The "E・C Emergency Earthquake Alert Premium Service" transmits information about the epicenter via an internet connection to emergency earthquake alert devices installed in offices and other locations. The emergency earthquake alert device instantly calculates the expected seismic intensity and the time until arrival, conveying to users through text and audio on an LCD panel, "An earthquake of intensity ○ will occur in ○ seconds." By understanding the occurrence of an earthquake in advance, it promotes smooth evacuation for employees and customers, ensuring their safety. 【Features】 ■ Provides information more accurately than television, radio, or mobile phones ■ Helps ensure the safety of customers and employees ■ Not only earthquake alerts but also tsunami information is now being distributed ■ Easy installation ■ A robust support system ensures peace of mind even after installation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Signal Now" is an advanced emergency earthquake notification device equipped with a variety of reporting functions for high-level users. It immediately reports when the predicted seismic intensity, calculated after receiving an emergency earthquake notification following the onset of shaking, reaches the set intensity. Additionally, it can output a report format of the emergency earthquake notification reception history and the actual reporting history. 【Features】 ■ Instantly receives emergency earthquake notifications for high-level users ■ Simultaneous broadcasting through integration with broadcasting equipment ■ Excellent double power with security and connection via VPN (monitoring, management, reporting) ■ Responds to various fields with a wide range of functions *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

"EQ-Hunter" is an integrated earthquake early warning system suitable for equipment control (emergency stops, etc.) due to its reliable earthquake alerts. By combining a near-field earthquake detection device with an advanced emergency earthquake warning system, and processing information with a specially developed algorithm, it is now possible to issue alerts for major earthquakes occurring both far away and in close proximity or directly beneath. Additionally, it provides reliable alerts without being misled by the information errors (false alarms) that are problematic in emergency earthquake warnings, thereby protecting lives and equipment. 【Features】 ■ Reliable alerts for nearby and directly beneath earthquakes ■ Issuance of alerts and various controls based on accurate earthquake information without errors ■ Evacuation guidance announcements during an earthquake based on the actual seismic intensity at the installation site ■ Secondary evacuation announcements based on information about the end of the earthquake ■ Independent alert issuance (aftershock response) without relying on communication infrastructure *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We propose a "New Integrated Earthquake Early Warning System" that enables accurate alerts for all earthquakes through the linkage of a direct seismic detection device and emergency earthquake alerts. By linking with the seismic meter "Chokka-kun," which is equipped with a three-directional acceleration sensor, we can detect and report warning information for direct earthquakes and earthquakes within 30 km of the epicenter in less than one second. Real-time seismic intensity is continuously recorded (every 100 ms) during shaking, allowing for the prediction of damage based on the duration of seismic intensity above a certain level. 【Features】 ■ Covers technical limitations such as delays in emergency earthquake alert notifications ■ Accurate information reporting through real-time seismic intensity ■ Prevention of false alarms ■ Evacuation guidance during shaking and at the end of shaking ■ Information presentation usable for damage estimation *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The "Signal Now Lite" emergency earthquake alert reception device for "highly utilized users" quickly receives information about earthquakes that have occurred and can forecast the intensity and the time until significant shaking arrives. It is a notification system that utilizes the Japan Meteorological Agency's "Emergency Earthquake Alert (Warning/Forecast)." It also supports tsunami bulletins from the Japan Meteorological Agency, allowing for the notification of tsunami warnings (Type 2), advisories, and forecasts. It fully complies with the Japan Meteorological Agency's guidelines and is compatible with new tsunami bulletins, enabling the notification of tsunami warnings and advisories. 【Features】 - Five contact signals for external control (pulse width and other settings can be customized) and the ability to set three alarm intensity levels. - Customizable alarm sounds. - Direct control possible without the need for external option devices, primarily focusing on connection with broadcasting equipment (measures against head cut-off due to amplifier startup, priority audio output, etc.). - Alarm output continues even after S-wave arrival. - Settings for alarm possible time periods. - Utilizes SSL-VPN for a more secure internet connection. - Pre-registration allows for scheduling test broadcasts for training, etc. - Remote version upgrade function. - Capable of notifying "tsunami warnings and advisories." *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The Emergency Earthquake Warning is an earthquake prediction and alert system that began information distribution by the Japan Meteorological Agency in 2007. This document provides a specialized and easy-to-understand explanation of the "Emergency Earthquake Warning" offered by the Japan Meteorological Agency. [Overview] - What is the "Emergency Earthquake Warning" provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency? - What are P-waves and S-waves? - What is the difference between seismic intensity and magnitude? - Estimated damage predictions for each seismic intensity level - Emergency alerts from the arrival of P-waves to the arrival of S-waves! - The effectiveness of the Emergency Earthquake Warning Our company provides receiving devices and information systems to minimize damage through the "Emergency Earthquake Warning," as well as consulting for implementation. Disaster preparedness is never just about having the right equipment; we also conduct training and guidance on actions that can protect lives in emergencies after equipment installation.
