[Case Study] Vegetable Factory: High-Frequency and Environmentally Resistant Plug-in Relay
Plugin-type relay RB3P-G30DC
We are using a high-frequency, environmentally resistant, long-lasting, and highly reliable plug-in relay as the air drive source for the vegetable cultivation shelf robot!
Vegetable factories, which are attracting attention for their ability to provide a stable supply of vegetables that are easily affected by weather conditions, are growing salad vegetables such as lettuce. In these factories, our plug-in relays are used as the air drive source for robots that move the vegetables from shelf to shelf according to their growth stages. Due to the high opening and closing frequency of about 3,000 times a day, other companies' relays required replacement every few months, but our Bestact relay, designed to handle high-frequency operations, has been adopted. This has contributed to a reduction in maintenance frequency and costs for our customers. Even in high-humidity and harsh environments, our product is equipped with glass-sealed contacts (Bestact), which provide excellent environmental resistance and reliable contact performance. Bestact features a unique structure that differs from conventional reed switches, resulting in a long-lasting product with superior environmental and vibration resistance.

Company information
For over 40 years, our relays and sensors have been trusted and used in various markets where reliability and safety are essential, such as in Shinkansen (bullet trains) and steel manufacturing. With advantages such as an electrical lifespan that is twice that of standard relays and a failure rate of 1/20 under low loads, we contribute to improving equipment reliability while also reducing running costs by decreasing the frequency of replacements. Leveraging the excellent environmental resistance of our products, they perform well even in harsh conditions, such as in vegetable factories where humidity is present.
