Request for a Cutter Knife Development Survey

[With Benefits] A Short Survey on the Challenges of On-Site Cutters (Completed in 2 Minutes)

We are developing a cutter to reduce "near misses" on site. Do you have any of these issues? - Have you ever had a close call while using a cutter? - Do you extend the blade too much? - Is it difficult to operate while wearing gloves? In cutter operations on site, a little carelessness or difficulty in use can lead to the risk of accidents. We are currently working on developing a safety cutter tailored to address these challenges. To create a product that better fits the site, we would love to hear your opinions. Please cooperate with a simple survey (about 2-3 minutes). (You can respond by clicking the "Survey Form" in the bottom left.) Those who cooperate will receive a "Kaikon" that can be used for unpacking tasks. (*Only those who provide their shipping address in the survey will be eligible.) We will use your feedback to create safer and more user-friendly products. *The color of the Kaikon cannot be chosen. *Your responses will be used free of charge as a reference for product development. Thank you for your understanding.

Easy for anyone, neatly opens, opening cutter.

The "Packel S" is a specialized cutter that allows you to easily open various types of bags, such as pouches, food bags, and gardening bags, simply by pinching and sliding. The blade is located inside the clip, reducing the risk of accidental contact during use. It is a disposable type that does not require blade replacement, thus avoiding the risk of injury during replacement. Compared to the conventional "Packel," it has improved grip comfort and visibility of the blade guide, achieving a balance of higher safety and ease of use. You can check the usage instructions in a YouTube video featuring the old type "Packel." 【Features】 ■ Easily opens various types of bags ■ Simple to open by just pinching and sliding ■ Usable for both right and left-handed users ■ Disposable design that does not require blade replacement ■ Available in two colors: blue and yellow ★ You can view the "Near Miss Case Collection" that occurs in workplaces using utility knives by clicking the download button below. *For more details about the product, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Presenting the upgraded "New Near-Miss Case Collection" that is easy to view and use.

We have renewed the "Near Miss Case Collection"! It is now categorized by incidents, making it easier to find the necessary information. Additionally, specific countermeasures for each near miss and reference information such as countermeasure cutters are also included. To ensure that past near misses are not wasted. And to prevent potential dangers that may occur next. The "New Near Miss Case Collection" supports the creation of a safe workplace. This book transforms safety awareness into action. Please make use of this more accessible and user-friendly case collection in your safety activities on-site! This is the latest version as of August 2025. *If you have challenges in your current situation, we can also provide suggestions from Olfa. Please make your request through "Contact Us."

It is important to prevent minor accidents and serious incidents by working to prevent the recurrence of near misses!

This document introduces examples of near-miss incidents that occurred while using a utility knife. It includes cases such as leaving the blade extended while placing it on a box, which nearly caused injury when someone else touched it, and instances where the blade broke and flew off while working with it extended too far. By raising awareness and changing tools, potential injuries during work can be prevented, so please make use of this information. [Contents (partial)] ■ Blade left extended (1) ■ Blade left extended (2) ■ Blade extended too far ■ When replacing the blade ■ Getting carried away ■ Placing fingers in the direction of the blade *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

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.

We have published the latest issue (No. 94) of the ISO-related information magazine "Intertek News."
