[Until October 31] Announcement of the "Online Exhibition 2022 Autumn 'Poka-Yoke Festival'" hosted by Hertz Electronics (2022/9/28 - 2022/10/31)

Ensuring traceability of tool operations in the production process.

This is a Windows-compatible application that can be used in combination with a LAN-connectable error-proofing receiver, aimed at customers who want to ensure work traceability using tools. It can be used in conjunction with the "Simple Ru Pokayoke Counter TW-800R-SCL" or the "LAN Connectable Type Error-Proofing Receiver TW-820R-EXL/TW-800R-EXL." <Main Features> ■ Ensuring Work Traceability - Work performance can be recorded and saved. - You can grasp the real-time status of work performance for each work item where a "FAIL" has occurred. ■ Error-Proofing Across Multiple Processes - You can issue execution instructions for work to the TW-800R-SCL installed across multiple processes. ■ Counting Functionality on PC (POKAYOKE plus Viewer) - When linked with the TW-820R-EXL/TW-800R-EXL, which does not have a count display, you can install the POKAYOKE plus Viewer on a Windows PC at the work site to display counts at up to 16 locations.

Achieves half-lock prevention between connectors connected to the wire harness.

We received a request from an automotive parts manufacturer stating, "We want to prevent unlatched (half-locked) conditions during the wire harness connector mating process." In response to our customer's request, we developed a dedicated tool (hereinafter referred to as "Connector Mating Checker") to confirm that the connectors connected to the wire harness used in the customer's production process are in a locked state. By equipping the Connector Mating Checker with the mistake-proofing transmitter TW-800T, we created a system that "wirelessly transmits work performance when it is confirmed that the connectors are in a locked state." 【Mechanical Design】 (1) Wireless transmission occurs only when the connectors are in a locked state. (2) The design allows operators to easily perform confirmation tasks (achieving a size that fits in hand). (3) Confirmation tasks can be performed on connectors located in narrow spaces. Since numerous connectors are used in automobiles, it is expected that this system can be applied to connectors of other shapes, leading to the horizontal deployment of half-lock prevention (mistake-proofing) for connectors. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Other machine elements

We support mistake-proofing in tasks using tools such as torque wrenches, plier wrenches, and electric tools.

The LAN connection type Poka-Yoke receiver TW-800R-EXL is a receiver that has a LAN port added to the single output type Poka-Yoke receiver TW-800R. When combined with the Poka-Yoke transmitter TW-800T, it can be used in production processes such as assembly, machining, and pressing, using tools like torque wrenches, plier wrenches, check pens, and electric tools, to prevent operator errors (Poka-Yoke). It can be paired with multiple Poka-Yoke transmitters TW-800T (there is no limit to the number of devices that can be paired).

• Other FA equipment

Transmission and reception devices for poka-yoke with a communication distance of 100m.

The TW-820R-EXL is an enhanced receiver for poka-yoke applications, equipped with LAN output, improving the communication performance of the TW-800R-EXL receiver. When combined with the slim transmitter TW-820T for poka-yoke applications, it achieves a communication distance of 100 meters, significantly extending the previous range of 30 to 50 meters. Additionally, by replacing the LAN-connected TW-800R-EXL receiver currently in use in production processes with the TW-820R-EXL, it is possible to extend the communication distance without changing the transmitter attached to the poka-yoke tools. This allows for the transmission of poka-yoke information over the customer's LAN infrastructure. It can pair with multiple poka-yoke compatible tools (there is no limit on the number of devices that can be paired). Furthermore, by integrating with the "Production Process Support Software for Poka-Yoke Tools POKAYOKE plus" via LAN, work traceability can be ensured.

• Other work tools

Prevention of omissions in tool work during the production process.

The Simple Pokayoke Counter TW-800R-SCL is a simple yet highly functional receiving device with a counting feature, designed for customers who want to start implementing Pokayoke with tools immediately. With just a simple button operation, you can build a Pokayoke system (count management) with one tool (equipped with the Pokayoke transmitter "TW-800T" or "HRF-2402"). By linking it with the new product "Production Process Support Software for Pokayoke Tools POKAYOKE plus" via LAN, you can ensure work traceability. ■ June 14, 2023 - Count Function Upgrade 1. Additional Features in "Standalone Mode" - LAN output function for work performance data - Count-up function - Judgment function using a work timer - Sensor input function to enable counting...etc. 2. Addition of New Mode - Simple Count Mode: A mode that only counts up without making judgments (maximum count of 999 times).

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
