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.

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
