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, have site managers ever noticed that there are forklifts that are not in operation when they look around the site? Many people may wonder, "Is the current number really necessary?" or "Could we reduce the number a bit more?" when they see such a situation. With typical forklifts, it is only possible to check the operating hours using an hour meter, and it is not possible to grasp the operational status by time slots, the locations of travel, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. This time, we will introduce a case where a housing equipment manufacturer worked on reducing the number of forklifts using a system called "Rojitan Fork" that utilizes beacons and sensors. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related link.

[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.

CLT is known as a building material, but its applications are not limited to just buildings. The wooden lightweight mat "Hyper CLT Mat" is a new option for utilizing CLT in civil engineering. It can be used as a wooden mat in places where steel plates have been the norm, such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 mat is relatively light at about 230 kg, making it easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers different values compared to steel, such as reducing glare and metallic noise, as well as CO2 fixation through wood. Moreover, the Hyper CLT Mat is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as a NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." It can also be utilized for proposals involving the use of new technologies and environmental considerations in public works. From construction to civil engineering, the new use of wood is expanding in the form of wooden lightweight mats.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in 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 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 at all. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.

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.
