shop" aimed at corporate users.

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.
