In recent years, with the increasing push for DX (digital transformation) and valuable feedback from all users in the field, we will be fully renewing "Compass PLUS." The new Compass PLUS will leverage its traditional strengths while completely revamping its design, functionality, and usability, thereby further enhancing its value in practical use. The official release is as follows, so please wait a little longer until then. 1) Improved visibility and operability 2) Enhanced intuitiveness 3) Streamlined information sharing These are the main points of improvement, and it will be available starting December 16, 2025. For an overview of the renewal, please download the materials. We are also planning an online briefing session, so please download the materials for more details as well. Renewal date: Tuesday, December 16, 2025 Temporary suspension period: Monday, December 15, 2025, 17:00 – 19:00 *Due to the renewal, data updates for observation devices (wave height, weather, water level, noise and vibration) will be suspended during the temporary suspension period. However, viewing of forecast information and other various information will still be possible as usual.

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in infection control measures and facility hygiene management. Our company offers non-contact sensor products that are recommended for commercial facilities, food factories, and nursing and caregiving facilities. 【Sensors for Automatic Doors】 ● Light Touch Sensor HA-T401 … When you wave your hand in front of the automatic door, the sensor detects the movement and opens or closes the door. This is recommended for making doors with touch switches non-contact. ● Hand Wave Sensor PF-R5, PF-U2, DHS-1 … Opens and closes the automatic door by waving your hand in front of the sensor. ● Foot Switch PF-01S/01D/03S/05 … Opens and closes the automatic door by placing your foot in the opening. 【Access Control System】 ● Face Recognition + Unmanned Temperature Measurement DS Series … Allows for face recognition along with mask detection and body temperature measurement simultaneously. ● Automatic Disinfectant Spray Dispenser PHW-03B … Automatically sprays disinfectant when you wave your hand in front of the sensor. 【Nursing and Care Sensors】 ● Infrared Bed Exit Sensor "Just Place It Pole-kun" … This bed exit sensor is installed next to the bed and notifies via nurse call when the subject enters the detection range. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the only comprehensive and cross-sectional international convention in the marine field in Japan, "Techno-Ocean 2025." In this exhibition, we will introduce a wide range of specialized survey services related to offshore wind power generation projects, including wind and sea condition surveys, O&M, sediment surveys, and fishing ground environmental monitoring. We will also showcase marine surveys and seagrass bed investigations using marine robots such as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and underwater drones, as well as the collection of dead fish in aquaculture operations.

The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."
