The Basics of SDGs You Can't Ask Now【Environmental Measures VOL.11】

This explains the overview and key points of initiatives related to Goals 13 to 15, which are directly connected to environmental issues in the SDGs.

Environmental issues around the world are diverse. In the previous white paper, we touched on climate change, but there have been recent examples of environmental issues related to Japan, such as the following: - July 2023: Heavy Rain Disaster in Akita Prefecture [Overview] Location: Akita Prefecture Summary: The stationary rainy season front that lingered over the Tohoku region became active, resulting in heavy rainfall primarily in the northern part of Tohoku. Damage: One fatality, four injuries, as well as flooding in homes and basements due to river overflow and landslides. - July 2020: Oil Spill Incident off the Southeastern Coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean [Overview] Location: Shallow waters off the southeastern coast of Mauritius Summary: A Japanese cargo ship ran aground in shallow waters off the southeastern coast of Mauritius, causing fuel oil to leak due to hull buckling and other issues. Damage: No human casualties reported. It is estimated that up to 2,000 tons of fuel oil leaked. The SDGs are goals established to address not only these environmental issues but also various problems such as poverty and inequality, with the aim of uniting the world in tackling them. This white paper will primarily focus on the initiatives and key points of the SDGs related to environmental issues.

We will introduce the reasons why Quick Balm is widely adopted in industries such as manufacturing, construction, energy, chemical plants, and industrial waste transportation!

Are you having trouble storing liquid containers like drums? Direct placement... worried about liquid leakage if the container falls over. Pits... difficult to rearrange. Metal oil pans... too heavy to move. Leak-proof pallets... too tall, making it hard to reach the drums. The "Rigid Lock Quick Berm" will solve your problems! 【Features】 ■ Prevents the spread of liquid leakage from drums. ■ When the wall is lowered, it allows for forklift or hand fork access. ■ Suitable not only for containers but also for storing generators and vehicles. ■ Can be folded compactly, so storage space is not an issue. ■ Convenient for sudden layout changes. ■ Excellent oil and chemical resistance. ■ Flame retardant compliant.

[Part 2 of the two-part structure] We will introduce actual cases of soil contamination and effective soil contamination countermeasures that we can tackle immediately.

In "Soil Contamination Measures Part 1," we provided basic knowledge about soil contamination and details about the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. In the second part of this white paper, "Soil Contamination Measures Part 2," we will introduce actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective soil contamination measures that we can take immediately. Soil contamination is recognized as part of environmental issues, but its effects are diverse and can pose significant risks to people's health. Based on past cases, we will explore what kinds of health damage have occurred and what measures have been effective, while seeking specific guidelines for actions to reduce the risks we face.

We will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate countermeasures in two parts.

Modern companies are increasingly required to fulfill stricter regulations and social responsibilities from the perspective of environmental protection. Among these, "soil contamination measures" are particularly noteworthy. Soil contamination is often caused by corporate activities and not only leads to health hazards and environmental destruction but also carries the risk of significantly undermining a company's credibility. This document will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate responses, divided into two parts. In Part 1, we will provide basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. By responding swiftly to soil contamination issues, it is possible to mitigate environmental risks and achieve sustainable management. We sincerely hope that you will contribute to environmental protection while fulfilling your social responsibilities as a company.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

The inspection targets of the "MSX-7003 series" are relatively large electronic devices. 【Inspection Targets】 - LED - Optical devices - High-frequency devices - Power semiconductors - IR sensors - Gyro sensors - Angular velocity sensors - Electrolytic capacitors, etc. The transport system is designed based on "pallet to pallet" to accommodate various types of work. The following three processes are performed automatically by the airtight inspection device: - Helium bombarding - Gross leak test - Fine leak test For packaged products smaller than 10 mm on each side, the work is set up using pallets or trays, followed by helium bombarding ↓ Then transported to the leak test process through high-speed handling ↓ Going through a continuous process from the gross leak test to the fine leak test ↓ And finally, discharged onto a pallet through high-speed handling. It also supports inline operations (the height of the pass line is 940 mm). Please watch the YouTube video from the link below.
