[For Civil Engineering and Construction Supervisors] About the Heat Index (WBGT) and Physical Work Intensity

Supervised by Sysmet Co., Ltd. Meteorological Forecasters! A simple explanation of the Heat Index (WBGT) and physical work intensity!

Thank you for always reading. This time, we will deliver an article related to heatstroke. In the previous article, we explained the heat index (WBGT) as an indicator to measure the risk of heatstroke. WBGT is an index that quantifies the risk of heatstroke based on "temperature," "humidity," and "radiant heat." However, the factors contributing to heatstroke are not only external conditions. The work being performed at that time and the clothing worn also significantly impact the risk of heatstroke. Therefore, to prevent heatstroke, it is necessary to consider two factors: "correction based on clothing combinations" and "WBGT standard values according to physical work intensity." In this article, we will introduce these two aspects. *For more details, please visit our company website.

A dedicated meteorologist from Sysmet Co., Ltd. will provide easy-to-understand explanations of weather-related terminology and the characteristics of weather for each season!

Thank you for always watching. This time, I would like to address the topic of heat stroke. Some of you may be thinking, "What? It's still spring, and we're talking about heat stroke?" However, considering that the number of heat stroke cases tends to increase around May, it's not too early to start preparing now. *For more details, please visit our company website.

Heat Stroke Measures for the Construction Industry: Integration of Disaster Prevention Panel and Business Chat

Thank you for always watching. According to the one-month forecast announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency on July 29, there is a high probability that temperatures will be higher than average nationwide this year. In some regions, forecasts predict maximum temperatures exceeding 40°C, which could lead to unprecedented heat. In your company as well, the risk of heatstroke is increasing like never before, and I believe you are taking utmost care and measures for outdoor work. However, in addition to daily operations, monitoring the heat index (WBGT) and sharing information with all stakeholders can be labor-intensive. Therefore, I would like to introduce this feature! The natural disaster prevention system ZEROSAI provided by Sysmet supports smooth information sharing by automatically notifying heatstroke information through integration with [business chat]*! *Compatible business chats include "LINEWORKS," "direct," "WowtalkMicrosoft," and "Teams." *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Realizing Precision Control in Energy Innovation Hydrogen, fuel cells, CCUS, biofuels, CNT manufacturing. There are technologies on-site that monitor precise flows to support the energy of the future. Brooks Instrument's flow meters support the energy transition.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held in Fukuoka. ECAD is a dedicated CAD solution for electrical design, equipped with a wealth of features for control design and power distribution panel design, developed for domestic electrical designers over the past 40 years. It addresses challenges such as improving design quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing labor. At the venue, we will introduce the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which utilizes the panel manufacturing support system "WIRE CAM DX" to create pre-manufacturing information as a solution to the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have traditionally required skilled workers. This enables less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work. We invite you to visit our exhibition booth. ■ Exhibition Name: Monozukuri Fair 2025 ■ Location: Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A & B ■ Booth Number: Hall B BN-9 ■ Dates: October 15 (Thursday) to October 17 (Saturday), 2025 (3 days) ■ Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last day until 4:00 PM) *For more information about the exhibited products, please download the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
