We will exhibit at the Construction Technology Fair 2024 in Chubu! (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture)

Using "drone and pole camera technologies compatible with non-GNSS environments," we support close visual inspections of infrastructure structures such as bridges!

A drone capable of autonomous flight without relying on GNSS uses a pole camera that can extend up to 11 meters to capture images of infrastructure structures (architecture and civil engineering). It extracts damage and creates damage diagrams through image analysis technology (AI and manual). Additionally, we can create three-dimensional models of structures and generate orthomosaic images according to customer requests. 【Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Listed Inspection Support Technology Performance Catalog Adoption Record】 - Structural inspections (architecture, civil engineering, equipment): 240 cases - Among them, bridge inspection records: 49 bridges (19 prefectures) (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism: 26 bridges, prefectures: 12 bridges, municipalities: 11 bridges ⇒ Aichi Prefecture: 13 bridges) 【Deliverables】 Captured images, damage photos (composite images/damage display), damage diagrams * Depending on requests, we can provide image layout diagrams, three-dimensional models, etc. 【Exhibition Information】 ■ Maintenance and Resilience TOKYO 2024 - International Drone Exhibition - 〇 Date: July 24 (Wed) - 26 (Fri) 〇 Venue: Tokyo Big Sight East Exhibition Hall 〇 Exhibitor Seminar: July 24 (Wed) 11:00 - 11:50 JDC Forum: July 26 (Fri) 12:10 - 12:30 Theme: Advanced management of bridges, aqueducts, etc. using a three-dimensional inspection ledger.

A inspection robot that can automatically avoid obstacles such as eaves and windows to ensure worker safety and address labor shortages! It is also capable of close visual inspection using cameras and detecting floating issues with a tapping device.

This is a robot developed through joint research between Toyohashi University of Technology and Sanshin Kenzai Kogyo, designed to ascend and descend exterior walls for inspections. The development concept focuses on ensuring the safety of workers, addressing labor shortages, digitizing inspections and surveys, and securing flexibility in application through modularization. Currently, we are conducting verification tests with the aim of commercialization. 【Development Concept】 ■ Ensuring the safety of workers ■ Addressing labor shortages ■ Reducing costs of inspections and surveys ■ Securing flexibility through modularization of inspection equipment 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Capable of carrying inspection equipment and using cameras and impact testers to diagnose deterioration and detachment of exterior walls ■ Enables high-altitude inspections without the use of scaffolding or gondolas ■ Eliminates concerns about dangerous work, costs, stress, and aesthetics ■ Allows for inspections of bridge decks without the use of crane trucks on bridge roads *This robot is currently under joint research and development.

Introduction of various surveys and proposals utilizing infrared cameras, radar rebar detection, and various tests.

At Sanxin Building Materials Industry Co., Ltd., we conduct investigations that include thermal photographs of exterior walls as visual aids for exterior wall inspections. By using infrared images in addition to traditional inspections, we can appeal visually to clients, leading to a deeper understanding. In the inspection of concrete structures, we utilize the radar rebar detector "SIR-EZ," which combines a control computer and detection device into one, allowing for quick detection of rebar and non-metallic pipes within the structure. A laser pointer is used to indicate the location of the area currently being surveyed and the position of embedded objects such as rebar from the front and side of the detection device. We provide a speedy rebar survey without careless mistakes. 【Features】 ■ Ability to appeal visually by using infrared images ■ Quick detection of rebar and non-metallic pipes within concrete structures ■ Significant improvement in work efficiency by using equipment equipped with a laser pointer ■ Various investigations including core sampling, compressive strength testing, carbonation testing, and report preparation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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.

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.
