By using a scientific approach, we present analysis results to ensure optimal picking and support rational decision-making.

Location is Everything In the warehouse, the location of products directly affects productivity, worker safety, and order accuracy. Fast-moving items should be placed in the most accessible locations, heavy items should be stored in places that minimize damage, and optimizing the overall storage capacity of the warehouse is also important. Challenges such as similar orders, an increase in the number of SKUs, unstable demand, and responding to short lead-time orders require continuous optimization of warehouse space. In logistics operations that meet the requirements of omnichannel retail, optimizing slotting has become crucial for controlling costs and meeting customer expectations. The Best Approach to Optimization By recommending the best locations for each inventory item, employee labor efficiency improves, order processing cycles can be shortened, and throughput can be maximized. Additionally, strategically grouping items for fulfillment and updating recommended layouts based on trends and demand for new products enhances customer service. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

• Logistics and warehouse management systems

Labor management enhances product throughput, promotes customer service, and supports warehouse efficiency improvement.

High expectations for customer service through omnichannel commerce, fluctuating demand, an increase in the number of SKUs handled, and a reduction in the quantity per order require higher employee productivity and efficiency than before. In today's fast-paced economy, strengthening relationships with workers is essential for success. This allows for cost reduction while driving innovation and increasing productivity and final profit margins. Manhattan's labor management solution is a system designed to bridge the engagement gap with employees by recommending rewards for high performers and providing coaching and training for those who are not meeting their goals. As a result, workforce efficiency can be improved, leading to reduced turnover rates and increased productivity within the warehouse. Additionally, labor management enables managers and supervisors to forecast workloads, track productivity, and calculate incentives. By using this user-friendly mobile solution, supervisors can increase the time spent in the warehouse, engage with their teams, respond in real-time to remove obstacles, address underperforming employees, and ensure that operations run smoothly.

• Inventory Management System

Are you struggling to explain "safety" to the client using just drawings? • The risks in blind spots are difficult to convey to the client through drawings alone. • Safety measures often become a target for cost reduction, making it hard to communicate their necessity. • There is a concern that the client might say, "It's more dangerous than I thought," after completion. Risks that are clear to design professionals are not easily understood intuitively by clients who are outside the field. This document is not just a simple explanation of sensor functions; it is a guide to visually explain "why sensors are necessary in those locations." It can be used directly as explanatory material for clients. Here are three key points for utilizing this document: 1. Visualization of Risks Blind spots during departure and contact risks within the site are illustrated clearly. 2. Clarification of Selection Criteria A comparison table outlines the differences between complex sensor types such as infrared, ultrasonic, and loop coils. 3. Diagram of System Configuration It illustrates not just the sensors alone, but how they are combined with rotating lights and control panels, providing practical assistance for electrical equipment design. Please make use of this to prevent "rework after completion" and "accident risks."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made bed exit sensors wireless, allowing them to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ Bed exit sensors notify wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
