[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.

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.

● The production time for cast 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 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! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "HA-T Series" is an energy-saving automatic door sensor that opens only for those who wish to enter, whether on a busy street or in a narrow passageway.
