The compact and lightweight LED tunnel lighting fixtures from Hoshi and Denki have been selected as a useful technology under NETIS's "Promotional Utilization Technology."

Technologies registered in the New Technology Information System (NETIS) have adopted both the direct current power supply method (CG-170008) and (TH-15008).

The newly developed tunnel LED lighting system, the first of its kind in Japan, has achieved miniaturization and weight reduction of the lighting fixtures by installing the power supply unit inside the electrical room and supplying power to the fixtures in the tunnel with direct current. Conventional products had the power supply unit within the fixture itself, but this product does not have a power supply unit inside the fixture, allowing for miniaturization and significantly reducing installation work. Additionally, by consolidating the power supply unit in the electrical room, maintenance has been simplified. The direct current-powered tunnel LED lighting system makes the lighting fixtures ultra-compact and lightweight, reducing construction costs by using connector-type power wiring, and improving maintenance ease and safety by placing the power supply unit in the electrical room. The direct current-powered tunnel LED lighting incorporates technologies registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's New Technology Information System (NETIS) (CG-170008) and the technology for compact and lightweight LED tunnel lighting fixtures (TH-150008). Recently, we supplied the tunnel LED lighting system for the Kyuuzan Tunnel (downhill L=1,704m) on National Route 185, under the jurisdiction of the Hiroshima National Highway Office of the Chugoku Regional Development Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

• Fluorescent Light Type

We have delivered sign lighting using tunnel lighting fixtures, the first of its kind in Japan, to the Shin-Meishin Expressway (from Takatsuki JCT/IC to Kobe JCT).

Sign lighting refers to tunnel lighting that glows white, which flashes red during a vehicle fire, and flashes yellow in the event of abnormalities such as accidents, falling objects, or broken-down vehicles, alerting drivers. This allows drivers to drive with peace of mind.

• Fluorescent Light Type

We have delivered the first-ever tunnel lighting fixtures using pacemaker lights on the Shin-Meishin Expressway (Takatsuki JCT/IC to Kobe JCT) in Japan.

The Pace Maker Light is a tunnel lighting system that shines white and has green lights illuminating in the direction of travel, creating a flow of light that drivers feel compelled to match in speed, helping to restore speed and alleviate traffic congestion. Conversely, when drivers exceed the green light, the Pace Maker Light serves as a technology that assists in speed regulation.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On June 4, 2026, we published a page titled "Do We Set 'Forecasts' Too Optimistically Compared to Reality? The 'Planning Fallacy'." The 'Planning Fallacy' refers to the psychological phenomenon of underestimating the time, costs, and risks involved in carrying out tasks while overestimating the benefits. The page explains examples of its occurrence, the factors that lead to it, and methods to overcome it. (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is the 'Planning Fallacy'? ■ Examples of the 'Planning Fallacy' ■ Why does the 'Planning Fallacy' occur? ■ How to overcome the 'Planning Fallacy'?

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
