In the factory, various machines are working to protect the equipment. For example, to ensure that production does not stop due to the weather, there are air conditioners that can handle both heat and cold, as well as drainage systems to remove rainwater, among others. However, when record-breaking heat waves or concentrated heavy rains occur occasionally, it can be difficult to cope, and this may impact the factory's production. Therefore, this time, we will introduce emergency pumps that are useful when suddenly faced with heavy rain. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

"RANDX," an IoT solution that anyone can use and connect in just one minute. Why can it connect so easily in just one minute? The reason lies in RANDX's communication. In the first place, why is network setup necessary for IoT? It's because most devices need to connect to the network within the company to send data to servers or the cloud. This means going through the company's IT department to apply for network access, setting up WiFi, and dealing with various hassles. But with RANDX, there's no need for such complications. *For more details, you can view the related links. For more information, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

There are various IoT services available, but when people actually hear the explanations, they often encounter difficult terms like "server" or "installing dedicated software," leading many to think, "It sounds complicated, so I'll pass." In fact, we at Mitsuwa Pump felt the same way. We tried several IoT devices with the idea of "providing pumps together with IoT devices to add value," but most of them stumbled at the initial setup stage, were cumbersome to manage, or produced data that was hard to understand. Therefore, Mitsuwa Pump aimed to create "IoT that anyone can use." We developed an extremely simple IoT service that can be easily implemented even by those who are not well-versed in IT. *For more details, you can view the related links.

The transportation of seawater is a troubling issue for many companies and facilities. The salt concentration of seawater is about 3.4%. This concentration is high enough to corrode standard FC pumps in a short period of time. Furthermore, seawater often contains floating debris and small solid particles, making it difficult to completely remove even with the use of strainers. Using general-purpose pumps can lead to early failures. Therefore, this time we will introduce pumps that excel in such cases. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Saburo: Mitsuwa Man, I learned about "centrifugal force" at school, but does this have anything to do with pumps? Mitsuwa Man: Good question! Actually, centrifugal force is one of the important principles of pumps, especially centrifugal spiral pumps. A centrifugal pump works by a component called an impeller rotating and pushing the liquid out. Saburo: What does an impeller look like? Mitsuwa Man: An impeller looks like the blades of a fan, kind of like a small windmill. By rotating, it sucks in the liquid and pushes it out. Then, that liquid passes through the pump, gradually losing speed and converting into pressure. *For more detailed information, you can view the related links.

Oh, can't we send the rain somewhere with a pump?! Mitsuwa Man: That's a good idea! While we can't stop the rain, pumps are used to send rainwater to other places after it falls. It's designed to flow naturally from the gutters on the road to specific locations, but pumps are used to adjust the amount of water collected in those areas. If we leave it alone, the rainwater would overflow. *For more details, you can view the related links. For more information, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*
