[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.

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.
