[AGV Introduction Information] Japan Fine Steel Co., Ltd.

It is possible to automate without changing the existing conveyor equipment.

The unmanned transport vehicle (AGV) that is strong on rough roads can be equipped with a conveyor. It can automatically transfer work from existing conveyor systems due to its ability to communicate at signals. The conveyor that can be mounted can be changed according to your needs, such as roller conveyors or chain conveyors. Connecting conveyors can block the flow within the factory, but with a conveyor-mounted unmanned transport vehicle (AGV), automation and labor-saving can be achieved without changing existing equipment, while maintaining high mobility. 【Features】 - Three types: magnetic induction method, laser induction method, and hybrid induction method of both - With a lifter function, it can handle conveyors of different heights for transfer - Can be linked with sheet shutters and elevators - Equipped with a lithium-ion battery for non-contact fast charging - Made in Japan Customization is also possible to meet customer requirements! *Please refer to the accompanying materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

A highly capable AMR that can navigate rough terrain without a fixed path.

The autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designed for rough terrain can easily navigate 15mm step heights and 6% slopes, making it an effective automated transport device. With a load capacity of 1000 to 2000 kg, it enables the automation and reduction of manpower in heavy cargo transport. Additionally, it can be used outdoors even in rainy conditions, allowing for inter-building transport. Its ability to handle slopes and steps broadens the range of transport routes. There is no need for construction to embed magnetic rods along the travel route. 【Features】 - Capable of guide-free operation outdoors - Can overcome water gradients and grating - Compact design allows use in narrow spaces - Can be integrated with sheet shutters and elevators - Equipped with a lithium-ion battery for non-contact fast charging - Made in Japan Customization is also possible to meet customer requirements! *Please refer to the accompanying materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

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.

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.

We have published the latest issue (No. 94) of the ISO-related information magazine "Intertek News." Intertek News delivers information and various topics related to ISO audits, certifications, and verifications. This issue features a special section titled "Interpreting Standard Revisions," which introduces key points of management system standard requirements that new personnel should understand as preparation for standard revisions. Additionally, we have included customer case studies, articles contributed by auditors, and information on certifications and standards, as well as the latest topics, so please take a look.
