• Monitoring and Control Equipment
• Security cameras and surveillance systems
• Vibration and Sound Level Meter

Supports IoT integration for machinery! Portable bearing condition monitoring sensor. *Rental service is also available.

The "SKF Quick Collect Sensor" is a device that measures the vibration velocity, acceleration envelope, and temperature of bearings. □ It is a portable sensor that allows administrators to share information by connecting with apps on tablets, smartphones, or smartwatches. □ By monitoring bearings, it enables the creation of maintenance plans for bearings, including preventive diagnostics, eliminating sudden downtime. □ The condition of the bearings is indicated in three colors: green, yellow, and red, making it easy for everyone to understand the status of the bearings. □ The communication method is Bluetooth, and no internet connection is required. (An internet connection is necessary when transferring data from smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches.) 【Features】 ■ Quick startup ■ Easy for everyone to use ■ Pre-identification of issues in rotating machinery ■ Ability to directly consult experts as needed ■ Functionality expansion through the app to develop and complement existing maintenance programs *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Vibration and Sound Level Meter

Despite being pocket-sized, it can measure vibration and temperature simultaneously! Even those without expertise can quantitatively grasp the condition of the machine and the state of bearing damage!

The "CMAS 100-SL" is an SKF machine condition advisor that allows beginners to quickly, easily, and accurately check the condition of rotating machinery. By using this robust, ergonomically designed, pocket-sized device, maintenance and operational personnel can detect potential signs of failure before significant breakdowns occur. 【Features】 ■ Quick and easy setup and use ■ Measurement values are displayed on a bright screen that is visible in dark places and direct sunlight ■ Lightweight, compact, and ergonomic design ■ Excellent durability with a splash-proof level of IP 54 for use in harsh environments ■ Improved diagnostic reliability with easy-to-understand warnings and hazard indicators for beginners ■ Simultaneous measurement of three indicators in one device: bearing condition assessment using SKF's unique envelope acceleration, machine condition assessment using vibration velocity, and infrared thermometer ■ Pocket-sized for easy portability *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Demo units available for free loan] A new generation automatic lubrication system that allows remote operation and condition monitoring of lubrication via smartphone. It streamlines maintenance by visualizing lubrication status.

The Pulsar Lub BT type is an automatic lubricator that supports smart technology for remote operation and monitoring of lubrication tasks via a smartphone. It operates on batteries, eliminating the need for wiring, and automates lubrication with low cost, safety, and high efficiency, allowing information to be shared with relevant parties. By downloading a dedicated app on a smartphone or tablet, users can manage and operate the automatic lubrication system collectively. In addition to checking the remaining amount of lubricant, the next scheduled replacement date, and information on issues (such as grease not being dispensed, grease running out, or battery depletion), users can also remotely change the amount of grease dispensed and force a discharge in emergencies. The information collected from the device can be downloaded to a PC through a dedicated cloud page for the automatic lubricator, and there is a convenient feature for creating a bearing list. Demo units are also available for loan! *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) method allows for clean lubrication with minimal oil. It can be fixed with magnets, so installation work is not required.

The SKF Vector Mist Spray Oil Lubricator (VE1B unit) is a lubrication device for MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) that can mist the oil and spray it for lubrication. The main unit can be installed without restrictions on location by using magnets for fixation, allowing for low-cost labor-saving operations. With a wide range of optional components, it is possible to choose large-capacity reservoirs, nozzle diameters, and hoses, covering everything from large volumes to minimal spray lubrication.

We are pleased to announce that Gywood has been recommended as a featured building material in the special project "Recommended Building Materials" at the Housing Business Fair within the comprehensive exhibition for housing, architecture, and real estate [BREX Kansai]. We will be exhibiting in the "Recommended Building Materials and Equipment" zone, where professionals from the field gather to showcase their recommended materials. We invite everyone to stop by and visit us.

Seminar Overview As the labor shortage in manufacturing sites becomes more severe, the labor costs and time losses associated with the "transportation" of products and components, as well as "cleaning" within factories, have become critical management issues that cannot be overlooked. In this webinar, we will introduce the latest use cases of "Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)" and "Commercial Cleaning Robots" that achieve productivity improvements in manufacturing environments. We will specifically address questions such as "How are other companies operating these technologies?" and "What kind of cost reduction effects can be expected after implementation?" by providing concrete explanations of actual before-and-after scenarios and operational flows. Factory managers and members of production technology and DX promotion departments who want to advance automation and efficiency on-site are encouraged to participate! Recommended for: - Those who are unsure about where to start with automation, labor reduction, and DX in their factories. - Those who want to alleviate labor shortages on-site and focus resources on core operations to improve productivity. - Those who want to stay updated on the latest trends in the use of transportation robots (AMR) and cleaning robots.

Our representative, Koichi Yokoyama, will be speaking at an online seminar scheduled for November 27 (Friday). Participation is possible from anywhere in the country. We hope you will join us! 【Event Overview】 Date: November 27, 2026 (Friday) 13:00 - 15:05 (Deadline: November 25, 17:00) Venue: Online (Zoom) / Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required, lottery system) Organizer: Otsuka Shokai Co., Ltd. 【Session Details (14:05 - 14:35)】 "What Does Reliable Data Creation Mean? - Insights from Certified Public Accountants and Tax Accountants on Creating Trustworthy Data Before Relying on AI" We will discuss the quality and reliability of data that influences AI outcomes, covering points such as "Considerations for Practicing DX" and "Data Integrity and Authenticity" from the perspectives of certified public accountants and tax accountants, to lay the groundwork for safely utilizing AI. *Applications from competitors or similar industries may be declined. *Inquiries: Otsuka Shokai Co., Ltd.
