Announcement of the new release of the Gas Detector Solution Pack to easily and quickly enhance the safety of gas detectors.

TIIS (Intrinsic Safety Explosion-Proof Standard) certified multi-gas detector. Compact, easy to handle, and highly reliable operation. The highest level of protection against dust and water.

In oil refining and chemical synthesis plants, there is a possibility of explosions or fires occurring when flammable gases or vapors from flammable liquids mix with air and come into contact with ignition sources such as electric sparks or high-temperature objects. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the gas conditions safely. Additionally, in such hazardous locations, the measuring instruments used must also have an explosion-proof structure. For this reason, the MicroClip series, which can monitor four types of gases (oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and flammable gases), has been adapted to comply with the intrinsic safety explosion-proof standards in Japan. The MicroClip series, which is the most popular gas detector in the world and has already obtained overseas explosion-proof certifications, is the industry's first multi-gas detector to meet the waterproof standard IP68. It also helps prevent personal accidents due to asphyxiation or poisoning through alarms, ensuring the safety of workers even in the most severe environments.

Protection of workers' lives from remote locations through the incorporation of wireless communication functions.

The "Single Gas Detector (BW Solo Wireless)" not only adopts excellent gas detection technology and a highly operable one-button design, but also adds a "wireless function" that can efficiently and more reliably ensure employee safety. Even in large work areas or when working alone, it is possible to remotely monitor the work location and gas generation situation, and to respond to rescues in the event of a man-down situation. The BW Solo Wireless can be considered a next-generation portable gas detector suitable for the IoT era.

Attractive type 5 compatible with gas components. Its unparalleled protective features make it possible to prevent accidents related to gas safety before they occur.

The "Multi-Gas Detector (BW Ultra)" is a 5-gas detector specifically designed for gas sampling and monitoring before and after entering confined spaces. Even under extreme working conditions, it offers unparalleled sensor technology, visibility of gas readings, peace of mind, and connectivity. It can simultaneously detect four types of gases that need to be monitored in confined spaces. Additionally, it comes with a gas sensor that the user can choose, allowing for a five-tiered protection system when entering confined areas. The Honeywell BW Ultra ensures compliance with all safety regulations by detecting essential gases. Furthermore, users can select a fifth sensor from the gas list to add extra protection during operations.

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.*

We have released a "trial version app (browser version)" that allows you to freely test the "blinking detection technology" developed using joint patent technology with Panasonic, directly in your browser. No application, installation, or membership registration is required. It measures blinking for 30 seconds using your PC's built-in camera or your smartphone's camera, displaying the number of blinks, the rate per minute, the duration of closed eyes (average and longest), and the intervals between blinks in real-time. The camera footage is processed within the browser, and neither the video nor the measurement results are sent externally. Additionally, we have started online sales of the "blinking detection app (Windows version)" that allows unlimited measurements for research and verification purposes. It supports recording and CSV output, with prices set at 33,000 yen for general users and 16,500 yen for academic institutions (tax included, per license, one-time purchase). The camera input version and the file input version are sold separately. For integration into products and services, we also offer the "blinking detection SDK" (with a one-month free trial version available).

We will begin providing a new solution for construction companies, the "Specific Voice Detection Edge AI System," utilizing the development and operational insights from the "Specific Vehicle Detection System" co-developed with Toda Corporation, starting in September 2026. This system applies the technology of the productivity-enhancing AI camera "PROLICA" to pre-learn and analyze specific voice data collected by outdoor microphones, allowing AI to detect target sounds in real-time on-site. By using voice detection, it will be possible to early detect the presence of approaching emergency vehicles even in environments where traditional visual checks or image analysis by AI cameras are difficult due to obstructions like buildings or curves. By linking with various devices and automating the control of construction vehicle departures and alerts to workers, it contributes to improving safety at construction sites and surrounding roads. ■ Main Features of This System 1. High-precision detection using voice AI 2. Safety management independent of visibility 3. Real-time processing with edge AI For more details, please check the linked page.

We will be exhibiting at the "Advanced Construction, Disaster Prevention, and Mitigation Technology Fair in Kumamoto 2026," which will be held for two days from November 18 at Gran Messe Kumamoto (Masaki Town, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture). This exhibition is organized by the organizing committee of the Advanced Construction, Disaster Prevention, and Mitigation Technology Fair in Kumamoto 2026, aiming to enhance disaster prevention awareness through the introduction of advanced technologies and products related to disaster prevention, as well as to promote economic and technological exchanges. On the day of the event, we will showcase the "High Water Content Soil Improvement Agent MT Series" and the "Soil Recycling Technology Bontelan Method," and we will introduce our technologies through demonstrations using actual soil. We invite those nearby to stop by our booth. Venue: Gran Messe Kumamoto (1010 Fukutomi, Masaki Town, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture) Dates: November 18, 2026 (Wednesday) 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM November 19, 2026 (Thursday) 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM Our booth location: B18 Technical Presentation: November 18, 2026 (Wednesday) 1:15 PM - 1:45 PM, Seminar Room 4 Official website of the Advanced Construction, Disaster Prevention, and Mitigation Technology Fair in Kumamoto 2026: https://www.s-kumamoto.jp/

Recently, Intertek Certification AB, the Swedish subsidiary of Intertek, has been accredited by the Swedish national accreditation body Swedac as a verification body for the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). According to Swedac's announcement, this is the first CBAM accreditation for a verification body in Sweden. This accreditation covers six sectors: cement, steel, aluminum, fertilizers, hydrogen, and electricity, and Intertek Certification AB will provide third-party verification services for embedded emissions associated with the manufacturing of CBAM-covered products based on the scope of accreditation. CBAM is a system that reflects the carbon price on greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacturing of certain products imported into the EU, requiring targeted companies to properly calculate and report their greenhouse gas emissions data and comply with third-party verification. Intertek Certification Co., Ltd. supports CBAM compliance in collaboration with accredited entities and global expert teams as the contact point in Japan. If you have any inquiries regarding third-party verification or related services, please feel free to contact us.
