Support for strengthening machine processing business management: Release of the tool management system WinTool 2025.1!

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.

• Production Management System

Organize and tidy up files and data used in machining operations, such as NC programs, for quick searchability!

Organize and tidy up files and data related to processing tasks by category. We will centrally manage various types of information such as CAD data, NC programs, other programs, tool lists, procedure manuals, images, videos, etc. This allows for one-stop management of files that are often managed separately by different departments and personnel, eliminating the chaos of file management across multiple departments and reducing human errors caused by a lack of consistency. Additionally, by properly managing files generated daily, we can accumulate information as know-how, which can be utilized in repeated processing and also serve as reference information for similar processing tasks. Furthermore, NC folders categorized by processing tasks can create sub-NC folders, allowing for hierarchical organization of NC folders. For example, by defining the relationships between main programs and sub-programs, we can enhance the depth of management regarding the relationships between processing tasks.

• Document and Data Management

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.

● 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.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway. The automatic door opens simply by bringing your hand close, addressing hygiene concerns even in facilities used by a large number of people. You can choose between "Non-vision Mount Type/HA-T401" and "Non-vision Built-in Type/HA-T520" depending on the application and installation location. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Presence of counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow passages ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors 【Features】 ● Adaptable to various door types with four detection spot settings ● Reduces unnecessary opening and closing, contributing to energy-saving by minimizing wasteful power consumption ● Equipped with a light touch function, allowing the door to open and close just by waving your hand, ensuring hygiene ● Can also be used as a wide detection range non-vision infrared sensor ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
