Easily diagnose the condition of lubricant degradation on the spot with your smartphone. ◆ We have received the Good Design Award ◆

Easily diagnose the degradation state of lubricants on the spot using a smartphone. Determine the remaining lifespan rate and contribute to stable machine operation through efficient maintenance. *GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025

"Idemitsu Smart OC" is a technology that allows for easy on-site diagnosis of the degradation and contamination status of lubricants using a smartphone and a photography module. By simply photographing the lubricant placed in the module with a smartphone, a dedicated app performs analysis based on lubricant analysis data, calculating the remaining lifespan percentage and the quantity and size of contaminants. This enables the determination of the appropriate timing for lubricant replacement based on numerical data, contributing to the stable operation of machinery and equipment. 【Features and Benefits】 ■ Reduction of time and labor for lubricant diagnosis ■ Determination of remaining lifespan percentage based on the color of the lubricant (degradation status) ■ Calculation of the quantity and size of contaminants (contamination status) ■ Contribution to the optimization of lubricant replacement timing Transitioning from TBM (Time-Based Maintenance) to CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) 【GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025】 GOOD DESIGN AWARD is an only comprehensive design evaluation and promotion mechanism in Japan. GOOD DESIGN AWARD places more importance on innovation than on visual beauty. Idemitsu Smart OC was recognized as an innovation that addresses social issues such as labor shortages and the reduction of environmental impact. *Please note that specifications may change without notice.

• Other inspection equipment and devices

Easily check the condition of lubricant degradation and contamination. Can also be used for foreign substance inspection of liquids.

The 'Simple Deterioration Diagnosis Technology for Lubricating Oil Using Smartphones' is a technology that allows for easy diagnosis of the deterioration and contamination of lubricating oil on-site. By placing lubricating oil in a shooting module and taking a photo with your smartphone, the remaining lifespan of the lubricating oil can be calculated through image analysis using a smartphone app. It can detect foreign substances such as dust and wear particles mixed in with the lubricating oil, and it is also applicable for foreign substance inspection of other liquids. [Features] - A diagnostic technology that analyzes the deterioration state of lubricating oil, unique to lubricating oil manufacturers - Allows for quantitative diagnosis on-site, reducing the hassle of sending samples - Simple operation to quantify 'how much longer it can be used' - Eliminates variability from visual confirmation, contributing to the efficiency of lubricating oil management *Free loan available for the first 10 applicants *You can view the overview document from the download button below.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create 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! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Are you struggling to explain "safety" to the client using just drawings? - The risks in blind spots are difficult to convey to the client through drawings alone. - Safety measures often become a target for cost reduction, making it hard to communicate their necessity. - There is a concern that the client might say, "It's more dangerous than I thought," after completion. Risks that are visible to design professionals are not easily understood intuitively by clients who are outside the field. This document is not just a simple explanation of sensor functions; it is a guide to visually explain "why sensors are necessary in that location." It can be used directly as explanatory material for the client. Here are three key points for utilizing this document: 1. Visualization of Risks Blind spots during vehicle departure and contact risks within the site are illustrated clearly. 2. Clarification of Selection Criteria A comparison table outlines the differences between complex sensor types such as infrared, ultrasonic, and loop coils. 3. Diagram of System Configuration It illustrates not just the sensors alone, but how they combine with components like rotating lights and control panels, providing practical assistance for electrical equipment design. Please make use of this to prevent "rework after completion" and "accident risks."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with a single receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
