Tool management software that strengthens the management of machining operations. It centralizes tool information that tends to be scattered within the company and supports the improvement of business productivity!

●Centralized Management of Cutting Tools and Tooling Information We build an integrated tool library to centrally manage data on cutting tools, tooling, jigs, measuring instruments, etc., which tend to be scattered within the company. This promotes information sharing across departments and allows us to establish a knowledge base not only of catalog information but also of our own know-how. ●Centralized Management of Files Used in Machining Operations In addition to tool information, we manage CAD/CAM data, NC programs, setup instructions, photos, videos, etc., in a one-stop manner for each processing unit. All "tools + files" are processed in a visible and standardized format. ●Collaboration Between Design and Manufacturing in Machining In addition to production preparation information such as tool information used in CAD/CAM, we manage manufacturing site information such as inventory management of actual tools and the location of tools attached to and detached from machine tools, achieving the integration of management between production technology and machining site areas. ●Unique to Tool Management Specialized Vendors Through interfaces with various systems such as CAM, tool presetters, machine tools, tool storage systems, ERP, MES, and PLM, WinTool serves as an information hub in the machining business process and contributes to the improvement of machining business processes.

When it comes to hyper CLT sheets, many people may have the image of sheets used at construction or civil engineering sites. However, the potential of hyper CLT sheets (NETIS registration number TH-250021-A) goes beyond that. We believe that hyper CLT sheets can be utilized not only as "site materials" but also as "materials that support gathering places." One representative scene of this utilization is event venues. At event venues, there are many situations where it is necessary to temporarily protect the ground or create a safe environment for passage, such as outdoor events, local festivals, exhibitions, around temporary stages, food truck areas, material delivery routes, and pedestrian pathways for visitors. In this way, hyper CLT sheets have the potential to contribute to creating a foundation for people to gather, move safely, and use spaces, going beyond the framework of being merely "sheets for construction." Hyper CLT sheets have the potential to be active not only at construction sites but also in various situations such as event venues and temporary spaces. We do not want to think of "sheets" as something only for sites, but rather we aim to further expand their possibilities in the future.

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 any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be conducted 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 required, please contact us.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
