[Exhibition Report] Japan IT Week "26th Embedded/Edge Computing Expo Spring"

Bringing the ease of Raspberry Pi to FA and measurement control! A HAT expansion board that supports up to 8 connections creates new possibilities for Raspberry Pi.

【What's Different Here! Contec's Raspberry Pi Solutions】 ● Independently extended HAT specifications, enabling stack connections of up to 8 units FA control and measurement control systems require numerous signal inputs and outputs. Contec has expanded the standard HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) specification, which typically allows only one connection, to support multi-tier connections. With our unique Board ID system, we enable stack connections of up to 8 units, catering to systems that require a large number of signal inputs and outputs. ● No waste of development assets, multi-platform compatibility If you want to partially replace a PC-based system with a Raspberry Pi-based one, or scale up a Raspberry Pi-based system to a PC-based one, Contec allows for migration with minimal program changes. Our integrated driver software absorbs the differences in hardware, ensuring high compatibility at the API level. 【Product Lineup】 ● RAS function expansion ● Digital input/output / Relay output ● Analog input/output ● Counter

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.
