[Case Study] Introduction of the non-contact switch "PF-R5" in medical facilities. The direction of hand placement can be changed, allowing for usage that suits the situation.

"Non-contact switch series" that allows you to open and close doors simply by waving your hand without directly touching the doorknob or switch.

The "hand wave sensor" allows you to open and close doors simply by waving your hand, making it hygienic! This non-touch sensor enables you to wave your hand without touching the main unit in places where hygiene is a priority. Unlike regular touch switches, there is no worry about battery depletion. By adjusting the sensitivity, you can fine-tune the detection range to suit the specific environment. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is important, such as food factories, medical facilities, and restaurant kitchens. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission as doors can be opened and closed without contact. ○ A wide variety of options available based on application and location. ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories and medical facilities. ○ Switch mechanism prevents unnecessary detection. 【Recommended for the following locations】 - Factory facilities: Used in food processing factories' ingredient storage rooms. - Dining facilities: Used in kitchens of hotels and restaurants. - Care facilities and medical institutions: Used in automatic doors of care facilities, operating rooms in hospitals and medical institutions. - Environmental facilities: Used in clean rooms of environmental facilities. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

It's hygienic because you can open and close the door just by waving your hand without directly touching the doorknob or switch!

The "Exposed Waterproof Non-Contact Beam Switch for Automatic Doors PF-R5" is a hand-sensor that easily adjusts fine angle settings, and opens and closes the door when the beam of the built-in switch is obstructed. It is suitable for hygienic environments such as food factories, medical facilities, and restaurant kitchen entrances. 【Features】 - Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact - Three patterns of beam switches: front, downward, and left/right - Waterproof and dustproof (IP55 design) - Arrow mark indicates where to wave your hand - Can be mounted on a power switch box For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

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.
