＼Good morning, Built♪／ I’m Tamura from Chuo Built Industry, a temporary equipment manufacturer. Lately, there have been many rainy days, which tends to bring a gloomy mood. Especially when it rains from Monday, it really brings down the spirits, doesn’t it? But rain is amazing. I grow vegetables at home, and plants actually grow better when they experience a cycle of rain and sunshine rather than just sunny days. Humans are the same. While excessive stress is not good, moderate stress can lead to personal growth. So for me, days when nothing seems to go right are just a source of pleasure! Now that the atmosphere has warmed up, I have an important announcement. Actually, this will be the final episode of "Good Morning, Built" that I will be delivering. Thank you for subscribing for such a long time and for all the feedback and comments. Currently, there is no successor, but eventually, someone will take over "Good Morning, Built." *For more details, please check the link below.

＼Good morning, Built♪／ This is Tamura from Chuo Built Industry, a temporary equipment manufacturer (^_-)-☆ We welcomed one of the 24 solar terms, "Usui" (Rain Water), on February 19. "Usui" refers to the time when falling snow turns into rain and the melting of snow begins, and it has traditionally been seen as a marker for the start of farming. It feels like winter is finally coming to an end and spring is on the way. People often say that the darkest hour is just before dawn, but I find that saying sounds more like a mere encouragement to myself, so I don't particularly like it. If it's dark, we can just turn on the lights, or better yet, let's light it up with flashy decorations (*''ω''*) Instead of being pessimistic and dissatisfied with the current environment, I believe it's important to think about what we can do in this situation, what we can achieve, and how we can enjoy it. Recently, there have been many warm days. Spring is already just around the corner♪ May the production of temporary materials also see a thaw (｀・∀・´) Boom!! *For more, please check the link below.

◆ Introducing "Count AI" StatHack Inc., an AI startup originating from the University of Tokyo, has been offering an AI tool called "Count AI" on a subscription basis since October 2023. This tool streamlines the counting and recording of product quantities before shipment. In manufacturing, a "quantity inspection" is conducted to confirm the number of products before shipment, but this inspection is performed solely through visual checks, and the results are not recorded or stored as evidence. This leads to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs due to human error. ◆ Count and Record with Just a Smartphone Photo "Count AI" is a tool that automatically counts the number of products by simply taking a photo of them with a smartphone, and records the results in the cloud. The AI is specifically developed for the products being counted. The photos taken are stored in the cloud linked to the customer's order information, inspection date, and inspector's details, ensuring that evidence of the shipment quantity is retained, allowing for prompt responses to any shortfalls in delivery. By utilizing "Count AI" in this way, companies can reduce the number of personnel required for quantity inspections and allocate human resources to other tasks.

If the type of scaffolding is a frame scaffolding, it can be assembled without using tools, as long as the specified materials are prepared. In the case of wedge-type scaffolding, the protrusions called "wedges" at both ends of the beam pipes are fitted into the "jacks" of the building site and are driven in with a hammer to secure the assembly. Both types of scaffolding are widely used at many construction sites because they can be easily assembled and disassembled. However, frame scaffolding and wedge-type scaffolding have standardized dimensions and are not suitable for use on complex-shaped land or in narrow spaces. When constructing scaffolding with a high degree of freedom, single-pipe scaffolding is used. Single-pipe scaffolding allows for a high degree of flexibility by using a ratchet wrench or impact wrench to combine single-pipe tubes and single-pipe clamps. Therefore, this time, we will explain the single-pipe clamps necessary for constructing scaffolding with a high degree of freedom. *For more details, please download the PDF document.
