Added OPC Copaseed SCP, a copper paste for electroless copper plating catalysts for printed electronics.

Newly developed copper paste "OPC Copashield SCP" for direct printing of electroless copper plating seed layers onto film.

With the evolution of IoT, various devices and gadgets are now connected to the network in addition to computers and smartphones. In particular, fields such as wearable devices and smart home appliances are expected to expand, and printed electronics, which directly print electrical circuits onto flexible materials, are attracting attention. Okuno Pharmaceutical Industry has developed a copper paste called "OPC Copaseed SCP," which can directly print a seed layer for electroless copper plating onto film, by merging the surface treatment and screen printing technologies cultivated over many years as a technology in harmony with the environment. Currently, the subtractive method using single-sided copper-clad laminates (Flexible Copper Clad Laminates; FCCL) is the mainstream for manufacturing flexible printed circuit boards. Subtractive means subtraction in English, and it forms circuits by etching away unnecessary parts from the copper foil. Our company has developed a screen printing copper paste "OPC Copaseed SCP" and an electroless copper plating solution "OPC Copper HFS" for printed electronics. This process enables the reduction of environmental impact and improvement of productivity.

Details of the FaceMe Security 8.3 Update < Revamped UX for Action & Alert Rule Settings > Previously, individual settings were required for each action even under the same rule. By completely overhauling the UI and UX, we have transformed the operation screen to allow for intuitive and efficient configuration. ▶ Key Update Points - Multiple actions (notifications, access control, VMS integration, etc.) can now be configured under a single rule. - The settings screen has been consolidated into a single page, allowing for an overview and editing of the entire configuration at a glance. < Enhanced Integration Features with Face Terminal (Facial Recognition Terminal) > FaceMe Security integrates with the MSK Knoctoi series (Standard/Lite), enabling door opening and closing based on facial recognition results without the need for additional devices. This update allows for detailed configuration of door opening and closing rules based on location, time of day, and groups of individuals, enabling more flexible access management tailored to on-site operations. ▶ Expected Implementation Scenarios - All employees can enter the entrance, while only administrators can enter specific areas at night, etc.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

As lightweight materials such as CFRP and GFRP, FRP continues to be expected as a next-generation structural material. In this research, we successfully devised and prototyped a groundbreaking molding method that replaces the role of gas in an autoclave with thermally expandable microcapsules, making it simple and not limited by volume. We attempted a new FRP molding method that does not use an autoclave, utilizing the thermally expandable microcapsules discovered in this research, and achieved favorable results. In addition to cost reduction, the absence of volume restrictions allows for applications in ultra-large molded products that were previously unimaginable, thus expanding the range of applications.
