【Maintenance of functions for apartments and offices / BCP measures】Industrial storage battery system

This is a large-capacity industrial storage battery with a three-phase connection, output of 30kW, and 73.7kWh, ensuring a reliable power supply even during prolonged power outages!

In order to promptly execute the BCP during a disaster, it is necessary to secure a minimum level of infrastructure. Connex Systems' industrial storage system can be used for power equipment such as water supply pumps with a three-phase, three-wire output of 30kW. By incorporating a transformer, it can also support single-phase devices like lighting, televisions, and air conditioning, making it possible to back up commercial refrigerators and industrial pumps. Additionally, with a large capacity of 73.7kWh, this storage system/battery can reliably supply power even during prolonged outages. [Installation Locations] ■ Apartments and Offices Power outages that may occur due to disasters can also lead to simultaneous water supply interruptions in apartments. This is because electric pumps are used to send water to the upper floors. Such systems are widely used in various facilities, from buildings and hotels to food factories, and can be considered one of the critical devices that would cause trouble if they stop during a disaster. Connex Systems' industrial storage battery can supply electricity to three-phase power sources with an output of 30kW, allowing for the backup of three-phase devices such as electric pumps. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Truck berth vehicle detection

It's not too late to address the "2024 Problem." Why not immediately reduce drivers' waiting times?

  • NEW
  • PRODUCT

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? The management of drivers' working hours is becoming stricter, and in the logistics field, reducing "waiting time for loading" has become an urgent issue. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability status, reducing unnecessary waiting and queuing, and shortening waiting times, thereby alleviating the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start taking measures against the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult us first.
