Update the interface with the tool management system WinTool and SolidCAM.

Centralized management of cutting tool information and tooling information that tends to be dispersed within the company!

With the trend of small-lot production of various types and production of different variations, the number and types of tools handled are increasing, leading to potential bottlenecks in machining due to tool-related issues. Utilizing WinTool (tool management system) to build a unique integrated tool library for your company is the first step towards resolving these bottlenecks. By constructing an integrated tool library, information accessed by cross-departmental personnel such as manufacturing planners, NC programmers, machining site personnel, and purchasing staff will be centralized. This will facilitate easier information sharing among stakeholders and promote smooth communication between departments through reference to a single source. Additionally, for example, it will be possible to trace information from various search criteria to tool lists, assembly tool data, and tool component data, allowing for quick access to the desired tool data and significantly improving the time spent searching for information. Furthermore, by recording and storing cutting condition data, you can derive suitable performance information from the tool information you manage, enabling effective use of this information in future NC projects.

Would you like to utilize the tool data from the WinTool integrated tool library in the CAM system while managing tool information at the machining site?

The WinTool Integrated Tool Library centrally manages tool data used within the company, including combinations of cutting tools, tooling, collets, and managing DXF contours and 3D models. NC programmers can access the WinTool Integrated Tool Library from their CAM systems, allowing them to create NC programs while selecting tool data. By properly managing tool data, it prevents situations where work must be halted due to incorrect tool data during CAM operations. Users of CAM will benefit from the advantages unique to WinTool, such as the ability to quickly identify resident tools on NC machine tools and stocked tools on tool shelves, as well as expedited arrangements through prior confirmation of the availability of inserts, cutting tools, and tooling. This is especially useful when multiple CAM systems are used within the company.

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.

We have published the latest issue (No. 94) of the ISO-related information magazine "Intertek News." Intertek News delivers information and various topics related to ISO audits, certifications, and verifications. This issue features a special section titled "Interpreting Standard Revisions," which introduces key points of management system standard requirements that new personnel should understand as preparation for standard revisions. Additionally, we have included customer case studies, articles contributed by auditors, and information on certifications and standards, as well as the latest topics, so please take a look.
