[Invention Grand Prize Winning Product] Preventing line stoppage due to deterioration of motor insulation resistance in advance → Automation of mega testing

It measures high-reliability insulation resistance using the megger method. It automatically monitors the insulation condition of various motors installed in machine tools. This reduces maintenance costs and the burden of maintenance inventory costs, allowing for the prevention of sudden line stoppages in advance. No power outage of equipment is required. Due to the megger method, it can measure high-precision values at a lower cost than the I0r method. Measurements can be taken after the motor has completely stopped, thanks to a delay timer. Alarm output settings can be differentiated from four types of measurement values (selectable from 1MΩ, 5MΩ, 10MΩ, 20MΩ). It is highly versatile and does not depend on the equipment, capacity, or manufacturer. Although it is a high-voltage measurement method, there is no concern about electric shock. It is compatible with equipment that requires safety circuits. By connecting an optional touch panel, detailed settings and history management can be performed.

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.

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.
