[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.

In civil engineering sites, there are many opportunities to use temporary roadways, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas with sheets. Until now, steel plates have been widely used, but there is a growing interest in temporary materials made from wood due to environmental considerations and CO2 reduction. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering CLT materials made from wood CLT. As wooden sheets, they can be used for mud prevention, ground protection, ensuring work pathways, and as a substitute for steel plates. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and reducing the burden of transportation, installation, and removal. Wood has the property of fixing CO2, and further improvements in transportation efficiency can be expected due to its lightweight nature. These materials also help improve the site environment by reducing glare and noise. In public works, they are easy to use as materials for environmental considerations, safety measures, and creative proposals, making them recommended for companies aiming to enhance site evaluations. Please consider them as a new sheet selection for civil engineering sites, registered as "TH-250021-A" in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS. We can provide proposals tailored to site conditions, from public works to private civil engineering projects.

Thank you very much for your continued support. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we will be taking our summer vacation on the following dates. ■ Summer Vacation Period ■ From Tuesday, August 11, 2026, to Sunday, August 16, 2026. For details such as shipping schedules, please check our company website via the link below. Please note that we will resume normal operations on August 17. Inquiries during the vacation period will also be addressed after August 17. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Earth Power Co., Ltd.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks 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 with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● 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.

Conventional AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) excel at safely transporting items to their destinations. However, with the rise of small-batch, diverse production, challenges such as the need to reconfigure settings every time the layout changes and the requirement for manual labor for subsequent tasks like "loading and unloading" or "assembly" hinder the optimization of production lines. In other words, automating only the transportation does not lead to an overall improvement in productivity at the site. This is where the "collaborative robot arm-equipped AGV," which integrates transportation and work, comes into focus. In this article, we will use Marble Inc.'s self-developed product "ΣoneRobo" as an example to organize the basic knowledge of AGVs and their differences from AMRs, while introducing methods to achieve both responsiveness to process changes and work accuracy, thereby realizing true optimization of production lines. Please use this as a reference to solve the "troubles" at the site.
