[Free Webinar: Held on April 15 (Tuesday)] "Reiwa Edition Logistics Technology Handbook" Publication Commemorative Webinar - An explanation of the essential handbook for practitioners covering the latest material handling trends and various data on technical standards.

Visualizing the forklift's movement and operational status!

"Rojitan Fork" is a service that uses IoT tools to visualize the operational status of forklifts within warehouses and factories, calculating the truly necessary number of forklifts. 【Benefits of Introducing Rojitan Fork】 ★ Real Data Obtain real data through IoT devices, not based on intuition or experience! ★ Consultant Recommendations Consultants analyze the data and suggest points for efficiency and the appropriate number of forklifts! ★ Low Cost All equipment is available for rent at a low cost!

Introduction of case studies for the implementation of IoT tools for forklift traffic flow acquisition! A table of implementation results is also included.

This document introduces a case study that addresses the reduction of forklift numbers using a system called "Rojitan Fork," which utilizes beacons and sensors. It provides detailed explanations of the reasons for implementation, the use of two types of beacons and load sensors, and the duration of the implementation. Additionally, it includes a table of implementation results, clearly presenting information such as the implementation sites, number of units, challenges and effects, and the number of units reduced. [Contents] ■ Is one forklift per person really necessary? ■ The mechanism of Rojitan Fork ■ Implementation of Rojitan Fork ■ Ten forklifts with an operating rate of less than 10% ■ Visualization of forklift movement paths ■ KPIs presented by Rojitan Fork *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

[April 15 (Tuesday) 14:00~14:50 Free Online Seminar] Do we really need the current number of forklifts?

Forklifts are used in factories and logistics warehouses for handling and transporting large cargo and pallets that cannot be managed manually. However, when site managers look over the area, they may notice that some forklifts are not in operation. When seeing such a situation, many people might wonder, "Is the current number really necessary?" or "Wouldn't it be okay to reduce the number a bit?" Generally, with standard forklifts, one can only check the operating hours using the hour meter, and it is not possible to grasp the operational status by time slots, the locations traveled, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. In this free online seminar, we will introduce a case study that uses a system called "Rojitan Fork" utilizing Visual Slam to understand the movement lines and utilization rates of forklifts and work on reducing the number of units. [Free Online Seminar Overview] ■ Date and Time: April 15 (Tuesday) 14:00 - 14:50 *Live questions will be accepted ■ Cost: Free *For more details, please check the seminar details from the link below or feel free to contact us.

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 to 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 you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair 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" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair 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 made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

We will be exhibiting our products at "JECA FAIR 2026 (the 74th Electrical Construction Exhibition)" held at Tokyo Big Sight. At this exhibition, we will be jointly exhibiting with Mibu Electric Manufacturing. Our booth will focus on the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which addresses the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have required skilled workers, enabling less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work. We will also introduce various other products. We invite you to visit our booth during your visit. ■ Exhibition Name: JECA FAIR 2026 (the 74th Electrical Construction Exhibition) ■ Location: Tokyo Big Sight, Halls 1-3 ■ Booth Numbers: 1-01 ECAD Solutions, 1-02 Joint Exhibition with Mibu Electric Manufacturing ■ Dates: May 27 (Wednesday) - May 29 (Friday), 2026, for three days ■ Hours: May 27 (Wednesday) 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM May 28 (Thursday) 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM May 29 (Friday) 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM *For more information about the exhibited products, please download the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

We would like to express our gratitude for your continued support and announce a campaign where you can purchase consumables at a great price.
