[Work Vehicle Proximity Detection System W Alert] Full of safety measures tips! Announcement of new column page release.

It warns of a 'dangerous' situation when heavy machinery like forklifts gets too close to people.

The "Worker Proximity Detection System" by Yoshikawa Industries supports the awareness of heavy machinery and workers, aiming to reduce the risk of contact. By installing a "detection device" on the heavy machinery and having the worker carry a "tag," an alarm will sound when the two come within a certain distance (which can be set). 【Features】 - One detection device can detect in 360 degrees (all directions). - The detection range can be set from 3m to 12m in 1m increments. - It detects by circumventing obstacles, so it also alarms for head-on approaches. - Alarms can be activated for both the heavy machinery and the worker (please choose a tag with alarm functionality). - It can be installed regardless of the manufacturer, type, or power source of the forklift (compatible with 12v/24v/48v). - The system and peripheral devices can be developed and customized according to customer requests. - With a variety of optional products, you can use it more comfortably! - By using the "Non-Detection Area Setting Device," you can designate the driver's seat as a "non-detection area." This allows for use without removing or turning off the tag, making it popular in environments where drivers change frequently.

By installing a magnetic field detector and magnetic field transmitter on the crane body and hook section, it warns of the proximity between the suspended load and the worker.

This is a case study of utilizing NETIS registered technology QS-150004-VE in crane trucks. □ System Overview - Installation Details Worker: Holds an active tag Crane truck body & hook section: Equipped with a magnetic field detector & magnetic field transmitter (Compatible vehicles: Rough terrain cranes, crawler cranes, etc.) - Alarm Scene When a worker holding the tag approaches the vehicle's surroundings and the suspended load, the tag emits a buzzer sound and vibration to alert the worker. □ Utilization Scene (with proven results) Certain airport land reclamation and leveling work *The photo of the detection device set is a standard product.

News---------------------------------------------- From March 29, 2024 (Friday)～ We have launched a dedicated product site for W Alert ----------------------------------------- Yoshikawa Industrial Co., Ltd. ICT NETIS Registration No. QS-150004-VE ★ A trusted safety product with over 8,000 units installed This system provides warnings to both drivers and workers, reducing "near misses" at construction sites. 【Features】 1. Capable of stable detection in all directions (360°), even for workers who are not visually detectable. 2. Can be finely adjusted according to the site conditions and the size of heavy machinery, with detection ranges set in six levels from 3 to 12 meters. 3. Two-stage alarms ("outer" and "inner") are possible depending on the detection distance (★ Our patented technology). 4. Detects people hidden in dark sites such as tunnels, or behind shadows and obstacles like materials. 5. Suitable for outdoor use. Dustproof and waterproof specifications, operational temperature range from -20°C to 75°C. 6. We handle everything from design to development and manufacturing in-house. We can also flexibly accommodate custom requests.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating 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! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

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 affecting the base material with heat. 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.

This time, the ACS-5000 is available as a facial recognition terminal compatible with FaceMe Security's add-on feature "Face Terminal," enabling access control management that combines "advanced anti-spoofing features" with high-speed facial recognition powered by edge AI. ■ Main Features 1. Accelerated Authentication Processing FaceMe Security is optimized for the MediaTek Genio 700's NPU, achieving faster facial recognition processing and reduced CPU load compared to processing solely on the CPU. It ensures stable authentication without delays even during peak times such as clocking in and out, contributing to alleviating congestion. 2. Advanced "Anti-Spoofing" Optimized for the IR + RGB camera mounted on the ACS-5000, it can quickly detect fraudulent authentication using photos, videos, or 3D masks within 0.6 seconds, ensuring reliable identity verification. 3. Door Control Without Additional Equipment FaceMe Security can directly control the digital I/O of the ACS-5000, allowing for the construction of an access control management system without the need for additional equipment. This simplifies system configuration and reduces implementation costs.

This is an air leak tester for battery cases of electric vehicles (EVs). The battery case has the characteristic of being "large with a significant internal volume, and its structure may deform due to internal pressure." As a result, air leak testing generates "noise caused by its large size and capacity" and "noise caused by expansion or deformation due to internal pressurization." To mitigate this noise, this device features a newly developed smoothing function and a linear fitting correction function used in combination during measurement. Additionally, to achieve low-pressure control that is difficult to manage and to expand flow for large volumes, we provide a bypass box (CBU-600) equipped with an electro-pneumatic regulator for precise pressure control and a pressurization valve with a large effective diameter to supply high flow rates. Measurement methods: Work-Work comparison, Work-Master comparison, Fixed Master comparison Measurement pressure range: 10 kPa, 20 kPa, 50 kPa (depending on specifications) Gauge pressure sensor accuracy: ±2% F.S. Differential pressure sensor accuracy: ±0.5% F.S. Group settings: 0 to 31 groups Power supply voltage / Power consumption: AC100 to 240 V / 100 VA

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.
