Introducing the "Tank Cleaning and Filtration Cleaner" for customers using NC lathes and MC lathes, designed to reduce work burden and achieve efficient cutting fluid management.

Are you facing any of these cleaning issues? - Cleaning tasks are cumbersome and labor-intensive, causing back pain. - Long hours of cleaning lead to unpleasant odors. - Machines have to be stopped during cleaning, reducing productivity. - Accumulation of chips leads to unstable processing accuracy and defective products. Accumulation of chips and sludge can shorten the lifespan of machine tools and increase manufacturing costs. That's where our "Filtration Cleaner" comes in as a solution! The key to the solution is the introduction of a "Filtration Machine"! We have prepared the following two types according to your needs. 1. Large Capacity Open Drum Type (APDQO-F Series) This model is compatible with 200L or 100L open drums. - Reuse of cutting fluid: Efficiently reuse by filtering chips. - Improved cleaning efficiency: Significantly reduce work time. - Versatile application: Can also filter liquids other than those from machine tools. - Thorough management: Completely drain liquids to keep the tank clean. 2. Compact Circulation Type (J-F Series) This model is suitable for work in narrow spaces. - Maintain production efficiency: Work can be done without stopping the machine. - Space-saving design: Easy to install even in tight areas. - Continuous maintenance: Regular filtration keeps cutting fluid clean at all times.

We have released an introduction document for our cloud management system "Loglass." This document clearly presents the features and usage images of "Loglass," which streamlines management tasks such as budget formulation, performance management, forecast updates, and management accounting. Loglass centralizes data scattered across various systems and spreadsheets, reducing the effort required for collection, aggregation, and analysis, thereby supporting quicker and more accurate management decisions. Additionally, it helps address challenges such as the personalization of management tasks and increased workload through automation of data aggregation, history management, and real-time analysis functions. The document also includes actual implementation examples and the effects of implementation, showcasing results such as reduced workload, enhanced analysis capabilities, and improved decision-making speed. Companies considering promoting DX in management or reviewing operations centered around Excel and spreadsheets are encouraged to take a look.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. We have many implementation examples available, so please take a look at the case study page.

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.

Caught up in daily data entry, approvals, and inquiries, I want to improve but can't find the time to consider it. Such voices from the field are not uncommon. Even though it's clear that systemization is necessary, the reality is that people often get stuck on where to start and which products to choose. Common frustrations include "I spent time requesting materials and demos, but I'm not sure if it fits my company," and "After implementation, the inquiry contacts are scattered among different manufacturers, making it hard to connect quickly when issues arise." This moves us further away from the original goals of efficiency and reducing dependency on individuals. This is where the option of "agent implementation" comes into focus. Agents that handle products from multiple manufacturers have the advantage of providing unbiased comparisons and neutral proposals without favoring specific products. Even within the same category of systems, they can present the pros and cons side by side for a balanced evaluation. There is also a common misconception regarding pricing; in most cases, there is little to no price difference between direct sales from manufacturers and agents.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
