[New Product] A "Safety Block Usage Detection System" that automatically detects the non-use of safety blocks for fall accident prevention in high-altitude work has been introduced!

A safety management system that automatically detects "forgotten hook attachment" during high-altitude work and alerts users with an alarm when not in use.

In high-altitude work, the reliable use of safety blocks is required, but human errors such as forgetting to hook can lead to accidents on site. This product, "Harness Alert - Safety Block Compatible Model," is a usage detection system that can be retrofitted to safety blocks. It automatically detects the user's usage status with a magnetic sensor and issues an alarm to raise awareness when not in use. Furthermore, by using it in conjunction with "Harness Alert," it is possible to centrally manage the usage status of full harness-type safety belts and safety blocks. This product enables accident prevention through a system that does not rely on verbal reminders or visual checks for safety confirmation. ◇Features ■ Easy retrofitting When combined with an area setting machine, it can be implemented simply by attaching a magnet to your existing safety block and having the worker carry a tag. ■ Reliable detection with magnetic sensors The usage status of the safety block is detected by the tag's magnetic sensor, automatically determining when the hook is not in use. ■ Alarm for awareness when not in use If the safety block is not in use within a danger area, an alarm will activate, prompting the worker to ensure the proper use of the safety block. ■ Lightweight and compact design Both the tag case and magnet are designed to be approximately 20g, reducing the burden on the worker.

We will reduce fall accidents at high-altitude work sites caused by forgetting to hook the safety belt.

**[Amendment to the Labor Safety and Health Act]** In January 2022, there was a legal amendment regarding fall prevention equipment, and interest in ensuring safety during high-altitude work has increased. The Harness Alert detects when the safety belt hook is not detached from the hook holder and notifies users with an alarm (alert). It encourages high-altitude workers to use safety belts properly. *It can be easily attached to commercially available safety belts as an "add-on"!* **■ System Overview** 1. Set up the "Area Setting Device" at the high-altitude work site. The area setting device can be selected from three types: spot, rope, and wide, depending on the application. (For details, please refer to the basic information section.) 2. Workers will wear the "IC Tag-equipped Hook Holder" and "Hook Magnet." 3. Detect whether the "safety belt hook is being used" within the area. If the safety belt hook is not in use, an alarm (alert) will be issued. **■ Applicable Sites** General high-altitude work sites (bridge construction, residential construction sites, rooftop work)

Visualizing the dangers of high-altitude work sites and implementing a higher level of safety measures with the "Harness Alert Cloud."

The Harness Alert is a safety system that issues warnings to workers who forget to use hooks while working at heights, raising awareness of safety. By adding the Harness Alert Cloud, it transforms "invisible hazards" occurring on-site into "visible safety data," enabling preventive safety management to prevent accidents before they occur. Alarm history is automatically sent to the cloud via LTE communication, allowing administrators to check the site conditions from anywhere using a browser. By accumulating and analyzing data for each worker, it supports the understanding of danger trends and proactive safety measures. 【Features】 - Remote monitoring function: Check the safety harness usage status from a remote location - LTE communication compatible: Send on-site information to the cloud in real-time - Automatic alarm history recording: Automatically record the time of alarm occurrence, the relevant worker, and the area of occurrence - Reporting function: Automatically generate reports on hook usage status - Alert notification function: Notify administrators of alarms when hooks are not used - Browser compatibility: Viewable from a browser without the need for dedicated software - Easy installation: Can start operation with just the installation of additional equipment to existing systems *For details, please refer to the PDF document or contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.

● 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 【 HDA-0100 series 】 currently available from Fukuda Corporation is a "Portable Hydrogen Leak Detector." ■ Compact and lightweight, convenient for carrying (approximately 400 g, including battery) ■ Battery-operated and cordless (continuous usage time of approximately 8 hours) ■ High sensitivity and wide range (0.5 ppm to 5000 ppm) hydrogen measurement is possible in a handy type It has features such as these. "What is a Hydrogen Leak Detector?" It is a tester that can measure leaks in small areas that could not be measured in air leak tests and can also identify leak points. It uses a tracer gas consisting of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen, an industrial mixed gas (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017).

The HDZ-0201 is a hydrogen leak detector designed for installation in equipment. It is used to measure the overall leakage from the entire inspected item (workpiece). - The atmospheric pressure chamber method involves covering the workpiece with a chamber, filling the inside of the workpiece with tracer gas, allowing the leaked gas to accumulate in the chamber, stirring the leaked gas, and forcing circulation to measure the gas concentration with a hydrogen detector. - The vacuum chamber method allows for high-sensitivity measurements by evacuating the chamber and then introducing atmospheric air into the chamber, directing the gas to the hydrogen detector. There are two methods available. It features a compact and lightweight design that is easy to integrate into equipment. Additionally, its concentration resolution capability is ultra-high sensitivity up to 0.1 ppm (depending on set conditions and environmental conditions). Detection principle: Semiconductor type Detection sensitivity: Equivalent to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (depending on inspection conditions and measurement environment) Usage: Equipment-integrated type (dedicated for installation in equipment) Resolution: 0.1 ppm Power supply voltage: DC 24 V External dimensions: W 93 × D 91 × H 97 mm
